"A newer Elston Avenue spot has joined the Bite Club fundraiser with a unique offering of beef birria pierogi available through April as part of a collaboration with a local taqueria, donating $1 from each sale to the Irving Park Community Food Pantry." - Ashok Selvam
"In Irving Park, Wurst Behavior is a new sausage spot and beer garden from the husband-and-wife duo behind Pierogi Kitchen and BBQ joints Ella’s and Earl’s. Expect plenty of kielbasas topped with things like giardiniera or caramelized onions, brats, and other encased meats." - john ringor, veda kilaru, nick allen
"Put Wurst Behavior in Irving Park on your “going outside” list when winter starts killing off other plans, because the kimchi dog and the sausage that tastes like an italian beef are worth the hassle of a brisk commute. Even without the overflowing toppings, these homemade brats, sausages, and dogs are smoky, tightly compact, and served on toasted buns that hold everything together. Most of the meats cost $10, so Wurst Behavior is ideal for a small group meal that features lots of meticulous cutting. Or, a sausage trip that’s as comforting as having a CTA platform heat lamp all to yourself." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru, nick allen, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, nick allen, nick allen, nick allen, john ringor, nick allen, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor,
"Along with Pierogi Kitchen (1856 W. North Avenue), these Polish American spots from spouses Gosia Pieniazek and Artur Wnorowski are jumping right into the spirit of the season with paczki filled with rose marmalade and candied orange peel, and a decadent Dubai chocolate paczki topped with pistachios. Keep an eye out for the sugary treats starting March 1 to 9. Available by walk-in only at both locations." - Lisa Shames
"For excellent mushroom truffle brats, italian beef sausages, and kimchi dogs, head to Wurst Behavior in Irving Park. You can taste all of the advertised fillings in their housemade, massive encased meats. Even without their overflowing toppings, these meats are smoky, tightly compact, and served on large toasted buns that hold strong after multiple bites. And since most everything costs $10 or less, this place is ideal for a small group meal featuring lots of meticulous cutting. Or a solo sausage trip that’s heavy on comfort and light on the wallet." - john ringor, veda kilaru, nick allen
