Polish Countryside Kitchen’s Pork Cutlet
Tastemaker
By Anna Faller | Sept. 13, 2025
With comfort food season coming in hot, find us filling our plates (and our bellies) with the Pork Cutlet Dinner ($24) at Polish Countryside Kitchen in Cedar. Inspired by classic Polish fare, this behemoth features tender Mangalitsa ham—a heritage breed known for its flavor and marbling—responsibly raised from farrow to finish at the food truck’s sister business, Polish Heritage Farm. Each steak is dusted in flour, panko, and a secret blend of spices before hitting the fryer in Mangalitsa pork lard for the perfect crisp and golden crust. Served over seared red cabbage or mashed potatoes with scratch-made mushroom gravy, this rich and herby plate is sure to keep you warm on any of these early fall days. Oh, and keep your eyes peeled for BLT Fest at the truck at the end of September! Get piggy with it at 8994 S. Kasson St. in Cedar. polishheritagefarm.com
