They're huge! </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/gentle-warning-about-kolache-mama#post-3880 Mon, 12 Oct 2009 10:23:17 -0500 StreetMeasOnsumer3008 3880@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>I had the reuben and lemon curd kolaches on Friday for dinner. Very nice of them to heat up the reuben for me. I started to devour it outside the store. Reuben was okay but nothing special. I enjoyed the sweet and tart lemon curd a lot more. I don't know what's so great about kolaches though? To me, these are just european versions of chinese buns. More expensive versions at 5.44 for 2, when I could eat like a fatty at any chinese bakery...even pricier ones like Tai Pan would get almost 4 buns/pastries instead of 2. Definitely worth a try but I'm not into them. Cheapskate factor and value-seeking comes first. I can understand the rent is more expensive but these are just trendy buns. If the taste was out of this world, then it's a different story... </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/gentle-warning-about-kolache-mama#post-3873 Fri, 09 Oct 2009 16:09:26 -0500 stevenp 3873@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>Chocolate-covered bacon is yummy. I made my own at a brunch buffet that had a chocolate fountain. (I did not put the bacon in the fountain!) Sister thought I was nuts, then tried it and admitted it was good. </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/gentle-warning-about-kolache-mama#post-3871 Fri, 09 Oct 2009 15:23:08 -0500 ncsuemme 3871@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>Mmmm sweet and savory. While sauerkraut and apple doesn't appeal to me, damn the rest of you. Now I want salt + caramel + chocolate. </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/gentle-warning-about-kolache-mama#post-3870 Fri, 09 Oct 2009 15:15:11 -0500 Mamacita 3870@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>sauerkraut on sweet apple = yuk.

I wound up with sauerkraut on my Apple Pie kolache. </p> <p>By the way, these kolaches may not be "authentic", but MAN are they delicious. 4 of these carb/fat bombs went slightly over $10, but it was also too much food. 3 is more than enough. </p>
