PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Today is Fat Tuesday, the last day before Ash Wednesday — but for many, it’s paczki day!
KDKA’s Megan Shinn was live inside Party Cake Shop along Brookline Boulevard as they opened their doors for what’s expected to be a busy day.
Customers were lined up when the doors opened at 6 a.m. and Party Cake Shop co-owner Zach Zebrowski told KDKA they expect to make at least 300 dozen paczki today as part of the long-standing Polish tradition for Fat Tuesday.
Zebrowski said his crew spent 12 hours working and preparing for the big day, detailing the long process of making and cutting the dough, frying, holing, and filling the paczki before they’re ready to hit the display shelves.
Paczki are round, baseball-sized pastries that are generally sugar-coated or glazed and stuffed with fruit or cream filling.
The word ‘paczki’ means ‘little package’ and co-owner Michelle Zebrowski said she even knows that KDKA-TV anchor David Highfield prefers the raspberry-filled variety!

Insider: Steelers Could Trade George Pickens Due to Issues

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers hit the field to begin training camp at Saint Vincent College, and while most of the headlines revolved around Russell Wilson’s injury and Justin Fields throwing a dime to Van Jefferson for a deep touchdown, there was some drama that hit the field – and the headlines – as well.
Late in practice, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Ray Fittipaldo reported that wide receiver George Pickens shared a heated exchange with wide receivers coach Zach Azzani. The back-and-forth happened when Azzani didn’t like how Pickens handled his assignment on a play. Afterward, Fittipaldo reported that other wide receivers came up to Pickens, but the third-year wideout was “visibly upset.”
Now, the speculation around Pickens grows. With Day 1 of training camp having issues, Fittipaldo believes the Steelers could have a line with Pickens, and it’s up to the wide receiver not to cross it.
“Listen, George is a pretty sharp guy. He’s gotta see the writing on the wall, right? I mean, they got rid of Diontae Johnson because he was a problem. And George Pickens has to know that if he doesn’t turn around his act and act in a more appropriate manner on and off the field this season, that he might be the next guy out the door,” Fittipaldo told 93.7 The Fan. “Or, at the very least, he’s not gonna get a second contract with the Steelers. So, I think George is smart. I think, after today, he probably realizes if he didn’t already know it, he is gonna be coached hard.
“This is a new offensive staff, it’s not gonna be the same. And we’ll see how this goes, but I thought that was a pretty interesting development that it happened today late in practice.”
The Steelers did everything they could to avoid drama this season, moving on from Diontae Johnson and Kenny Pickett due to attitude issues. Pickens dealt with some backlash last season for his efforts on the field and some heated exchanges on the sideline.
While he’s one of the most talented members of the Steelers roster, the team continues to pursue a splash wide receiver trade. Anything can happen, but after the offseason they conducted, it’s hard to imagine they let anyone cause distractions on this team.
