Anton's Dumplings

Anton Yelyashkevich, the young chef-owner of this popular West Village truck moves to Brooklyn, crafting the same small Russian dumplings known as pelmeni. His version boasts sturdy but tender skins that may come stuffed with a juicy mix of ground pork, beef and onions (Siberian), chicken or smooth mashed potatoes. All get a brief griddle post-boiling, plus liberal squirts of sour cream and a shower of dill and chives. Plus, you get a free snappy pickle with each order.
