> This does a great job of explaining a connection between Czech culture and Texas BBQ in Texas, but not how that leads to BBQ sauce hopping back across the Atlantic. Because the author made an unsubstantiated correlation. The real reason is quite simple: globalization. And it's not unique to Czech stores and is unrelated IMO to CZ/TX culture (much of which is generations enough down the line now that places like the Czech Stop or Slovacek's just use it for marketing). Though, if you're bored this weekend, hop on over to Westfest which does have some Czech culture, but it's probably a bit watered down at this day and age as are most culture-based traditions.
