TOPEKA -- "Transcendent Deli" follows Matt Porubsky on his journey to discover the history and appeal of the business his grandparents began over sixty years ago. Through the years, CW Porubsky’s Deli and Tavern has survived fires and floods, has been recognized locally and nationally as a culinary legend and has become a second home to thousands of its patrons with its atmosphere and aromas.

Matt’s search leads hims to tight-lipped family members, gossiping great-aunts and hot pickle tastings on the streets of Topeka to reveal the greatness that began in a little red shack across the tracks in “Little Russia.” (You say that ROOSH-ya.)

"Transcendent Deli" airs on WIBW-TV Friday night at 9:00, with an encore presentation New Year's Day at 11am.
