Gering Bakery

"Here is a food that dates back to the Volga Germans who settled on the American plains over a century ago. They brought with them their recipes for a baked yeast-dough bread pocket filled with beef, cabbage or sauerkraut, and onions. It is generally known as a bierock or runzie, but here at Gering Bakery it is a cabbage burger."

"I was so busy admiring the handsome facade of this old small-town bakery that I didn't notice the sign in the window for cabbage burgers (see photo below)."
Michael Stern



"It's good to know what the local specialties are before you visit a strange place. Knowing that Nebraska is home of the Runza and the bierock helped us guess (correctly) that 'cabbage burger' was a name for the same thing."

"If you like peanut butter and have a serious sweet tooth, the frosting on Gering Bakery's peanut butter pretzel will send you into orbit."
