Stuffed is all about pierogies, all kinds of pierogies and many pierogies you likely will not see anywhere else. While traditional and mushroom pierogies are on the menu, other surprise flavors dominate: blueberry, bacon-cheddar, jalapeño, buffalo, smoked salmon, goat cheese-spinach and llapingacho, a pierogi of Ecuador that is actually more fritter than pierogi. Makes you want to run right over and devour a few, doesn't it?

The Babushka Russian Deli and Restaurant name says it all. While Babushka is a source for imported and locally prepared Russian foods and delicacies, other Eastern European dishes are evident as well. A family-owned and operated "fixture" in Walnut Creek for close to 20 years, Babushka is a renowned location for not only its locally made Russian dishes, but also for its large array of imported products. Variations on pierogies can be found here, as soft, filled dumplings are prevalent around Eastern Europe, and even Italian ravioli has a lot in common with these ubiquitous, pillow-y morsels. Try the piroshki in a choice of chicken, beef, pork, potato or cabbage; the pelmeni in chicken, pork or beef; or vareniki, the Ukranian variation on these dumpling tidbits stuffed with mushroom, farmer's cheese or potato. They are all delicious.
