Today is Fat Tuesday and while much of the country will be looking for a baby in a cake, we here in Western New York will be downing delicious Polish donuts called Paczki. But are you saying it right?
The hot spot tomorrow for Fat Tuesday will be at the Broadway Market. You can grab you get your pączki while enjoying some live entertainment.
Celebrate Fat Tuesday and Pączki Day at the Broadway Market on Tuesday, March 5, 2019.
The market...
They're delicious.
They're fattening.
They're a Lenten tradition and we LOVE them.
But what's the price to pay, calorically-speaking?
The typical paczki can run anywhere from 500 to 1,000 calories, depending on the recipe. We did a little math for you to figure out just how many repetitions of certain exercises you'd have to do to burn one off.
...
Happy Mardi Gras!
Happy Fat Tuesday!
HAPPY PACZKI DAY, BUFFALO!!!!!
Paula's Donuts made a little visit to the Mix 96 studios with a 578-lb box of paczki's and other donuts. Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating, but if you've ever lifted a box of Paula's, you know they're weighty suckers!

No one ever said he was a gentleman. My buddy Justin Tyme, who's been sitting in studio with me for a couple days and covering local news stories, just couldn't wait for Pumpernick 'N Pastry to get here with fresh paczki, so he dove right in to the ones that were in my office overnight.
Polish or not, if you're a Buffalonian, you know Paczki Day. It's almost as exciting as Dyngus Day. But since that's a couple months away, today, we're gettin' down with the donut!
