I love it when things I do in the neighborhood turn out great. Such was the case with the Polka, Piwo, and Pierogi event at the Broadway Market on Saturday. It also served as a reminder to me as to what the Market can be year round. This treasure of ours over here in B-F needs to be an ethnic food magnet for all of WNY.
Author Edward Zawadzki will be signing his book “Poles in the New World” at the Broadway Market on 01/21/2012 from 11am to 2pm as part of Polka, Piwo, & Pierogi event at the market.
From the author’s website…
“The Poles in the New World” has from the start been a project from my heart and to see it keep growing in popularity has made me so proud! I’m getting new bookings almost daily to visit so many strong regions of Polonia right across North America. This book highlights the lives of 50 Poles of distinction and their great contributions to North American society. From Pulaski, Brzezinski to Martha Stewart and Steve Wozniak, Poles have given so much of themselves to the building of our North American society.

On July 18, I received an email asking me to be a judge in the Corpus Christi 4th Annual Pierogi Contest. You would have thought that I was given a million dollars with how excited I got. Not only would it be an extraordinary experience, but I’d also get to eat pierogis! I immediately added the event to my Google calendar, but I knew that the date would be permanently engraved in my noggin!
Waiting for today was like being 5 years old again waiting for Christmas day to arrive… but, it came. I made sure that I ate very lightly and left early enough to get there with out any conflicts. Oh, and by the way, I had my wisdom teeth removed on Tuesday. The doctor wanted to schedule it for yesterday, but I refused, as I had a big event that I could not miss.
Upon entering the Dozynki Festival, the happiness was contagious! People were laughing, eating, drinking, and dancing! I was very familiar with Polish music, as I grew up around it. I registered, participated in the Chinese Auction, and sat down anxiously waiting for the contest to commence. There were about 12 judges, including myself, all of which are Buffalo-centric and active in in the community in some way. I believe that they were all just as excited as I was. I got the wonderful pleasure of sitting across from Ben Siegel. Ben is an editor and designer for the Block Club magazine and he also works to help small businesses with design, marketing, web, and social media needs.
FOURTH ANNUAL BUFFALO’S BEST PIEROGI CONTEST
Contest Celebrates Buffalo’s Ethnic Heritage
Buffalo, New York – Corpus Christi Church is looking for Buffalo’s best pierogi by hosting its fourth annual Buffalo’s Best Pierogi contest on Saturday August 20 at 4:30p.m. The contest is open to all amateur cooks and businesses.
The contest has grown from fourteen contestants to last year’s high of thirty-five. Christopher Byrd the contest organizer says the event “captures Buffalo’s love for food while celebrating our city’s rich ethnic heritage with recipes and traditions passed on from one generation to the next.”
Applicants will be judged in one of three categories:
Homemade Traditional – boiled or fried pierogi filled with cheese, cheese/potato or kapusta (pickled or fresh cabbage) with or without mushrooms, carrots, etc.
Homemade Non-Traditional – open to entrant’s creativity, keeping in mind that a pierog is a stuffed pocket of dough.
Commercial – open to any business using a traditional recipe.
Deadline for entries is Saturday, August 13.
A group of celebrity judges will determine the winners for the contest. Winners in each category will walk away with the title of Buffalo’s Best Pierogi Maker.
The contest will take place during Corpus Christi’s 32nd annual Dozynki (pronounced Do-ZHIN-kee) Polish Harvest Festival on August 19, 20 and 22. This joyful commemoration, which dates to the middle ages, is the Polish equivalent of America’s Thanksgiving holiday.
Corpus Christi Church is located at 199 Clark St. in Buffalo, one block east of the Broadway Market in the heart of Buffalo’s Historic Polonia. Applications for the pierogi contest and a complete listing of Harvest Festival events can be found on the church website at http://dozynki.
Buffalo’s got Pierogi!
I stumbled across these photos on Facebook yesterday taken by Judith Felski of Saint John Kanty Church.
As you have read about here on BFA, Saint John Kanty sold pierogi throughout Lent as a fundraiser for the church.
Judith was kind enough to let me share the photos here on BFA.
The best pierogi are made by hand and because of the TLC people put into them.
From Judith:
I should tell you, though, that we sold out over the weekend and will not be making more until next year (we made and sold over 5,000 cheese and sauerkraut pierogi)!
How can you not love that?
The parishioners at Saint John Kanty, like the parishioners of all the BF churches, work very hard to keep their parish ALIVE.
Here is Saint Kanty’s Holy Week schedule—> Stop in and check it out!
This weekend is the last for Saint John Kanty’s pierogi sale.
Saint John Kanty Church is located at Broadway & Brownell.
