What's up Members of the Barrio
It's Jon coming to you from Manhattan
And I recently got a message from one of my viewers
Asking where can I find the best donut in New York City?
And sadly I didn't know the answer to that question
So on this channel when we don't know the answer
We're going to go find it
So today we're visiting highly rated doughut shops
And we're going to do a little bit of a challenge
Ranking each of them From a 1 to a 5
To see whose best?
I've also got two really cool YouTubers joining me as well
Let's go
We've got Jacob Carlson
AKA king of the vlogs
Tal aka.. don't have a good nickname for him but he's the Travelling Clatt on YouTube
What's up baby
How are you guys feeling about this donut challenge?
I'm hungry
I haven't eaten in 10 hours
I've been waiting to do this donut video
So i'm excited to stuff donuts
In my mouthhole
That sounded wrong let's go
We are starting at stop number one
At a place called Underwest
Because it is right next to the..
Westside highway
And it is literally inside of a carwash
And I don't even have a car
Tal do you have a car
I have a car but it's parked in Long Island
Thank you Steve's Dad
Let's try these donuts
Because they are rated very highly
What's your favorite?
I'm simple
Dark Chocolate
I think i'm going to go with the carwash
Because we're at a car wash
That's our signature donut
Oh that's the signature one here..
Looks like a fun car wash
Dude this is the craziest car wash I've ever seen
Excuse me sir you're in the way
I'm not.. am I in the way?
As I promised i'm trying each donut
And ranking them from a 1 to a 5
Kind of arbitrary but..
I'll give you my first reaction
To what I think the rating should be
We've got the carwash
Because well it's coming from a car wash
That's why I ordered it
Vanilla, lavender, not the normal donut flavor I would order but..
Let's see
Ready
What'd you think?
I like the vanilla glaze
Donut underneath..
Not bad
I think it may have been sitting for a while
I'm going to give it a 3
A 3 out of 5
I would come back for this
But.. i'm excited to see what else is out there
To.. as this rips apart
He just smashed the donut
Just smash this thing
Clobber the donut away...
If I had to put it into.. one sentence
I would say..
Check out my video..
Haha funny guy
We are going to stop #2 which is going to be in Chelsea
So.. let's head that way
We're at stop number 2
It's called Doughnut Plant
And they actually have a bunch of these in New York City
Even one in Tokyo
I've got Jacob next to me
You told me this was your favorite donut shop in the city?
Why
Yes.. by far my favorite donut
I really love cake donuts
As opposed to yeast donuts
And the cake donuts here are excellent
They're so good
Let's check this out, let's go
The door handle is a donut
Good start
They have a location in grand central that has the grand central donuts
It's the color of the ceiling and it has like stars and stuff on it
Jacob convinced me to get the black and white donut.. because they have a black and white cookie
In New York So we're going with a black and white donut
Let's see how it compares
I insisted in front of the Pomeranian
Because.. I thought it was funny I dunno
Here we go
Black and white donut
Jacob's favorite place
Donught plant
1 to a 5
I've got a good feeling about this
I'm going to bite it right down the middle
We're going to get a little black
We're going to get a little white
Wow
Look at the chocolate inside
The glaze on top
So tasty
Very sweet
Did they get the consistency of the different frostings.
They got the consistency of the different frostings
That sounds very official
The consistency of the different frostings
Is excellent here
I'm giving this.. you ready
5
A 5.. you should try to feed the dog
A piece of the donut
What does little pooch think
Announcement

Any ideas

The dog will not be there
We are in front of stop #3
It's called Dough
And at this point I don't even know if i'm having dinner
I might not even have breakfast tomorrow
I'm feeling so full
This place is known for having very yeasty doughnuts
There's a lot more air in them
You're going to see
First impression
These donuts are absolutely
Humongous
Could I have one dulce de leche?
Is that to stay or to go?
To go..
Welcome back to the vlog
This is donut number 3
Guys so..
So I looked for the most ridiculous, random flavor I could find
This is Dulce De Leche
I used to eat this a lot when I was in Argentina Years ago, before YouTube
It's basically like milk, caramel, got these little..
Seeds, flakes on top
Let's see what a really yeasty donut tastes like
$3.65 for the record
Here we go
Numero tres
I'm not a huge fan of this
Because as Jacob said in his video
When you go watch it
It tastes kind of like you're eating bread
That has some glaze or something sweet on it
When I order a donut
I want something super sweet
This..
Feels like a hybrid to me
So..
I'm going to go with a three
Not really my style
What's the morale like right now
After three donuts each
I don't want any more donuts
I'm indifferent
This was a stupid video idea Jon
I don't like it
We're in front of stop #4 which is the oldest place on the list
The donut pub
It's been around over 50 years
And it's also open 24 hours a day
At 4 o'clock in the morning on a thursday if you need a donut
Come right here
Now let's see..
How it tastes
What's on it?
Just a yeast donut with a sugar glaze on top of it
I'll take that one
I love this background
Look at this, a little cafe counter
This is the oldest donut shop and it has the cheapest donut we've had so far
Just two dollars and seventy five cents for this
Honey Dip
Which is their version of the glazed donut
It's a classical spot We're going with a classical donut
Let's see how this tastes
Mmm
It's really soft, it's airy
This just tastes like a very good traditional doughnut
To me
It's hard for me to say this is absolutely amazing
But considering that that's what they're going for
Traditional 4
Very good, type of place I would come to..
Late at night to have a coffee and a donut
If I had insomnia for whatever reason
They have a really cool inside
4.. we've got one more place to go
Oh thank you
We have Team Adriana here
She decided to meet us for just one donut
We're all really full
Are you in the mood for a donut
You want to have mine?
That was my plan from the beginning guys
I'm going to have all their donuts
Okay i'm just going to have one last bite
We're going to do one more place guys
Called the Doughnut Project
It's in Greenwich Village
Very new and they're known for having some really unique flavors
So let's find some.. unique stuff
For our last stop.
Let's do it
Hey how are you?
You've got some very unique flavors
This is our first donut together as a married couple
It is chocolate with Almond Biscotti
The number to beat is 5
A 5 out of 5 for this 4 dollar donut
Doughnut plant is the current winner
With a 5 out of 5
Will the chocolate with almond biscotti
Look at the little flakes
The Almond biscotti on top win..
I can't stop looking at the donut
We're going to bite it at the same time
Ready..
Uno, dos, tres
I now pronounce you..
Man and wife..
And donut..
And donut
Mmmm
Fairly fluffy
I like the little biscotti flakes on top
The chocolate cream is very good as well
But it is hard for me to call this the winner
I'm giving this a 4
