October is Polish American Month: Calling All Kolache Fans

Here's a new concept that is positioning itself as competition to the bagel, but perhaps it's closest competitor is the donut. Of course, in my world, Kolache RULE! Although these fruity bad babies look a little on the doughy-side, more like the coffee cake my friends call Pizza Kolache, and less like the delicate pastries of Grandma Belanski. But the brilliant twist is the savory topping versions--these CIA-trained chef/owners are onto something brilliant that has a better chance of competing against pizza for SOS (share of stomach).
