I didn’t know about the absurd bakery craze that is the cronut until after I had left New York. \u00a0Am I foolish enough to wait in line for hours in the very early morning? \u00a0For two donuts?<\/p>\n
… maybe. \u00a0What’s the weather like?<\/p>\n
Anyhow, a local bakery introduced their donut variant, the brioughnut. \u00a0Their website describes it as “A sophisticated hybrid of the all-American doughnut and rich, flaky layers of brioche dough, handcrafted from scratch and laminated using the finest European butter.”<\/p>\n
I was intrigued at the potential for fancy baked goods so I went down to their shop and picked up two. \u00a0A glazed and a maple bacon. \u00a0My aunt liked the maple bacon and I liked the glazed. \u00a0This is a rather poor review I’m afraid.<\/p>\n
I mean if I were to try and explain to you my philosophy about donuts it would really be a long winded discussion, wouldn’t it? \u00a0And then you would think “well he’s got the mentality of a fat kid and this is one of the reasons why he is not svelte.” \u00a0Or at least I could probably go on about donuts for a while even though I only really eat donuts from one vendor. \u00a0DONUT MAN.<\/p>\n
I should see if they know when they’re introducing peach donuts.<\/p>\n
Back to donuts. \u00a0Right. \u00a0So I don’t go to Winchells and I don’t make trips to krispy kreme. \u00a0We don’t have Dunkin’ Donuts out here — at least not yet — and the last thing I ate at a Yum Yum Donuts was a torta. \u00a0NO REALLY, IT WAS A TORTA.<\/p>\n
But at Donut Man. The fresh fruit filled donuts are a delight. \u00a0And the tiger tail! \u00a0When they are fresh they are amazing. \u00a0When they are not hot and fresh they are good. \u00a0Wait, is that all I’m going to say on the subject? \u00a0Surely I can fabricate greater sentences with descriptive facilities equipped in my brain.<\/p>\n
Wait, it’s 2am. \u00a0I haven’t had coffee today.<\/p>\n
Coffee and donuts?<\/p>\n
Not a big fan of cake donuts. That’s not what a donut should be like. \u00a0For some reason the brioche donut reminded me of a cake donut. \u00a0But the inside wasn’t stiff and dense like cake. \u00a0No, it was much lighter. \u00a0And I imagine all of the butter helped too.<\/p>\n
The brioughnut is only available on the weekends. \u00a0Parking is not very very convenient. \u00a0At Donut Man I believe their donuts are always available. \u00a0(Seasonal donuts during the appropriate season). \u00a0Donut Man has parking next to the shop.<\/p>\n
But ConfeXion makes cupcakes and my experience with the brioughnut makes me want to come back and try their cupcakes. \u00a0And I think that’s the secret to a good donut. \u00a0It makes you want more.<\/p>\n
