Of Course There Is A Cronut Burger

The Cronut Burger from Le Dolci and Epic Burgers and Waffles

Surprise! It’s not from America!

For the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE), two Toronto eateries — Le Dolci and Epic Burgers and Waffles — have decided to create this unholy alliance of part donut, part croissant and part burger. Thankfully, it will only be available between August 16 to September 2, 2013. And in Canada.

Donut Cam For National Doughnut Day From Japan

Chocolate Donut Camera

Members of the human species have evolved into creatures that have long arms. Why? To better hold up their cell phones for picture-taking, of course. However, it is not just the desire to reach higher than low-hanging fruit that has fueled this growth. As always, we as a species strive for more. Like donuts.

The Chocolate Donut Camera gives humans a new reason to reach for the sky. The clever contraption takes stills or video and includes five filters for Instragram-style fun.

We love the color filters and the donut can take stills and videos that will feel delightfully retro. You can also hang your “donut” on your bag or other accessory, and its true-to-life size will make it a fun trick to play on people in need of a snack.

Your subject matter will thank you, because really, what would you rather have pointed at you: a phone or a donut? Plus, there’s the added bonus of knowing that sometime in the future your descendents will thank you for helping to change the course of evolution. See? National Doughnut Day is important! Soon to not only be a worldwide holiday, but one that history will record as a turning point in evolution!

Dunkin’ Donuts Glazed Donut Breakfast Sandwich

Dunkin’ Donuts Glazed Donut Breakfast Sandwich

The Dunkin’ Donuts Glazed Donut Breakfast Sandwich is coming in time for National Donut Day on Friday. Really, it is a wonder it took this long.

This savory and sweet breakfast treat, which consists of a fried egg and cherrywood-smoked bacon inside a split glazed yeast ring donut for 360 calories, will now be a permanent menu item at participating U.S. DD restaurants.

You can read all about it at Dunkin’ Donuts. (In case you were wondering, they suggest “the perfect beverage to go with the Glazed Donut Breakfast Sandwich is a cup of Dunkin’ Donuts Original Blend Coffee.”) But really, what more do you need to know? Bacon. Donut. Egg. Friday.

A Healthy Donut?

Wilton Nonstick 6-Cavity Donut Pan

It is pretty difficult to avoid the occasional donut. They show up at every meeting, function, and hole-in-the-wall shop. Donuts are delicious. And not very healthy. One way to avoid inevitable donut disasters is to make your own. In the oven. The Wilton Nonstick 6-Cavity Donut Pan is specially designed to keep your donut cravings out of the deep-fryer and into the oven. And of course, if you are amongst the brave, perhaps they could even be made without frosting or icing. Well, it could happen, right?

Grill Basket Quadruples The Possibilities

Steven Raichlen Non-Stick Rectangular Compartment Basket

As long as grilling is in the air around these parts, might as well think about some of the things the grill has to offer. But that’s just the problem—if you could call it a problem—the grill makes everything taste better. (Try grilling an apple fritter if you don’t believe it.) While there may be endless possibilities for the grill, not all of them fit so nicely on the grill, unless of course you have something to hold them.

Encouraging experimentation on the grill, the Steven Raichlen Non-Stick Rectangular Compartment Basket holds four different items at one time. The design keeps loose items from falling in the fire, which opens up a world of new possibilities. Best of all with four compartments, there will be enough grilled goodies for everybody.
