Viral NYC Bakery Is ‘Redefining’ Donuts by Adding Anchovies — and it’s Disgusting

Meet the worst Times Square interloper since the Elmos invasion — the “limited edition” anchovy-cheese donut at weirdly punctuated I’m donut ?

The Japanese bakery chain, which set up its first US store at 154 W. 45th St. last spring, will stop at nothing to get attention from TikTok influencers.

This month, the “chef’s inspiration” is to lay a single anchovy across the top of a donut filled with three (count ’em, three) types of cheese — white cheddar, Gruyère, Parmigiano-Reggiano — and creamy Béchamel sauce. It makes for a dairy debacle. The mutant munchie tastes like a salt slick atop a starch-and-sugar pillow.

I could maybe see it on a pizza bagel.

What does that evil man have against donuts?

...anchovy across the top of a donut filled with three types of cheese — white cheddar, Gruyère, Parmigiano-Reggiano — and creamy Béchamel sauce.

I have to be honest here, that sounds awesome and something I would try.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

I’d probably try one too. Just don’t call it a donut.

[9YearLurker]

Just a splash of tomato from a pizza donut.

[9YearLurker]

I agree—me too.

[God luvs America]

this is like putting pineapple on pizza.

Under Mandami not only will the hole have nothing, but the ring also will be missing. The ring is nothing but a capitalist symbol of racism.

I’d bet they say it goes great with an IPA. ;-)

I would pass on the anchovy doughnut, but the Spring Street Bakery in the West Village makes cronuts, a very tasty combination of the doughnut and a croissant. Those are worth buying.

[Jamestown1630]

Just no.

This sounds much better than a donut, I’m a sausage stuffed biscuit (Kolaches) (Klobasneks) over a sickly sweet donut guy.

[mairdie]

Desecration.

That was a Canadian idea. Canadians do not get the whole pizza thing. When someone decided to start a pizza chain in Canada, he decided to name it after a U.S. city. Which one did he pick? Houston.

[Jamestown1630]

LOL!

For some reason that’s hilarious...

[Sacajaweau]

That’s where the “We have a problem” came from

[piasa]

I think those are usually called crullers.

[dinodino]

Me too! I’d definitely try it.

“The mutant munchie tastes like a salt slick atop a starch-and-sugar pillow.”

Im not sure where all the sugar is from by the description but if its sweet (glaze somewhere?) then it should work.

For example, try dill pickles and pralines or melted cheese on fruit pie. A bite of one then the other. Smoked fish and a chocolate bar. Remember chocolate dipped bacon?
