Mr. Donut

Mr. Donut in the East End does kolaches a little differently. They make a large sausage-and-cheese kolache wrapped in a buttery, flaky biscuit dough. While that’s novel, it’s only recommendable to someone who wants to eat an entire stick of butter. The dough itself has so much butter that it falls flat around the sausage, and the whole thing tastes overly rich. But in between bites of still-warm glazed donuts, it tastes pretty good—the same way anything made with sugar and butter does. But for a solid savory snack, stick to the normal-sized sausage and cheese.
