Hungarian?

Does anyone know where I might find Hungarian food around the metro? My perusal of the dining guide has proven no help.

Thanks.

I wish I could tell you of a place...but no luck....I too miss Hungraian food.

No, sadly. Years ago there was a nice Hungarian spot out in LaGrange, but the Hungarian owners retired and moved to Florida.

If Eastern European comes close enough to suit, there are a number of little Bosnian places around, but I understand it's not the same.

As Robin said its not the same, but you may want to check out Bosna Mak just off Bardstown rd in Buechel? Its also a great place for gyos.

Closest I am aware of would be in Chicago. Check out metromix.com

Thanks for the suggestions. A relative was married to the son of first generation Hungarian immigrants for a while so holiday meal contributions were always interesting. I honestly don't remember the names of most dishes. I just know they were good.

I'll check out the Bosnian options and ponder whether I have a good enough excuse for another Eastern Europe excursion.

Ah, the memories.

Classic Hungarian cuisine is unapologetically bad for your health and just as savory to the taste buds. One makes sauce from sour cream and paprika and slathers it on everything from goulash on the plate to chicken, fries up monstrous schnitzels, wolfs down cold sour cherry soup, nibbles on tasty mild peppers, or enjoys the fantastic hard salami hanging seductively behind the meat counter.

Plenty of red wine, average beer, lots of fruit brandies.

I used to cook Hungarian at home, far less so now owing to D's vegeterian proclivities. Maybe again soon.

Robert:

This is what happens when small Mom & Pop places are forced out by your beloved chains. With chains you eat what the masses eat, and I guess the masses didn't like Hungarian.

ironic isn't it?

Nermana's was Hungarian as well as Bosnian, right? I miss that place...

Not to the best of my knowledge. The family that owned and operated it came here straight from Sarajevo.

However, "guljas" is commonplace on Bosnian tables, which takes me back to my original suggestion that while Bosnian is certainly <i>not</i> Magyar, these hearty Eastern European cuisines do have some commonalities.

Not really Ron...If you have a good product people will come back...Lets see the places to eat in Downtown La Grange seem to be doing good as is Steve O's in Buckner...Ron what you say is just the excuse that you always hear....Bottom line if the food is good the people will come back....

Ok....just when I think of cabbage rolls I think Hungarian for some reason. Then again. Irish Rover has their own take on them too.

Also there are places closer to us then Chicago....Ron I am surprized that you did not mention these places since you run the Cincinnnatti Food Forum.....They are not the greatest but they are not bad....Lenhardts at 151 W McMillan Street...it is a German Hungarian place and also Cristofs has some good Hungarian dishes also they are at 16 Village Sq....Hope this helps you out....

Now I really want some goulash.

Sometimes....that is not enough!!
