We stopped for kolaches in West twice, once on the south bound side and once on the north bound.

can't say which I thought were better - more research needed next month

the link sausage with swiss cheese and kraut are my fav

klobasnek?  good  to know!

not as bad as folks here referring to all meat cooked outdoors as BBQ  

You do know the Czech Museum is in Cedar Rapids?  Yes more than 100miles for you but lots of Czechs and Czech goodies,  which in all candor,  most Czech food specialties aren't all that great. I blame the varied ruthless rulers of Czechoslovakia over time.  Washed out a lot of culture.

the newer place on the west side of the road is solid

Slovacek’s has a meat market................

Since 1957 Slovacek’s has been providing Texas with all kinds of fabulous smoked sausage. Since 1893 Nemecek Bros. has been providing West with their famous ring bologna, weiners and Hot Chubbies. Well, these traditions became permanently linked in 2012 at Slovacek’s West. You can find all of those delectable offerings and more. Our expert meat team has stuffed pork tenderloins and chicken breasts with an array of meats and cheeses. There is something for everyone. If you want steak or burgers for the grill, we can help with that, too! Make sure to either bring that cooler, or take home an insulated Slovacek’s bag so you can enjoy more Slovacek taste on your own dinner table!

If you need an on the go afternoon snack, our beef jerky spread (available plain or with sweet jalapeno) is the be-all, end-all of dips! It is so tasty it requires a 12 step program to quit it! Made from Beef Jerky, Cream Cheese and mayo with a special blend of spices, this dip is sure to be a hit.

Paris is cold with horrible traffic due to protests.  Manifestations.

I find it a bit funny that the smug Parisians, who look down on our American way of life and believe they're superior, have their city completely shut down on a regular basis by Parisians who think that life is so crappy that they have to take to the streets in strike and protest...

FF..

In nebraska, the best Kolaches I've had lately are at the Wahoo bakery in downtown Wahoo.   They have that softer dough that almost melts in your mouth.  If you prefer the more coffee dunkable dough (like my mom does), Wilber has some great places... but that would be a haul for you.    Wahoo is just north of Lincoln when you're in town. 

My grandma (dad's side) made some of the best kolaches (style I like as well) and rolls.  Her secret was discovered in her 80's...  She would boil potatoes and only use that water for her baking.  Came from when she was first married and they had to hand pump water from the well.  You reused everything.  The extra starch really made her baking incredible.  She also cooked for the local HS in Brianard (East Butler... home of the Mackovicka brothers).   My cousins (mom's side) still talk about their school rolls being some of the best.

Believing one's way of life to be superior while simultaneously crapping on one's own surrounding is in some ways the human condition.
