Have you ever eaten a bowl of cereal at 3 o'clock in the morning? Have you ever traveled many miles to get your favorite milkshake? Have you ever ordered cookies from a small bakery half way across the world? Have you ever driven an hour and a half to get your favorite chinese food? Have you ever bought an extra fridge to store the most delicious homemade baklava in order to have it when the craving strikes? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are in the club.

Kielbasa Heaven
What would make a self proclaimed foodie like myself get up at 5:30 AM on a winter day & drive 115 miles to a coal region town in central Pennsylvania. Kielbasa of course! I mean real kielbasa, made with three generations of love & care. Hand crafted & incredibly delicious. Kowaloneks Kielbasa shop in Shenandoah is just that place. Mark is the third generation master sausage maker who has blended technology with the old world family recipes to develop products that warm the soul. The attention to old world traditions is what makes their products unique, true & wonderful. Whether you choose the fresh, smoked or one of their specialty products you will see why foodies like myself are willing to drive two hours to get a fix! http://www.kielbasy.net/ is a must visit site for true foodies. Having sampled Kielbasa in Port Richmond and Trenton I still am willing to make the drive to Shenandoah for my stash of heavenly meat. It is a true joy to have so many smiling faces willing to assist you and answer any questions as well as the finishing touch of them bringing your order to the car. As a side note note I must applaud the other foodies who so truly appreciate my passion. The man next to me in line just drove three hours from Baltimore.
