What’s a Dornut? It’s Pandor Artisan Boulangerie and Cafe’s answer and secret weapon to a certain croissant/doughnut craze. Flaky layers of buttery goodness make the ideal base for this modern version of a club sandwich. It’s then followed by a major stacking of deli tastes: turkey, crisp bacon, melty Swiss, sliced avocado, lettuce, tomato, slivers of red onion and garlic mayonnaise. Usually served on signature boule, your special Club goes the extra mile, thanks to that Dornut.
As you dig into one, the final element of your sandwich comes into play. Cutting into a Dornut Club, you’ll experience conflicting egg porn. Do you pick up your camera phone and document an eggs-cellent yolk moment? Or attack lunch with the gusto of a seasoned Forker? The answer is both, because that’s how you roll. Order this off-menu mouthful from any of Pandor’s three locations, and brace yourself for the pending food coma.
