Celebrate the humble pierogi at Royal Oak Farmers Market
Sick of eating eggs on those keto diets? It's carb-o-palooza next weekend in Royal Oak.
The Metro Detroit Pierogi Party is scheduled for Aug. 18 at the Royal Oak Farmers Market.
Several food concessions stands will offer pierogi and a variety of Polish foods.
There will be polka music from the Duane Malinowski band, a shopping bazaar, and kids' activities.
Dobre Pierogi, based in Shelby Township, is one of the vendors selling a variety of dumplings at the pierogi party. Owner Diane Wittwer opened the pierogi shop more than three years ago.
His fancy pierogi are all handmade and have pretty braided edges. Varieties include potato cheddar, sweet farmer's cheese, sauerkraut, stuffed cabbage, and a blueberry pierogi with Michigan blueberries.
