It is literally a (small) frisbee-sized mass of fried dough with huge chunks of brownie on top, covered in chocolate icing. <br /><br />I just polished off the leftovers I had of a Black Out. Now I must go for a long run.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13266962386693005030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780795730939193102.post-81134886534214726202009-10-20T17:50:48.172-05:002009-10-20T17:50:48.172-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13266962386693005030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780795730939193102.post-18829084960802707652009-10-20T16:33:33.327-05:002009-10-20T16:33:33.327-05:00I'm officially submitting a request to AE Tour...I'm officially submitting a request to AE Tours for a test run of the Black Out (you had me at brownie batter, Gourdough's). <br /><br />Also, I love that the logo is a doughnut train conductor.

It's like if Tiff's Treats made each of their cookies the size of a hubcap. I can't help but eat as much as I can at the initial sitting when they're hot and fresh because I've found that they don't keep well.<br /><br />I like that they're open till 2am, but who wants to wait 5-15 minutes for a donut at the end of the night?<br /><br />And yet I keep going back...Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13266962386693005030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780795730939193102.post-21386292600704363702009-10-19T21:11:22.289-05:002009-10-19T21:11:22.289-05:00Hey!

I'll take the Funky Monkey, ditch the cream cheese icing and replace it with the peanut butter icing, sprinkle it with a little bit of gram cracker and heath bar chips, top it with a peanut butter morsel and call it "The Elvis".<br /><br />Damn, now I gotta go try this concoction. I'll tell ya'll how it works out.Aaron Robert Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04908537753580449738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780795730939193102.post-25481864583452129752009-10-19T20:32:36.549-05:002009-10-19T20:32:36.549-05:00I know where I'm going after my morning class ...I know where I'm going after my morning class tomorrow.

I ha...First of all thank you for the kind words :)<br /><br />I have since stumbled onto some photos, and some VERY positive reviews on Yelp here:<br />http://bit.ly/3llBkB<br /><br /><br />And to fulfill my obligation of unnecessary and obligatory criticism (based on nothing but sheer jealousy that I didn't get stoned back in 2006 when my ex bought me a deep fryer for Christmas (yeah who does that, right?) & start this crazy business myself) <br />*Phew* What was i saying? Oh yeah, I know presentation isn't everything, but the ever expanding world of cup cakeries here in Austin has spoiled me in a bad way. Not only do i want things to taste good, i want them to look as good as they taste... That being said, I think they may be lacking a little in the presentation department. Specifically the Razzle Dazzle. It doesn't really scream "PUT ME IN YOUR MOUTH!" as much as it does, "Hey i could have possibly just fallen on the floor, but no one saw it, so it's probably still cool to eat me."<br />Like i said, completely unfounded and stupid, but it is what it is. When it comes down to it its a donut, and it's going in your mouth, so what difference does it make what it looks like.<br /><br /> <br />Check out this post over at Austinpost.org and take a gander at the Razzle Dazzle and the Blue Balls http://bit.ly/sH8i8GARY!https://www.blogger.com/profile/13514968200037781374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780795730939193102.post-74264344067619823552009-10-19T16:37:34.269-05:002009-10-19T16:37:34.269-05:00whoa. bacon donut?whoa. bacon donut?Hipstercritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02168118598530462596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780795730939193102.post-75144355443674472662009-10-19T16:16:57.913-05:002009-10-19T16:16:57.913-05:00Kay, you are so full of information!!!

I've been tweeting about Gordoughs since before ACL...why, then have I not tried one of the fantastic creations? They aren't open in the morning, the only time I'm normally free and on S. Lamar. :-( Waiting for them to edge their noontime opening up to the 8am mark. They share the lot with @AustinBrevita and I stop there for coffee most weekdays. Just waiting until I can try the Slow Burn or the Porkey's!Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05113494166399911997noreply@blogger.com
