AlwaysInformed: Bacon Donuts Now at Wildwood BBQ

Maryse Chevrière — March 30, 2010

Wildwood BBQ’s new Glazed Cinnamon Donuts topped with Candied Bacon.

At last Saturday’s Grillin’ on the Bay cook-off, Wildwood Barbecue’s chef “Big Lou” Elrose lamented that dessert entries weren’t permitted in the “chef’s choice” category. Wait— barbecue for dessert?

Well, it’s not exactly barbecue, but the chef revealed that he does get to exercise his sweet tooth back at Wildwood, with a new addition to the restaurant’s dessert menu: Cinnamon Donuts topped with Candied Bacon. The dish debuted last Friday and features two airy, cinnamon-rich cake donuts, that are good (though not Doughnut Plant good).

Donuts arrive top-coated in a frosting-like glaze that is sprinkled with chewy, salty-sweet bacon bits. If you’re sharing, be prepared to fight for these bites. Of course, the real move is to dunk a bacon-studded nub in the excellent accompanying homemade coffee ice cream.
