"The first year I bought the business we made a thousand paczki, and today we're going to make 12,000," he said. A thousand paczki were more than enough eight years ago.

... which can be a requisite nowadays to draw younger customers. In a previous interview with the Tribune , Stanton said that millennials looked for a “food experience,” but Swedish Bakery was merely “humdrum.” It was time to close, he said, as the family doesn’t have a younger member to take over the business. The building is up for sale. The bakery limited available quantities in its final days. Some customers anticipated the rush and pre-ordered so they could skip the line and just pickup their food. However, if they wanted more than that pre-order, they needed to take a number for additional items. There was no circumventing the line. Some customers said they’ll throw a few goods into the freezer for safe keeping, as they’ll last for about five months when frozen. Ashok Selvam.

Paczki Tradition As Strong As Ever In Little Poland

... flocked to Roly Poly Bakery on Main Street and Kasia Bakery on Broad Street Thursday morning to get their fill of warm, sweet pastries known as paczki. “My favorite is the prune, but I bought a bunch of different kinds,” said John Torres, who said he visits Little Poland every few months to pick up fresh pastries. Paczki are essentially Polish doughnuts, often served and enjoyed warm and right out of the oven. Paczki are made with yeast and need to rise for about three hours before they are deep-fried and filled with a variety of puddings or fruit.

Elizabeth Belsano said her cousin was one of those people who waited for the paczki. “He waited for like a half-hour for these, so I can’t wait to try them,” Belsano said while waiting in line herself.

Or sore knees and aching ankles: Remember when the girls used to laugh at the babushkas who said they could predict rainstorms with their throbbing joints. And the neighborhood. That’s different, too, two blocks west of the northern tip of Dearborn on Warren Avenue, with some storefronts empty and others with their signs in Arabic.
