Our next Polish of the month comes in from chef from who has been long time friends with us and is always down to lend a helping hand in anything we do for the community. We strive to be like Perilla when we grow up one day. They also have Wiener Wars every Monday in the summer on the Perilla patio so we know he’s all in for dressing up a Polish: a ripper Polish (deep fried), dunked in a gochujang glaze, topped with sour kimchi, mustard, perilla and a lot of scallions in our fresh baked brioche bun. It’s great remix and can’t wait to serve it all month!
