Polish pierogi are filled dumplings, half-moons of soft dough wrapped around potato, cabbage, cheese or meat, boiled then optionally pan-fried in butter.
Polish immigrants arrived in Detroit in the 1880s, settling Hamtramck around the Dodge Main auto plant. Polish Village Cafe on Yemans Street has served pierogi since 1975; Srodek's Quality Sausage on Joseph Campau has cured kielbasa and folded pierogi by hand since 1957. Pierogi run by the dozen at Hamtramck Labor Day Festival and at New Palace Bakery. The canonical Detroit pierogi is potato-cheddar; cabbage and meat varieties round the menu.
