Canada Has Maple Bacon Cronut Burgers Now

Congratulations, Canada, not only are you getting cronuts, you're getting cronut burgers. CTV Toronto reports there will be Maple Bacon Jam Cronut Burgers served at the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto starting August 16. These wonders of human achievement were the creation of a partnership between the bakery Le Dolci and Epic Burgers and Waffles, a Toronto restaurant that serves Krispy Kreme burgers, burgers between two grilled cheese sandwiches, and that kind of thing. According to Le Dolci, it will be available from August 16 to September 2, 2013 and cost $10.

Obviously these are not true Cronut Burgers, because New York pastry chef Dominique Ansel has a trademark on the word Cronut and, as of press time, has not gone into the burger business. (And Ansel's attorneys have gotten a little feisty about other people using the name cronut.) Over the weekend, real Ansel Cronuts were photographed with Brooklyn's cult hybrid food, the ramen burger. In any case, enjoy your gluttony, Toronto.
