Fast Break: The Kolache Kitchen

Kolaches might be one of the most genius hand-to-mouth food delivery systems ever devised. At The Kolache Kitchen on Nicholson Drive, these little pastry pockets of sweet or savory goodness can fill you up for cheap—everything on the menu is about $3 or less. Their latest special, the boudin kolache, brings some local spice to a Polish specialty. The larger ranchero kolache incorporates egg into the traditional meat and cheese combo for a full breakfast all wrapped up and ready to go. If you’re on the move, a drive-thru window makes The Kolache Kitchen a breeze for pickups, and almost every option can be eaten one-handed. For more information, click here. —Kaci Yoder
