You might have to settle for Middle Eastern Paczki.

Let's be honest. It's really just an excuse to take a day or two off work and get bombed at Suzy's.

Do you mean McGraw? If not I am confused.

**CassTechGrad** · February-10-13, 09:51 AM

Is this the world's largest paczki? The Pumpernick & Pastry bakery did not say how much it weighed but it was as big as would fit in the deep fryer.

I had these last year. They didn't taste that good.

Yes, yes, the Polish equivalent of St. Patrick's Day around here.

Which is why I have little interest in setting foot in Hamtramck Tuesday. It's become a drunkfest, of which I am not participating. I'll stop elsewhere and get my caloric intake quadrupled for the day, thanks.

**Lostlegumes** · February-11-13, 02:25 PM

Fat Tuesday is so fat [[cue Johnny Carson), that they're already lined up outside some of the bakeries TODAY.

**Wheels** · February-11-13, 02:47 PM

Heritage Bakery at 5 mi and Newbourgh in Livonia are as good as any!

Suzy's. Where alcoholics go to die.

More like the Polish version of Mardi Gras.

**Bobl** · February-11-13, 07:15 PM

Enjoy your paczki, everyone. I think I'll get my refined sugar fix with a big hunk of chocolate this year.

**mtm49269** · February-12-13, 07:16 AM

Heritage is the BEST! I was going to post that yesterday but didn't want to until I got mine. Even @ 5:30 this morning, the line was out the door. They're INCREDIBLY fresh [[unlike Hamtramck where they start making them days in advance) and SO loaded with jelly that I have to warn folks so they don't wear it!
SMACZNE!!

Where is Heritage? Thanx.

**mtm49269** · February-12-13, 08:11 AM

Heritage is @ 5 Mile & Newburg, as Wheels mentioned above: http://www.heritage-bakery.com/paczki. They also make WONDERFUL cakes, pasties [[1/2 pie pan!), quiche, and breads. I've entered them in Channel 4's "Vote for the Best" every year.

Sorry, missed the original post. Sounds GREAT, but a bit too far to travel. I'll check it out next time I'm in the 'hood.

**artds** · February-12-13, 09:17 AM

Paczki day is such bullshit. Why is it so hard to just add them to the menu for a day? There's no valid reason every other item should be taken OFF the menu just because its Paczki day. Its so irritating when I walk into the donut shop, order my usual, only to be told that I can't have it because its f-ing Paczki day. If they were that good, then they wouldn't be celebrated just one day a year.
