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!

We are kicking off our TENTH year in service with a Polish sausage of the month featuring friends we love, respect and appreciate. We would’ve be where we are today without the help and friendship that from has provided over the years. Dude was in the trenches with us breaking up rice after service almost every night the first year. It’s only right we inaugurate this special with his pineapple kimchi, bulgogi mustard on fresh baked brioche, with a lot of scallions. Served with a side of fries, this beauty’s flavor lasts!
