The food world is calling it a trend, but pierogi makers have been at it for generations
Eastern European immigrants and their descendants have preserved pierogi-making traditions in American churches, restaurants, and homes for more than a century.
The handmade pierogi tradition is now being described by the food world as a trend.
Volunteers at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Ukrainian Catholic Church in Wheeling continue making and selling handmade pierogi, following parish traditions dating to 1911.
Pierogi production remains hands-on, while Brooklyn restaurant Pierozek brings the longstanding tradition into a modern setting.
