Gourmet Doughnuts

I suppose it makes sense that doughnuts are going gourmet, since cupcakes have gone fru-fru.

I had lunch at The Gage in Chicago, and they offer a signature "Coffee Stuffed Doughnuts Espresso and Crunchy Coffee and Hot Fudge" dessert.  It was pretty darn good!  The doughnut holes have a surprise in the middle - (gourmet) lemon filling! The sauce was ok (I'm not a coffee fan).  The doughnuts themselves are light but chewy (not the uncooked dough chewy...the I want to have chewy carbs type of taste).  If I posted this on Facebook, I would have "Like"d it.



I also ordered a "Market Fruit with Curry Biscotti".  The fruit was fresh and sweet and the mascarpone cream cheese was perfect.  This is a perfect dessert for those who want something healthier than doughnuts.  Sorry, the biscotti isn't pictured because they forgot about it.  But it tasted just like any ole biscotti.
