According to About.com<\/a>, the people of Pittsburg eat 11 times the pierogies of any other city in the nation and pierogi fillings range from traditional potato and cheese to sweet prune. \u00a0Helen makes the traditional potato and cheese. Because of our 20+ year friendship with Art and his wife, Karen, we are one of the privileged few who are invited to dinner to savor one of these delicious and comforting Polish delicacies.
