    / February 6, 2011 / Leave a comment
    Another random Google search of Sauerkraut has resulted in another little treasure.  The man above is Sandor Katz.  Sandor is a professional expert on Fermentation who has written three books, conducted countless interviews, and even recorded one of his workshops for sale (that’s the cover above).  His website is www.wildfermentation.com...

    I know that I have, once before, used a picture of a meal at Hofbrauhaus on the Southside to open up a Sauerkraut Sunday, but this is a NEW TYPE OF KRAUT.  When I was there last Friday one of my friends was served, “Red Apple Kraut”.  Now I didn’t...

    Want to know where you can buy some sauerkraut down on the strip?  I noticed this over at Strip District Meats.   If it’s as good as their fillets, I recommend it. On to the real purpose of Sauerkraut Sundays… As I go through the week, I use Twitter to send out...

    I’ve been doing these Sauerkraut Sundays for well over a year now, and I don’t think I’ve ever had such a perfect chance to discuss Twitter, cabbage and Pittsburgh at the same time!  It’s come to my attention that PolishPierogi.com, a Pittsburgh owned and operated producer of the goodies we...
  5. Sauerkraut Sunday: The Fry it Before it Spoils Edition

    / January 9, 2011 / Leave a comment
    So I got started wondering, suppose you want to do something with the cabbage before it spoils, what kind of options are out there?  Fortunately, my dream woman, Rachel Ray has an idea, Kale (apparently another word for cabbage) Gratin.  So if you don’t have a few weeks to wait,...
  6. Sauerkraut Sunday: New Years Edition

    / January 3, 2011 / Leave a comment
    The Reading Eagle has the story this morning of St. Paul’s United Church of Christ in Robesonia (one assumes that’s near Reading).  The church provides the (apparently customary) New Year’s Day dish of pork and Sauerkraut.  Apparently the debate this year was on whether the Sauerkraut should be mixed with...

    After two years of hard work, I have finally made it back here to Penn State for my victory lap (the last week of my MBA program).  This got me to thinking, does Penn State have anything to do with Sauerkraut.  Google says…  Turns out Penn State has a standard...
  9. Sauerkraut Sunday: Waynesville Sauerkraut Festival

    Posted by Burgher Jon
    / December 5, 2010 / Leave a comment
    I have mentioned Sauerkraut festivals during Sauerkraut Sundays, but I think I may have found one that takes the kraut.  The Waynesville festival (held on the second full weekend in October only 4 hours from here) seems to be a doozy.  The front page of the website (www.sauerkrautfestival.com) proclaims, “our...
  10. Sauerkraut Sunday: Moving to the Cabbage

    Posted by Burgher Jon
    / November 29, 2010 / Leave a comment
    Sauerkraut is plentiful in the Burgh, found on any hot dog or with kielbasa at many restaurants.  As I am preparing to leave Charlotte, I thought I’d see about finding sauerkraut in the restaurants of my favorite non-Pittsburgh city.  As it turns out, there are not a lot of options. ...
