: Type_One September 17, 2013, 01:45:52 AM
this Cronuts/Croughnuts was invented in New York around May this year. Now it has become a fad Cronuts stands for Croissant-Doughnuts

More popular places to grab em are WildFlour Cafe (Podium/The Fort) and DolceLatte (Q-Ave.)

Yeah , but that was like 3 o 4 years ago my former boss flew to NY for a vacation , then after vacation nya he had these boxes of Krispy Kreme galing New York, then since Krispy Kreme became famous KK started to put branches here in Bay Area

it's like the " In and Out Burger " in other state they don't have In and out before so people fly here in Bay Area just to Eat In and Out

speaking of Philly CheeseSteak  ::drool that was the greatest food invented by man like F*ck!!!

well that's better than KK in the P.I., you'd get diabetes, haha. With the CheeseSteak, i saw this 50php sandwich/roll over at 711 called beef sandwich, then i was like "WTF, is that supposed to be like a makeshift Philly thing?"

BTT: well yea, but my scare about cronuts is that it might give us gas, since croissants really have nothing but air inside anyway, haha

Considering as how there are people who actually enjoy eating the Krispy Kreme bacon cheeseburger, I wonder if any of my fellow Espiyas would be willing to eat a bacon cheeseburger with cronuts as buns?

they have burgers in Krispy Kreme??

In the interests of accuracy and fairness, the Krispy Kreme burger isn't officially listed on the donut chain's menu but it's a rather popular food item in the U.S. A lot of diners and eateries offer the Krispy Kreme burger (or the donut burger, as some simply refer to it). There's even one establishment in Wisconsin  that gives the customer the option of chocolate-coated bacon instead of regular bacon. Coincidentally enough, Wisconsin is also the home of the butter burger, which is prepared by melting an entire stick of butter on a freshly-grilled beef patty.

The story behind the ultra-caloric Krispy Kreme burger supposedly goes along these lines: the late musical icon Luther Vandross and his friends were at his home one day and wanted to chow down on burgers. Vandross already had the patties grilling when he found out that he had no buns. In a fit of inspiration, laziness, or madness (depending on your perspective), he used what he had available at the time: a box of Krispy Kreme glazed donuts. The sandwiches inevitably became a culinary hit for Vandross and was one of his favorite treats (hence the original nickname "the Luther Burger").

It must be noted, however, that Luther Vandross suffered from hypertension and diabetes for most of his life (among the causes mentioned were his eating habits). He suffered a stroke in 2003 and passed away in 2005 due to a heart attack. So it would perhaps be best if my Espiya brethren think twice before attempting to replicate the Krispy Kreme burger and adding it to their list of favorite foods.
