Potato Pierogi with kielbasa, caramelized onions, and sour cream

This year’s lineup is as indulgent as it is diverse, blending savory comfort food with unique twists and sweet, sippable treats:

  • Potato Pierogi with Kielbasa, Caramelized Onions, and Sour Cream
    A hearty, Eastern European-inspired dish that pairs pillowy pierogi with smoky sausage and a rich, tangy topping.

    Crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, this vegetarian-friendly option packs a flavor punch with its sweet-and-savory dipping sauce.
  • Frozen S’more (Non-Alcoholic)
    Chocolate milkshake fans will rejoice with this decadent drink, mixed with marshmallow syrup, topped with mini marshmallows, and finished with a graham cracker for that classic campfire touch.
  • Irish Milk Shake
    A grown-up indulgence blending Guinness Stout, Baileys Irish Cream, and vanilla ice cream for a boozy, creamy treat.
