Embrace our pierogi pride
1. Start with a classic at Sokolowski's University Inn in Tremont where these authentic potato-and-cheese pierogies come swimming in butter and onions — just like grandma used to make. 1201 University Road, Cleveland, 216-771-9236, sokolowskis.com
2. If you've got a taste for the less traditional, try one of Pierogies of Cleveland's 27 varieties of fillings — think taco, sloppy Joes or yam and walnut. 4131 W. Streetsboro Road, Richfield, 330-659-4309, pierogimarket.com
3. Learn how to make them the old-fashioned way at the Western Reserve School of Cooking. Autumn Johnston, owner of the Pierogi Lady business, shares her grandmother's secrets for the perfect dough, filling and technique when the Hudson and downtown culinary kitchens host the class four times a year. 330-696-7709, wrsoc.com
