Menu Hacks: Unleashing Creativity at Dunkin’.
Menu hacks have become a popular trend among food enthusiasts, blending fast food items to create unique and delicious combinations. This trend extends beyond fast food chains to sit-down restaurants like Texas Roadhouse, reflecting a desire for innovation and novelty in dining.
Dunkin’ offers a seemingly straightforward menu of donuts, pastries, breakfast sandwiches, sides, and beverages. However, with a bit of creativity, this menu becomes a playground for inventive combinations, especially when using the humble glazed donut as a base.
Glazed Donuts and Bacon: A Savory-Sweet Delight
A classic glazed donut, with its simple and sweet profile, provides an excellent canvas for menu hacks. One popular twist is adding bacon, which brings a savory element to the sweet donut. Dunkin’ provides Maple Snackin’ Bacon as a side item, perfect for this experiment. To create a DIY breakfast sandwich, simply cut a glazed donut in half and insert the bacon. This sweet and savory combination is so appealing that Dunkin’ even offered a similar version, including a fried egg, in 2013.
Exploring More Bacon Combinations
The versatility of Maple Snackin’ Bacon extends beyond the glazed donut. Dunkin’ features various donuts that pair well with bacon, enhancing their flavor profiles. For example, the maple frosted donut can be transformed into a bacon-studded sandwich or topped with crumbled bacon. The maple long john can be opened like a hot dog bun to accommodate bacon strips. Additionally, other maple-themed options like the maple crème donut, maple crème stick, and maple vanilla crème donut can also be paired with bacon. For those looking for a different twist, consider adding bacon to an apple streusel or cinnamon donut.
Bagels and Croissants: Bacon Variations
Dunkin’ also offers bagels and croissants, which can be used to create savory bacon sandwiches. For a more substantial option, open a bagel, spread cream cheese if desired, and layer on bacon. Alternatively, use a croissant for a lighter, flakier option that still delivers a satisfying bacon experience.
Menu hacks at Dunkin’ provide endless opportunities for creativity, turning a limited selection into a range of exciting and personalized meal
