Here in Pittsburgh, we don't have Weenie races at the baseball game, we have Pierogie races. No joke (wiki). If you weren't aware, once a year our pierogies race against your sausages. Our pierogies are lean, mean, trim, and are going to kick your Brew-Crew sausages' butts this year.

Unfortunately for the Pirates, the Pierogie Race is more entertaining than the baseball game.

So can you find Pierogie's any where other than PA?

Nothing better than a Yocco hot dog and some pierogies when I'm in the Allentown PA area!

I don't think I've seen them anywhere else in the country though - maybe I need to look harder!

I do not believe so. Pierogies are definitely "a 'Burgh thing" and it's becoming more and more clear that other parts of the country have never even heard of them. It's a Hunky kind of town, and many of us were born and raised on Hunky kind of food - stuffed peppers, stuffed cabbage (a.k.a. "golomki"), and haluski (egg noodles and cabbage). It's making my arteries constrict just thinking about it.

Drive though any small-town suburb of Pittsburgh and you'll find fifteen orthodox churches selling hand-made pierogies. Mrs. T's doesn't even come close to these things.

Before posting this, I Google'd the term "haluski" to make sure I spelled it right. The first URL that was listed as a hit was "pittsburgh.about.com".

Let's not forget IC light (n'at). And also Isaly's Chip-chopped ham. I miss my pittsburgh food...oh yeah, and those (world famous?) primanti brother's samiches.

Mmmmm Now I'm hungry and I don't even know what a Pierogie is!

To Brian Iwaskewycz: I would like to warn you about being so sure of your team's food-on-legs racers. The Brewers' Sausage racers have added a new sausage. A Chorizo. Look out he might be a ringer (Personally I still always cheer for Hot Dog.)



Thanks Sean, I am proud because I know how hard I trained for it (103.5 miles), and how far I could run when I started training (1 mile). I never was a runner, but I took up running after ACL surgery.

It just blows my mind to see people pass me who appear to be in worse shape than I am. I guess this running thing is harder than it appears!

This year I only got passed by 6 people pushing strollers, and none of them were pushing twins. That is down from 10 last year! It's good to have goals!

I can get Iron City down here, although I'm sure it's the same as Yuengling - tastes better the closer you are to where it's made.

I've seen people use the aluminum bottles for tuned pipes on model airplane 2-strokes

kristina: have you seen the nike+ipod thing? turns running into a video game!

I am the one on the right with the bead in my goatee.

My yearly trip across NC on a bike. Picture is with a good friend from Asheville. That 1 week a year without the wife and kid when I can drink beer, ride my bike and turn the world off.

That ride must be nice...right until you get to the mountains
