Evadeans joins the Paczki fun to celebrate fat on Tuesday

Prepare your stomach, but there is a new Paczki player in the city.

The bakery and the café of Evadean brought the fat pastries to Wilmette on Tuesday after hundreds when the big day on Tuesday, March 5th, approaches.

In his first year 2024, the Wilmette Restaurant missed the Fat Tuesday, also known as Mardi Gras, which celebrates enjoyment shortly before Lent. Paczki is a Polish donut – often with a sweet filling such as cream, pudding or fruit – that has become too synonymous for the occasion.

The co-owner and Baker Jordana Vanbergen from Evadean continues the Paczki tribe tree of her family. Vanbergen's father, Jory Downer, owns Bennison's bakery, one of the best Paczki producers of Chicagoland and even organizes a Paczki-Ess competition every year.

Evadean's has many Bennison recipes, but thanks to Vanbergen there are also many original flavors. The bakery offers classics such as Strawberry Cream and banana cream Paczki as well as Vanbergens own Black Forest, cookies and cream as well as caramel apple.

Vanbergen fills Paczki with fresh strawberries to prepare for the first fat Tuesday from Evadean.

Evadean's has a limited availability of Paczkis Daily and takes Pre -orders for fat Tuesday By Monday, March 4, Vanbergen said that on Tuesday, March 5, a limited amount of Paczki will also be available, and she expects the business to deserve about 600 or more – including a special pistachios, Rose Paczki on Tuesday. Royal cakes in New Orleans style are also available.

While Vanbergen grew up with baked goods, including Paczki, she said that the popularity of the delicacy has recently recently increased.

“It seems that it has become very, very big in the past 10 years,” she said. “We did it when I grew up, but it has really become that it has been on the north coast in the past 10 years.”

So far, the Strawberry Cream (Vanbergen's favorite), Black Forest and Books and Cream versions have been the most popular.
