Off Topic: The best perogies this side of the Ukraine are found in Bomanville

I can't remember who tipped us off (Kary, I believe) but apparently she's onto something in regards to Norm's Deli.

Perogie Paradise Found
March 1st, 2010 Author: Deb Rankine

For me, the culinary litmus test to determine the world’s best perogie is to eat them naked. No, silly. Not me in my birthday suit. I mean the perogie, sans nutty brown butter, mounds of caramelized onions, crispy fried pork belly and full fat sour cream.

Perogie “neat,” if you will.

So last Thursday, when cooking school coordinator and friend, Julia Mason, claimed that the world’s best perogie were found in her own home town, what could I do but challenge her?

PS: I'm a huge foodie so I won't apologize for these off topic posts. We all gots to eat.

    And that's okay! It doesn't have to all train all the time. Who cares what the title of your site says! It's yours! Do what you want, girl!

    I have been to Norm's a few times years ago for lunch, as I remember the sandwiches are great. Haven't tried the perogies, I think a road trip is in order.

    Love the non train stuff, keep it coming.

    Hi Taras,
    Most of the people who read the site live out near me - Durham Region. It would make no sense for those who live this way to travel to Toronto's west-end to get perogies when the world's best are actually in Bomanville. How about coming out for a ride?
