National Pierogi Day, celebrated on October 8th, is the perfect time to honor those delightful dough pockets of joy that can turn any ordinary day into a carb-fueled festival of happiness. For those in the know, like our Bold Business CEO Ed Kopko, who’s probably got pierogi-making in his DNA thanks to a family recipe passed down from at least two grandmas, this day is basically a national holiday. For the rest of us, it’s a fantastic excuse to embrace the world of pierogi in all its dumpling-shaped glory.
