Can either Kobe beef or doughnuts be improved upon? Probably not. Those things are fine on a plate all on their own! But there is a strong desire to mash beautiful foods together to create frankenfoods that look cool on your Instagram, and that is how the Kobe Beef Filled Chili Donut came to be (probably).
The sweet & savory meat-doughnut is being served up at Boneyard Bistro on Ventura Blvd, where it was created by chef/owner Aaron Robins, who is known for his "eclectic bistro fare" and putting modern twists on childhood favorites. (He's also got “Bacon Building Blocks,” and fried mac n’ cheese on the menu.)
