Extreme foods are nothing new. Remember KFC's Double Down of 2010? But this year restaurant chains took the concept to a new level. "We've seen operators from different segments roll out buzzworthy food mash-ups that shock and delight curious customers," says Laura McGuire of food research firm Technomic. Case in point: the cronut (see above)—a doughnut/croissant hybrid. Whether these items left you drooling or repulsed, extreme food items keep restaurant concepts top of mind by generating news. We took a look at seven of them from the past year.
極端食品并不是什么新事物。還記得肯德基(KFC)在2010年推出的雙層炸雞漢堡(Double Down)嗎？但在今年，連鎖餐廳業把這項概念推向了一個新高度。“我們看到不同領域的運營商推出引發熱議的混搭食物，讓好奇心重的客戶備受震撼，驚喜不已，”食品研究公司Technomic的勞拉•麥圭爾說。一個恰當的例證是cronut（上圖所示）：一種把甜甜圈和羊角面包混合在一起的食物。無論這些極端食品是讓你垂涎三尺，還是惡心不已，它們總是能夠成為新聞，讓你牢牢記住蘊含于其中的餐飲理念。現在，我們就一起來回顧一下過去一年最具代表性的7種極端食品。
Glazed Donut Breakfast Sandwich
Chain: Dunkin' Donuts
Can't decide between an egg sandwich or a glazed doughnut in the morning? Dunkin' Donuts (DNKN) solved this eternal struggle for breakfast lovers in 2013 with the creation of its Glazed Donut Breakfast Sandwich, comprised of bacon and a pepper-fried egg nestled between two sides of a glazed doughnut. Dunkin' started testing the doughnut-sandwich combo in the Boston area before rolling it out nationally. It became a permanent menu item in June on--of course--National Donut Day.
Notable Review: "This thing comes in at a scant 360 calories. A bacon egg 'n cheese croissant packs a whopping 480. It is borderline nutritionally irresponsible NOT to eat this thing."

釉面甜甜圈早餐三明治
連鎖餐廳：唐恩都樂
一大早不知道是吃雞蛋三明治，還是吃釉面甜甜圈？唐恩都樂（Dunkin' Donuts）在2013年推出了釉面甜甜圈早餐三明治——釉面甜甜圈夾熏腌肉和辣椒炒雞蛋——解決了這樣一個讓早餐愛好者永遠都難以抉擇的難題。唐恩都樂首先在波士頓地區試銷這款由甜甜圈和三明治組合而成的食品，隨后推向了全國。6月份，它成為一個固定的菜單選項，上菜單的日子當然選在了全國甜甜圈日那天。
精彩評論：“這種食物的熱量僅為360卡路里。一個熏腌肉雞蛋奶酪羊角面包的卡路里含量高達480。從營養角度來看，不吃這玩意簡直是不負責任的表現。”
