Chow down at the Russian Food Festival

This year’s menu includes traditional entrées such as beef stroganoff and shashlik (grilled pork kebabs) with rice. Side dishes include assorted piroshkis (pictured), stuffed peppers, Russian crepes and chebureki, deep-fried dumplings filled with meat or seasoned potatoes. And, of course, there will be veggie borscht (beet soup), alongside spicy carrot salad, cabbage salad, Russian-style marinated mushrooms and more. Take care of your sweet tooth with desserts such as Napoleon cake, flaky baklava, honey cake and other baked goodies. Wash everything down with a cold bottle of Baltika beer. Live Russian music is slated for both days.
