| by FWTX Staff |What is it? For those of you living under a rock, a kolache (pronounced KO-LA-CHEE) is based on the fruit-filled pastries from Central Europe. They have become a Texas-by-way-of-the-Czech Republic tradition and an excellent alternative to bagels, muffins or doughnuts.
Where can I get one?

Why did they do it? Fort Worth friends, Wade Chappell and Greg Saltsman, couldn't find an acceptable kolache anywhere in Fort Worth and decided to change that. Not knowing anything about how to make them, they traveled far and wide across the state of Texas, speaking to experts and learning the craft. Recently they opened Pearl Snap Kolaches (named for the type of button found on Western shirts), and locals are quickly making it a part of their morning rituals.
