Czech Republic featured in Au Bon Pain menu item

February 24, 2017

Czech your attitude at the door, as Au Bon Pain is releasing its newest menu item centered around a Czech Republic wedding tradition, according to a press release.

The addition, bacon & cheddar kolache [koh-LAH-chee], originated in the eighteenth century as a wedding desert in the Chzech Republic and emerged in America after Czech immigrants settled in Texas.

"We're thrilled to be the first brand in our category to introduce the kolache to new regions of the U.S.," Katherine See, Au Bon Pain's executive chef, said in the release. "We love playing with our ovens and get inspired when something super special emerges. We pride ourselves on offering choices for our customers, and while we believe how important it is to create delicious, healthful options for every day, we also know food lovers want to indulge too."

The concept is offering two for $5 at participating cafes, according to the release.
