Jozsef Bancsi was born in Budapest, Hungary into a restaurateur’s family. His mother and father, Erzsebet and Janos, owned and operated Csarda, a two dining room restaurant on Balycsi Zilinski Ut, in Budapest. His family immigrated to the United States in 1957, his father brought with him the cookbooks and recipes from his restaurant, which Jozsef guards and cherishes to this day.
In 2008, on a whim, Joe entered his family’s recipe in the Cleveland Paprikash Cook-Off, winning by a landslide. After two years of experimentation, he’s developed a formula and a manufacturing process which recreated his award-winning paprikash. Head on over to his site and pick up a jar – or a case!
