Houston Chronicle on Dunkin's French Toast Twist

Earlier this week the Houston Chronicle's Drive-Thru Gourmet turned his attention to Dunkin' Donuts. Specifically, he sampled the chain's new French Toast Twist.

As most of you out there know America's No. 1 doughnut maker has been trying to recast its image all year. One of the ways it's cooked up to do this is taking a page from fast-food chains. Sounds like the French Toast Twist is squarely within this mold.

The author is quick to point out that the French Toast Twist falls outside Dunkin's bread-and-butter business of bagels, doughnuts and muffins. It's not really French toast either.

That said it sounds pretty good. What could be wrong with rolls of flaky pastry with French toast flavors baked in? Sure it sounds like a McGriddle, but at least there's no logo emblazoned on it. And they're available all day. Note to self: Visit Dunkin' for 2 p.m. hangover breakfast after attending Brewtopia tonight.

But what's the point of eating breakfast if it has virtually no nutritional value? If this is all you eat in the morning, your blood sugar will spike and then drop sharply, so you'll be feeling pretty awful by 11 a.m.

Better for you, better tasting, and more nutritional. Come on DD -- we don't need more donuts for breakfast. You had that one covered already.
