WOONSOCKET – I don’t always eat pierogi, but when I do, I eat 50. That’s the tagline for this year’s three-day, all-you-can-eat pierogi extravaganza at Krakow Deli and Smokehouse, 855 Social St., Woonsocket.
Brother and sister owners Krystian Przybylko and Marta Samek arę expanding the popular summertime event, making it three days instead of two for the first time this year. Hours are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday, July 31, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday, August. 1, and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday, August. 2.
“Hopefully everyone is going to show up,” said Samek, laughing as she took a breath during busy pierogi-making efforts in the kitchen Thursday afternoon.
The price per person is $12.50 plus tax, and includes unlimited eating of the Polish dish plus sautéed onions and dirty sour cream. Customers may eat in the new outdoor seating area.
Samek explained how the process has gotten easier with time. She said they originally did everything by hand, then later got a rolling machine, which felt almost like a vacation, and now have a machine that makes them as they push the ingredients through.
