Last weekend was the annual 9th Avenue International Food Fair (last year's report here) and we stopped by both Saturday and Sunday. We love visiting the neighborhood fair to see what local restaurants have stands (don't believe all the reports on Yelp that there are no local places participating; those people must be clueless) and to make our yearly stop at Millie's Pierogi.
We got our usual trio of pierogi on Saturday for $4.50 - kielbasa, cabbage, potato & cheese. We get the same ones every time because they're so good.
While we were eating the pierogi, we heard lots of people order the same combination. It's definitely the way to go. You can get Millie's pierogi for delivery (in large quantities), but we just don't think it would be the same as these buttery griddled versions we get at the fair.
On Sunday, we finally tried something from Millie's other than pierogi. We were intrigued by the kielbasa and the kraut dog, but we decided to go with the golumpki ($5). M thought about making golumpki back during the Week 2 challenge, but she doubts anything she could have made would have come out this good.
The golumpki consisted of cabbage wrapped around ground meat with rice, soaked in a tasty tomato and onion sauce. The meat was dense and tightly packed inside the cabbage leaves, which were really tender. We enjoyed this.
Ultimately, our favorite thing at Millie's is still the pierogi, but we're glad we tried the golumpki. Can't wait to get some pierogi next time!
