The Ultimate Golumpki Throwdown

On November 12th, 2011, six entries were submitted in a taste testing to determine the best Golumpki (Polish stuffed cabbage for the uninitiated) in our extended family. Thanks to the golumpki chefs, side dish chefs, dessert makers and all of the tasters & judges for contributing to the roaring good time. We don't usually need much of an excuse to have a party and the Golumpki Throwdown was a perfect platform for it. Thanks to the MacNichols, Joan & Joe, who did a great job hosting the event.
