Ready tosizegobble these up. :)The way the CU board was lighting up several months ago, I thought you and swampkitty were going to open up a booth in the N.M. I hope they meet your expectations, and ours as well. The pan fried pierogies from the Gray Wolf Tavern were lightly crisped in butter and oil.
When's everybody heading over today? Is noon on a Friday in the N.M. kind of crazy?

Well my direction on that had to change. Having a booth in the N.M. requires a big time commitment to cover all those operating hours. My partner, the Pierogi Fairy, is 35 weeks pregnant and I was fortunate enough to start consulting full time again. This situation makes it too much for us to make that commitment.
We are however going a different route. We have become involved with the food incubator program through ECDI. You may have read about it here on CU a while back. The goal now is to make them available at local grocers and markets. We are moving down that path with success, but there is a lot to do.

@ Roland - I found it on a search. I missed that in the home section. I'll read about it tonight.

Meanwhile, time to get some Polish cuisine if I can find a parking space. Maybe by Goodale Park?

I am in possession of six pierogis (well, five now), a pint of borscht, cucumber salad (there's a yummy looking leek salad too) and a large sausage. Everything is fantastic and the store is beautiful.
Congratulations to Molly and the boys on Grand Opening Day!

I just got back from lunch! 4 Pierogis and a chicken cutlet. I wanted a Kielbasa but they didn't have them ready at the time. I also, got bread, leek salad and beets for free! The pierogies were absolutely outstanding. Just sitting in butter and sauteed onions waiting to be gobbled up. YUMMY!!

A few of us went down to try the new place out. It's great to see how genuinely excited they all are to be there. I'm sure they'll do well.
The pierogies are basic potato, soaked in butter with onion on top. They were yummy. No variety to choose from though.

I had the Mielone, which I liked and the red Borszcz/borscht. I have to say I was disappointed with that. It was mostly just beet broth/beets and spices. I used to more stuff in my borscht, so either the Polish version is different or I was getting the remains even at 11:45 am. My background is not Slavic, but I took Russian Language and culture in college, and a maternal great grandfather was a German Mennonite from Saratov/Volga region of Russia.

Pierogies, Bigos and BorschtSo I visited Hania's after the lunch rush today, after the pierogies and kielbasa were restocked from the hungry lunch crowd, though I missed the local Artisan bread. Miss Molly was so sweet and accommodating and was a gracious host along with her brother and Chef Hubert. This is truly a vendor I will enjoy returning to again and again.
Today I tried the pierogies, borscht, and bigos and enjoyed them all on opening day. As WildmanDan said, the borscht was mild and contained large discs of beets, with no heat or spice on the tongue whatsoever. Perhaps they'll adjust the flavor and ingredients over the next few days.
The pierogies were mild as well with the potato and cheese stuffing and a little bit of mild onion on top. I forgot to ask if they carry sour cream, but I really enjoyed the bigos on top of the pierogies, with all of that sauerkraut goodness swimming around.
Saturday's pierogies will be stuffed with sauerkraut (My favorite)

Which reminds me, maybe this is a Russian thing and not Polish, while they were kind enough to give me bread for I assumed my borscht, but only offers for condiments were the usual. What, no sour cream offers for my borscht?

The Polish Borscht I've always had is very different from the Russian variety. It's is generally strained and more like a beet broth than a hearty soup. It has always been served by the Polish families I know in a cup and drunk like bouillon. Perhaps this is more the variety served at Hanias.
I talked to them on Thursday because I was excited about the pierogis. I asked what kinds we can expect, and they said for now: potato, sauerkraut, cheese, and hopefully blueberry. I hope they can expand to other fruits sometime because I still dream of apricot pierogis.

Review: Hubert’s Polish Kitchen at The North Market
By: Morgan Kelley
Hubert’s Pierogi ($1.50 each) are wonderfully stuffed with potato, cream cheese and onions, and are drenched in a butter sauce. It seems like little effort went into the presentation of these treats, but that was more than made up for by the rich flavors and savory ingredients used. I found the dough to be slightly on the thick side, which made the exterior a bit chewy, but that’s really a fairly minor complaint. These pierogi were definitely the stand-out item of the meal and almost dangerously addictive (I’m craving more of them as I type this).
