It was a family decision to create Taste of Ukraine to share the rich Ukrainian heritage that we grew up with and learned to nurture and love. Food is a central component of the Ukrainian experience. Ukrainian hospitality revolves around good food and plenty of it. Our doors of hospitality officially opened October 15, 2004.
Since childhood we have known that at the heart of all entertaining was what ‘mama’ prepared in the kitchen. We have not one ‘mama’ in our kitchen at Taste of Ukraine but an entire team of proud surrogate ‘mamas’ who pledge to bring to your table the most authentic, fresh and tasty Ukrainian dishes possible.
George (a.k.a. Yuriy) and Orysia ( a.k.a. Odarka) and son Andriy, daughter Natalka are at the heart of Taste of Ukraine and its success. Every item of decor and every item on the menu has been carefully planned out, discussed and approved by the foursome. The entire restaurant has been a family project from the start and every member of the family holds a key role in the mechanics of the daily operation. Andriy is no longer the only ‘fulltime guy’ as George and Orysia have finally retired from teaching. Natalka has also completed her university studies and has chosen to join the family at the Taste of Ukraine on a full time basis. There is seldom an evening when you will not see them all at the restaurant. Orysia makes the borsch and bakes the walnut tortes, Andriy is usually tending the bar, Natalka is serving tables and George is master “Mr. Fix-It”and creator of Yuri’s favorite cherry ribs. This restaurant is more than a business for the Wozniaks. It is a family labor of love—a dream come true.
We hope that Taste of Ukraine makes every person of Ukrainian heritage proud to bring guests to dine here. We hope that for anyone whose first experience with Ukrainian cuisine is Taste of Ukraine that it is a positive and memorable event.
