Craig Adamowski of 99 Bottles - dude has a digestive repertoire built on three things: chicken teriyaki, cookies and beer.

So what the hell does Adamowski know about Russian meat-stuffed pastries known as piroshky? Nothing, I would presume. Nothing at all.

But a couple years ago this beer-store-owning libations buff recommended I try out a piroshky at a local restaurant in Milton. Again, I had a hard time believing Mr. Adamowski due to his history with menu limitations, plus the fact Milton houses nothing but tanning franchises, grocery stores and a historically rad place known as Dave's.

But I'll be damned if Adamowski didn't call it right. Simply named Russian Piroshky, this hidden gem is located on a secret corner in a strip shopping center anchored by an Albertson's grocery store in Milton.

It's hard to believe a completely inconspicuous Russian delicacy has been right under my nose all these years. As painful as it was to admit Adamowski was right. At Milton's Russian Piroshky I discovered a quick, delicious, to-go meal alternative that has nothing to do with pizza, burgers or teriyaki.

Awesome.

Originally fried, these meat-and-cheese-filled bundles of bread have been made healthier at Russian Piroshky in Milton by being baked. With flaky, delicious dough surrounding a hot and tasty meat filling, you're immediately left to wonder if you should have bought more during a visit or saved the excitement for next time.

For around three dollars, Russian Piroshky guests can chose from variations of salmon, beef, cheese, sausage and onion stuffing. And the delicious fruit-stuffed pastries are a must-have, costing you just a measly dollar bill.

Buyer's Tip: When things are just one dollar, buy four more and share. That way you can hold your unsolicited good deed over a friend's head later when you need a favor in return.

Russian Piroshky in Milton also offers wi-fi, espresso and homemade breads such as rye, white and wheat.

Lesson: A picky eater means a picky palate, and a picky palate will only pick out the best.

Unless you're 5 years old, Mr. Adamowski.
