Where To Find Donuts Stuffed With Bacon, Cheeseburgers, Sushi & More
Cheeseburger Donut (Devilicious Donuts via Facebook)
A donut stuffed with the best of a juicy cheeseburger? Sure, why not. How about a sushi donut, a bacon-and-egg donut, or a donut filled with ice cream? Check, check, and check. These crazy concoctions don't just exist in the dark recesses of your gluttonous imagination; soon they will be served up at an Orange County donut shop opening this summer.The spot is called Devilicious Donuts, and it's under construction in Mission Viejo.
Their "sinfully good" treats run the gamut from donuts draped in Hello Kitty-esque icing to red velvet to jalapeno to vegan. That cheeseburger donut? It is "a halved glazed doughnut stuffed with an Angus beef patty and a slice of cheddar cheese," elaborates the OC Register. "Oh no you didn't! Oh yes we did!" they tease on the Devilicious Donuts Facebook page, displaying the snapshot of the $5.95 creation that may already have your arteries seizing.
Owner Omar Amin, an Irvine-based commercial pilot, says he is taking his love of wild and wacky donuts and creating a unique spot in the OC.
If you have a donut suggestion for Amin and Devilicious crew, they are taking suggestions, too; your "wow factor" idea might end up on the menu alongside the donuts filled with french fries and sushi, or studded with chocolate candies.
Amin says he hopes to have his shop open by the end of the month.
