Where can you find Kolache's in the US?

I have spoken with quite a few people around the country and it seems that the only place in the US you can find Kolache's (AKA pigs in a blanket) is in Texas. Most people haven't even heard of them, have you?

Jeff

Never in a restaurant, but sometimes for breakfast at home.

I make em..Yummmmyyyy

Never seen them in a restraunt either. Usually get them where you buy doughnuts.

Jeff

I don't know how to make them, but I do know where to buy them

Best one's are made at home, but even Sams Club sells some pretty good ones with raw dough. Saw an idea once to make full sized with hot dogs and those Pillsbury crescent roll dough things. Not bad, but not the same as the sausage. Maybe with a cooked brat...

Grandmothers make the best ones though.

Now that you've made me hungry, I'm going to have to visit that little czech bakery in the village in Cedar Rapids!!!

BTW-do a search for Kolaches in yahoo-you'll end up with a ton of links-there's quite a few in the Midwest!!

I did a "search" to figure out the correct spelling. Lol. I thought they were Polish, but found out they were Czech. I usually get some on the weekend at Shipley's or one of the other doughnut places.

Jeff

We have them with jalapeno’s down here.

mmmmmmmmmm!

Im drooling now haha

ppppssshhhhhhhhtttt
We had them every other day for school lunch. But they sucked.

I will be in TX in 3 weeks I will have to give em a sample Tex style.

i use to live in houston 7 years ago and i was working at Gerlands Food Fair we made them fresh daily with and with out cheese at the time we charged .75 each but that was 7 years ago i dont even know if gerlands is still open.

There is a huge Czech community in Cedar Rapids, IA, so they have them there. In fact, I think there's a kolache festival or something like that there.

Or I might be on crack.

Jeff

Had them in all the local restaraunts in central PA. That was in Amish country.

We had a customer at the office today. Guess what my boss brought in, and guess where from? I thought it was pretty funny.
