In appreciation of the kolache: Texans travel-worthy companion, humble and tasty
Read full article: In appreciation of the kolache: Texans travel-worthy companion, humble and tastyThe Texas Kolache Trail has made these Czech treats destination-worthy, but outside of towns such as West and Ellinger, you can still find some excellent eats, say along the Austin-to-San Antonio Interstate 35 corridor. Dos Gatos Kolache Bakery in San Marcos divides its menu into โTexas Kolachesโ (the ones with meat or savory veggies) and โCzech Kolaches,โ those with fruit, cream, or cheeses. While some bakeries serve klobasnek that look like pigs in a blanket, they are more like puffy pastry rolls. There will be no powdered sugar spilled, no grease from a fast-food burger, no unseemly shirt stains, unless you somehow topple a blueberry kolache onto yourself. Appreciate the travel-worthiness of road kolaches.
