Philly’s culinary scene is about to get a delightful dose of Polish tradition as Little Walter’s gears up to celebrate National Pierogi Day on Tuesday, October 8. Their highly anticipated eight-course pierogi-tasting dinner, a truly exclusive event, is already sold out. But fear not. Pierogi enthusiasts still have a golden opportunity to partake in the festivities.
Originally planned as a globally inspired and innovative culinary journey, the eight-course tasting was set to spotlight various house-made pierogi, ranging from savory Duck Carnitas to sweet Honeycrisp Apple Pie. Some of the mouthwatering highlights included the Pierogi Ruskie Sourdough, featuring potato and caramelized onion with creamy farmers cheese; the Hen of the Woods Pierogi with black garlic aioli and burgundy truffle; the Duck Carnitas Pierogi showcasing duck kiełbasa, smoked squash, and mole; the Lobster Pierogi accompanied by grilled scallop, roe hollandaise, and sorrel; and the Honeycrisp Apple Pie Pierogi served with Swiss chard Polish water ice and black walnut streusel.
However, if you missed securing a reservation for this sold-out event, don’t despair. Little Walter’s is extending the National Pierogi Day celebrations with a generous giveaway. On the morning of October 8 at 8 a.m., the first 100 people in line at Little Walter’s will each receive a complimentary three-piece serving of their signature Pierogi Ruskie for takeaway. This traditional pierogi is crafted daily with farmer’s cheese, potato, caramelized onion, and sour cream—a comforting classic embodying Polish cuisine’s heart.
