| - Carl Funtal is doing something *really* special in his little pierogie shop in Etna!!
First of all, you'll be hard pressed to find a more generous, charismatic, kind hearted person in the whole world, and that love can be tasted in the food-- no doubt. As a newbie to the pierogie scene (thanks, Chef Boyfriend, for bringing these little joys into my life!) Carl pulled out all the stops and let us do a tasting of some of his greatest hits. All I can say is: woof! I can't believe I didn't break the chair!!
We had:
- the classic potato and cheese
- the Ruben (oh.my.god)
- the watermelon/jalapeƱo/chicken (say what?! Carl's homemade hot sauce takes it to the next level)
- pepperoni pizza (brilliant!)
- seafood (if Neptune were Polish, he'd eat these every day)
- chicken marsala (woah!)
- ... (this is right around the moment I blacked out into a coma of complete food bliss)
OH! We also had some boss homemade noodles that are super traditional, but the name escapes me. I can tell you, though, I would gladly eat my body weight in those perfect, buttery, little treats.
Save yourself the time and trouble of making your pierogies at home, and GO SEE CARL!! The guy is a pierogie manic in the very best way. If Yelp says the shop is closed, just give him a call-- seriously, chances are he's there and he'll sling you a dozen (or two).
