Making borscht is labor intensive. That's not lazy, that's strategic.

Lol, love this. It’s an all day thing when I’ve made it.

Slow cooker makes all the difference. My wife does her's in it and it is excellent with very little effort.

Make a London broil or a pot roast then use the leftover meat as the base for borscht the next day.

I’m calling Borscht shit

Quality dad joke. Well done sir.

My wife does, she lived in Russia for awhile. Uses an old Georgian family recipe. Oh, sorry, that doesn't help you... You're going to need to find a babushka. Otherwise, settle for Perly's, it's not bad.

My Russian neighbor does. She tells me there's lots of different borscht recipes that vary by area.

I do. ;-D Actually, there's a good allrecipes.com one for slow cooker borscht, just cut the vinegar to 3tbsp, 6 tbsp is excessive.

Thank you for all the helpful suggestions! Heading to Perly’s this week.

The only place I know of with borscht is Perly’s, as others have suggested. Not a lot of Eastern European or Russian cuisine in RVA.
