Doughnuts are on a global rampage, and they must be stopped
Live MintDoughnuts, you have gone too far. It was a thrill this year when you appeared at Wylie Dufresne’s Du Donuts and Coffee, in Brooklyn, New York, in superb cakey style, with flavours such as Creamsicle, Mexican Hot Chocolate, and even the shouldn’t-work-but-it-does “Peanut Butter and Yuzu.” We were also ecstatic to see you take cruller form, coated in maple and cinnamon sugar, at Danny Meyer’s Daily Provisions cafe. We can make peace with his straightforward doughnuts, including one topped with Captain Crunch—and even the “Buford Highway,” which pays tribute to Atlanta’s Asian restaurant neighborhood with a doughnut garnished with pork “floss”. It’s apparently a new rule that you’re not allowed to gripe about any kind of fried chicken sandwich, even one that has an egg and the “bread” is actually two whole donuts. “We’re getting a good response on the doughnut Benedict.” We’re all going to crash from this sugar high.
