Even Red Robin Has Knock-Off Cronuts Now, Calls Them Doh! Rings
The idea of a donut with a flaky croissant texture has been too intriguing for restaurants not to try. Many have taken Dominique Ansel’s Cronut concept and ran with it. Jack In The Box has their own Croissant Donuts and Rounds Bakery had their infamous #NotACronut battle against Ansel. Now Red Robin has taken a stab at making their own Cronut-like pastry.
Red Robin is calling them Doh! Rings and describes them as a “hybrid of a warm, flaky croissant and a hot, sweet donut.”
Using the same presentation as their onion rings, the Doh! Rings are stacked like a tower, and are served with hot fudge and berry dipping sauces on the side.
The Doh! Rings are being introduced as part of Red Robin’s new holiday menu that includes a Red Wine Milkshake and a holiday turkey burger.
