C-RS Table - Rollin’ Around the ‘Burgh with Nutz N’at

On Saturday, October 26, the age-old question on the lips of many families and just about every baker will finally be answered: “Who makes the best nut roll?” The Pittsburgh Folk Festival will kick off its new initiative, “Our Roots,” with a fun bake-off called Rollin’ Around the ‘Burgh with Nutz N’at. It’s the perfect opportunity to roll out grandma’s traditional recipe, but then again, some contestants may put a spin on tradition to create a tasty treat that is truly original.

The site for this long-awaited competition is our Cultural Center at 915 Dickson Street, Munhall, PA 15120, and the C-RS will be participating. Ethnic music, an international holiday market, multi-cultural demonstrations and – best of all – an around-the-world bake sale are featured in a mini-festival atmosphere. Admission is FREE!

Rollin’ Around the ‘Burgh with Nutz N’at is open to EVERYONE – Juniors under 15 and Seniors 16 through adult. Entries must contain nuts in a rolled pastry dough, and will be judged on overall flavor, filling, creativity and how the recipe and personal story bring to life a family value, tradition, memory, etc. Judging will take place between 1 and 2 p.m.

If you are into baking, learning about other cultures, or just enjoy eating delicious pastries, you will want to be available on October 26 from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. to check out a one of a kind competition that will finally settle the debate of who’s nut roll is the BEST!
