Porubsky's Grocery

"Porubsky's pickles are incendiary. They are served as a garnish for sandwiches or chili, and they are available by the pint and quart, to go."
Michael Stern






"Charlie Porubsky shows off the pot in which he makes his famous chili."
Michael Stern



"Although this certainly doesn't look like a destination restaurant, Kansas chili lovers know that this is the place!"
Cliff Strutz



"A neon sign inside Porubsky's descibes a perfect Topeka dinner."
Michael Stern



"A flood in the early 1950s cut off easy access to Porubsky's in the 'Little Russia' neighborhood of Topeka. There's not a lot else around here to attract visitors, but Porubsky's chili is a beacon."
