mitchel london foods: no other place for crullers

the dentist and donuts don’t always go together, but for me these amazing french style crullers from mitchel london foods were the perfect end to my enduring the oh so unpleasant dentist cleaning.   so after every dental visit, i would head north to see if mitchel london had these incredibly delicious treats which seem to have just the right balance of doughniess and airness and are just right in the sweet department.  and i’ll admit to being a little obsessed especially because there seems to be a a limited cruller baking schedule (they are rarely available in the early mornings, can run out in the afternoon, and they don’t make them when it is too warm) so i can never know for sure if i will get my treat.   hopefully, this brief heat wave has not shut down the cruller schedule for the rest of spring. 

i don’t remember ever eating french-style crullers before mitchel london, and since then i have been on the look out but so far not much luck in matching the quality of these.  i have only ever seen crullers at dunkin donuts, and sorry but they just aren’t appetizing.   and i just read about at 14th street and 7th avenue that supposedly has fresh donuts all day long so i’ll have to check that out (and i’ll certainly report back if they exceed the mitchel london product).

mitchel london foods, which is owned by the mitchel london who also operates the fairway café and steakhouse  (i’m not a big fan of that restaurant though maybe i should revisit), also offers some delicious prepared foods. i am partial to their very mayonnaisy tuna salad sandwiches served on a brioche bun as well as their fried chicken.   service can be hit or miss, and often can be quite snippy (as are the customers) so i just focus on my prize, and hope that the cruller is waiting for me.    mitchel london foods, 22 east 65th street between madison and 5th avenue, manhattan, new york, .
