Saturday, October 8th was a great day for the Kielbasa crowd in Toledo. The 2nd Kielbasa Cook Off was held at the Donnely Family Neighborhood Center at Blessed Sacrament Church. Twelve amateur kielbasa makers vied for the coveted title of “Kielbasa King”. There was no shortage of kielbasa and everyone was able to purchase kielbasa samples along with other great Polish food like kapusta, mizeria, placek and Cruchinki. After sampling the kielbasa, the votes were cast and the people of Toledo have spoken! The new kielbasa king is Shawn Zaborski’s Polish Village Kielbasa. Second place winner is the Smith Family Kielbasa and third place winner is Domanski Klassic Kielbasa. Congratulations to the new Kielbasa King and all of the contestants. The votes were very close this year which means all of the contestants offered great tasting kielbasa. We are planning next year’s Cook Off already so all of you amateur kielbasa makers in the Toledo and Northwest Ohio and Michigan, make plans to compete in next year’s cook off. You never know who will be the next kielbasa king. It could be you.
