Ping.
We were going to make a grand tour of Texas to view the bluebonnets and hunt up the top five BBQ purveyors. My wife’s collogue suggested we hunt up a town famous for bakeries and kolaches.
Well in advance of that, we saw a shop on the outskirts of Austin advertising them in it’s name. We stopped on the way out on the road to get a feeling for what they actually were.
The bakery was very small. The woman at the counter was Korean and spoke with a heavy accent. The baker to whom she shouted our order was Hispanic and spoke Spanish to his helper who gathered up our order. As I was paying, I noticed in the corner what was obviously a Thai shrine. I mentioned it and the Korean lady told me yes, the actual owner was a Thai lady but she hadd not come in yet.
So what we actually got was nothing like actual ChechTex Kolaches we sought as a reference
Just like Babushka used to make.
