Passionate About Pel’meni

by Sam Burlage

Paul’s twist to the traditional Russian dish is what we refer to as the “works” here in Madison. The “works” consists of butter, curry, chili sauce cut with vinegar, and cilantro. The addicting mixture works perfectly to compliment the dumplings, tangy, spicy and cooled off with a dip into that side of sour cream.

Paul’s isn’t just a late-night spot or a comforting winter meal, but a little taste of Russia in Madison. Loved by locals and students alike, you are going to want to check out Paul’s Pel’meni next time you are downtown for a hearty and delicious traditional Russian dish.
