Gulf Coast Kolache

Well… yesterday was a doozy. 😵‍💫

Between an equipment issue that cost us an entire overnight brisket cook, having to discard a full batch of egg product, and an unexpected staff illness, we are significantly behind on production.

Rather than open today with a very limited menu and stretch our already-small crew even thinner, we’re going to close today, Tuesday, September 1, so we can regroup, restock, and get Gulf Coast Kolache Co. back in order.

We hate disappointing you, but today we need a minute to catch our breath and catch up. Thank you for always being so understanding and supportive of our scratch kitchen. We’ll keep you updated about tomorrow! ❤️

🛸 OKAY… THE UFO EXPERIMENT IS GETTING OUT OF HAND 😅

We started playing with UFOs because we wanted a hot, made-to-order lunch option using our house-made brioche buns.

Then y'all started showing up early for them.

Then we sold out.

And NOW the staff has gotten involved. 😂

Chef Ricci made a Chipotle Black Bean Burger over the weekend to test as a possible special.

The staff went crazy over it — especially our resident vegetarian, who proceeded to turn the ENTIRE remaining batch into patties, make them into UFOs and take them home. 🤣

So apparently that test went well.

TODAY'S UFO LINEUP 🛸

🍔 SMOKED BURGER UFO

House-smoked beef patty, melted cheese & grilled onions pressed hot in our house-made brioche. Served with house pickles, pickled jalapeno slices & BBQ sauce.

🔥 SMOKED POBLANO MEATLOAF UFO

Our house-smoked poblano meatloaf, creamy mashed potatoes & melted cheese. Served with brisket gravy.

🌶️ NEW! CHIPOTLE BLACK BEAN UFO

Our scratch-made chipotle black bean patty with melted cheese, pressed hot in our house brioche and served today with house salsa.

(And yes — it's vegetarian. But we're not calling it a “vegetarian burger” because apparently the rest of the staff isn't willing to share. 😂)

Everything is made hot to order and available in limited quantities for lunch.

🛸 UFOs start landing at 11
📍 Gulf Coast Kolache Co.

$12 includes chips or soup.
