More than paczkis: Blak's Bakery was built on rye

In Windsor, many of us associate Blak's Bakery on Langlois Avenue with the many varieties of paczkis they sell on Shrove/Fat Tuesday.

In reality, this historic bakery was built on much healthier product: rye bread. Today, about a dozen different varieties of rye are offered.

To learn more about their most popular product, I met up with Tony Blak, the co-owner of Blak's Bakery. Tap on the audio player to hear more — including the secret of how their beautiful marble rye is made.
