Perogis are not just for Polish People

Pittsburgh is no longer the only place to get perogis in America.  The Polish, Russians and Ukranians have brought this dish back to America and The Roswell Tap and our culinary consultants and have now taken Perogis to a new stratosphere.

Traditionally stuffed with mashed potatoes, ground beef, sauerkraut and prunes; Perogis have been a long standing staple of the Eastern Block.  Today and most recently, tonight...our executive chef at The Roswell Tap has created and tested the initial flavors of Perogis that will be offered at the Tap and we are certain, you have never tried these perogis before.  Invented, taste tested and re-taste tested for quality, here is a sample of the not so delicate, delicacies:
  • Berkshire Pork, Veal, Sage and Mashed Potato...savory and hearty with a touch of salt
  • Lobster Mashed Potato and Citrus butter...rich and succulent, with a tangerine lime butter
  • Irish aged cheddar, Mashed potato and Rosemary Bacon...Jim Gaffigan would soil himself...go BACON!
  • Ground Beef short rib, Baked Potato with a caramelized Balsamic Vidalia onion...the whole steak dinner in your mouth.
  • Dessert Perogis....Strawberry and Chocolate dumplings with a dusting of cocoa powdered sugar...YUM!
I am Irish...not Polish!  No Polish, Russian or Serbian blood in my veins but i will tell you that I may have been a chubby Polish woman in a previous life.  The dough, with just a touch of salt and sour cream was crisp to the bite and soft like fresh bread while housing some of the finest ingredients this side of Warsaw.

I may never buy Mrs T's frozen perogis again after making them fresh myself.  If you haven;t had one, email me and come by for a taste...I just put a few dozen in the freezer and they won't last long.  If you have had a perogi...wait a month or two and come to the Roswell Tap and taste one of ours and you'll be calling your "Grammaw" and telling her you just had the best perogi you ever ate!
