High-End Donuts

Donuts? Yes, donuts! The high-end donut is fast becoming the newest cultural obsession. Beginning on the West coast (where else?!) high-end donut shops like Fritelli's in Beverly Hills, CA have quickly been making a place for themselves in the dessert industry! With donuts on the menu like Pear Fritter, Latte Glaze and
Ceylon Cinnamon Roll there is no dessert junkie stone untouched.

With the deep fried deliciousness of your favorite unhealthy snack combined with fun, fresh ingredients that any cake lover could want, high-end donuts are really picking up steam. Instead of ordering your loved one the typical bouquet of flowers or birthday cake, why not consider ordering a dozen gourmet donuts with all the ingredients of a bananna split? At the Amazing Glaze Donut Company, they specialize in this deadly treat! A quick trip to Floyds Knobs, IN and you too can enjoy this deep fried dessert.

Here are a few of our personal favorites:

• 
  Salted caramel pecan
• 
  Cookies 'n cream
• 
  Turtle long john
• 
  Candied orange blossom
• 
  Caramel apple
• 
  Bacon maple

Yes, there really is a bacon maple donut! Granted, you can only get it at Dynamo Donuts in San Francisco, CA (my favorite place to eat), but who cares? Maybe you should plan a trip to the Golden Gate just to get one of these tasty rolls.

On a recommendation from a Barrington resident at the Metra Station yesterday, a Chicago company - Do Rite Donuts located in the loop - makes their donuts every hour in small batches to assure maximum quality and care for each and every delicious bite! This bakery caters to those who require Gluten-free as well as vegetarian and meat lovers alike. On a warm summer day, stop by and try their Orange-Rosemary baked donut!

We would love to hear about your experiences with gourmet donuts! Feel free
