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.corpuschristibuffalo.org.
