Cronut 2.0

Oy. Dominique Ansel, inventor (perpetrator?) of the Cronut is unveiling (unleashing?) his Next Big Thing tomorrow--the shot glass-shaped cookie, filled with organic (of course) artisnal (mais certainment) vanilla-infused (why not?) milk.

I haven't walked over there today--I imagine they are already lining up. Only the first 100 people will be served, apparently...

I feel like anybody could make those.

"I feel like anybody could make those."

They have to be leak-proof.

"They have to be leak-proof"

Well--not indefinitely. How long are you going to nurse a shot of artisnal, organic, vanilla-infused milk??

It does seem like a mini-muffin pan and some cookie-dough are all one would need.

Or you could get a sleeping bag and camp out on Spring Street for the next 11 days until you make your way to the front of the line and enjoy the privilege of buying 2 of the 'genuine' version.

Sweet and rated 'somewhat easy'--just like I like 'em!

That's nothing...

There's a new donut shop in WeHo that's stuffing beignets with fried chicken. Stuffing. Beignets. With fried chicken. It's called Glazed Donut Bistro, and it's about to change everything, starting with your New England shrimp roll (which now comes in a Long John, instead of a bun).
Here's a look at every line-blurring donut on the menu...

Le Spirit Lounge, a great vegetarian restaurant that sadly recently closed but was just outside Montreal's gay village had something basically exactly like this (with less pretension--the place thrived on being kitsch) over ten years back.
