Rudy's Strudel also announced this year's special flavor, the "Parma Cristo," which is described as a "mid-century classic Monte Cristo Sandwich with our very own Rudy's style Paczki twist."

The "Paczki Party" will be a collaboration with several other local vendors, including Current Year Records, Porco Lounge, and Tiki Room, Brick and Barrel, the Tea Lab, Sweet Moses, and Dyngus Day Cleveland.
