I just ate a cream cheese danish from Praseks. Their sausage/jap/cheese kolaches are ALMOST as authentic as buccees

Or that you don't understand this isn't some podunk backwoods central Texas town with Polka music competing with cattle prices for air time on the radio. We don't have to pretend we care about the history of a dish from 3 centuries and 6 thousand miles ago to pretend we're special.
It's a kolache and has been for the last 5 decades. We eat it because it's almost as good as the boudin and newer culinary adaptions that have surpassed it, but aren't as widely available. Not because of your cultural longing for a "homeland" you've never seen and probably can't point out on a map. It's Shipley's and Donut Stop and any hole in the wall bakery goods. Hell, you act like your defending the honor of Trdelnik in the streets of Prague (that's a major city in Czechoslovakia).

Bohunk kolache pride is right up there with the little Mexican ladies at taco-rias trying to slightly correct my pronunciations of their food dishes. I guess when you're at the bottom of the cultural and intellectual pyramid and have very little to be proud of, you cling desperately to anything that allows you to feel slightly smarter than the people paying the bills.Quote:
I have a Czech great grandmother who, every Christmas Eve, would make the family homemade Kolaches. I would look forward to it every year, it was one of my favorite Christmas traditions. When I attended Texas A&M University, I was excited to hear that places around town sold Kolaches! I imagined it would be a home-away-from-home while I was at college. However, to my surprise, I found that these weren't like the Kolaches my 'prababicka' made me, these were pigs in a blanket!

Donut Fairy and Kolache Dork. GD this board blows.
10 years ago the food discussion would be about the buffet at TMC.

You know what I hate? People who brush their teeth in the bathroom at work after lunch.
Is that like Mexican bakery style? If so, that's my preferred method. Get a little tray with the tongs and open the display cases to pull out the one you want with tongues instead of running your *******ed filthy primate paws over every single last crumb.swimmerbabe11 said:
Ironically, the 99 ranch bakery has everything covered in little glass cabinets and a line with tongs and trays.
99 ranch is pretty China-ish.

I prefer the ham kolaches
Is that the Fairfield one???? Looks like it. I've had the same thought, but I guess it isn't much different than the donut case right by it.lancevance said:
Pic below is kind of when they were running out. If you go in the morning, stuff is stacked to the top. Out in the open. Looks very "China-ish"
not sure about 44 years, but they've been there at least 10 or so. they did a remodel a few years back so maybe that's when they popped up on your radar.ChiliBeans said:
While we're on the subject of kolaches, does anyone know if the Koloache Shoppe on Richomond was ever at a different location? Website says they've been on Richmond for 44 years, but I don't remember them being in that Weslayn center. Could just be because I was never over that way for breakfast.
