The canonical version and where to order it.
The kielbasa plate at a Northeast Polish deli runs simple: smoked sausage made that morning, sauerkraut, horseradish-mustard, dark rye and a pickled beet. Heavy, salty, faintly smoky.
Northeast Minneapolis was the city's Polish quarter from the 1880s onward; the Holy Cross church on University Avenue NE still holds Polish-language mass. Kramarczuk's East European Deli opened on Hennepin Avenue NE in 1954 as a smoked-sausage shop and has run a cafeteria-style counter behind the butcher case ever since, with the same family at the helm across three generations from founders Wasyl and Anna through son Orest to grandson Nick. The kielbasa plate has anchored the menu for 70 years and is the closest thing Northeast has to a community dish; the deli won the James Beard America's Classics award in 2013.
