The Cronut? What is the hype?

A cronut is a trademarked combination of donut and croissant and was developed by Dominique Ansel in New York City.  It's got some sort of lemon glaze and filled with cream.  I first heard about it on The Chew.


Clinton, Carla, Daphne, Mario and Michael seemed to enjoy it.




Interns from all over the place were probably sent to stand in line for hours.  I saw the cronut all over the television.  Live with Kelly and Michael had two cronuts and Kelly Ripa was talking about it for days and days.


Look at that face!









Each cronut is $5.00 USD.  There is a wait for the donut that goes around the block, and people get in line two hours prior to the opening of the bakery.  They are only allowing two cronuts per person.  There are even rumors that people will buy their cronuts and then sell them on the "black market!"
You can pre-order a cronut by telephone and the limit for pre-orders is six cronuts.  Sounds like a deal, right?  Well, don't get too excited because the pre-order lists are full.
212-219-2773.  Good luck!
