On this episode of the Hungarian Heritage podcast, I will be speaking with Michael Csabai "Chubboy!" He and his wife Brigitta are the owners of Brigitta’s Hungarian Restaurant in Kilgore, Texas, y’all. Michael shares all about his and Brigitta’s Hungarian heritages, he tells us about all of their family and life experiences both in the US and in Hungary, and how their family journey finally led them to Kilgore, Texas where they now make authentic Hungarian food in their restaurant, Birgitta’s Hungarian Restaurant. Their Hungarian Heritage story is not only exciting, but I know you will especially enjoy Michael’s charisma for storytelling, as you will hear what a great story teller he is in this episode when he recounts all places and experiences that led to his passion for cooking and talking about his Hungarian Heritage to his customers. Make sure to stay tuned until the end, because you will find out how you can get some of their delicious Hungarian food shipped to your home within the continental United States. Before we start this episode, I wanted to give Michael and Brigitta a special shout out, because they had graciously gifted a box of Hungarian Food from their restaurant to the American Hungarian Foundation’s Annual ball as a prize for the raffle table. Thanks for doing that, and your generous donation prize was a big hit! I hope that this episode has left you hungry for some Hungarian food, and like I discussed with Michael in the episode, you can order some delicious Hungarian food delivered to your door from Brigitta’s Hungarian Restaurant, or maybe send it to a friend or loved one. Don’t forget to check the show notes for this episode to find out how you can connect with Michael and Brigitta, and maybe even reserve a table at their restaurant if you’re near Kilgore, Texas.

What 3 Words Describe a Hungarian? Recorded on location for Hungarian Heritage Night at the Somerset Patriots Ball Game 15:00

Sziasztok! Welcome to this episode of the Hungarian Heritage Podcast. This little episode, or Kicsi Pod, kicsi meaning small, is a newer series within our season where we will be discussing smaller topics in between some of our longer interview episodes! We are keeping our Kicsi pod episodes to 15 minutes and under from start to finish. So let’s get started with our Season 2 Episode 12 where I recorded on location at the Somerset Patriots Baseball Game last year for their first annual Hungarian Heritage Night. I asked people to give me three words that describe a Hungarian. Take a listen and see if you agree or disagree with what people said. I think you will be pleasantly surprised to find out how much people admire our Hungarian Heritage culture. Even if we are a little stubborn sometimes! Thanks for listening to this kicsi pod episode of the Hungarian Heritage Podcast. It sure was a fun Hungarian Heritage Night at the Somerset Patriots Ball Game last year! People had such positive ways to describe Hungarians, and I have to say that I think I agreed with all of them! This Saturday, May 18th 2024, the podcast, along with other Hungarian organizations will be back at the Somerset Patriot Game for our second annual Hungarian Heritage Night! You might even get a chance to answer more Hungarian questions and be featured on a future episode. I hope to see you there. Sziasztok!

"You Cannot Forbid the Flower," A Revolutionary Discussion with Author, Elizabeth Lukacs Chesla 48:35

On this episode of the Hungarian Heritage podcast, I will be speaking with Elizabeth Lukacs Chesla, and she is the author of Y ou Cannot Forbid the Flower, a novel about the Hungarian Revolution in 1956. What’s unique about this novel is how Elizabeth was able to skillfully weave together stories, poems, and historical documents, along with the first hand experiences that her father shared with her about being a freedom fighter during this tumultuous and revolutionary time. As you will hear in the episode, Liz has placed her father in the novel as the main character who serves as the “everyman” or “every Hungarian man”. Listen along as we discover and unpack the slices of our Hungarian heritage, the levels of loss we have all experienced, and maybe discover some things we didn’t realize about this time period and about our own families. After listening, I hope that this conversation sparks a desire for you to dig a little deeper into your own family history, and maybe discover a slice or two of information that you didn’t know about your Hungarian heritage.
