Pittsburgh Perogies: Cooking with Evgeni Malkin

It's Game 7 go time, kiddies -- let's hope Pens center Evgeni Malkin has sufficiently carb-loaded for tonight's Stanley Cup final.

And let's hope he didn't do so with homemade pierogies.

The Russian was featured on Pens TV a few months ago whipping up some of his homestyle monstrosities. Check out his culinary adventure below.

Apparently Russian pierogies are different than the Ukrainian "perogies" my family is oh-so-fond of: His were thick and breaddy, baked in the oven and downright awful looking while the Ukie version I'm familliar with are D-shaped, doughy little dumplings that are boiled, then fried with onions, butter (and sometimes bacon) and served with sour cream.

Oh, and my version is delicious.

I think I should challenge him and his missus to a pierogy-perogy-off.
