it was the best episode ever look at
that and maybe the best one
hi i'm josh
hi molly
and today we are going to be trying the
jolly best donuts in london
including
a mystery michelin star donut
i've chosen
a collection of what i believe are the
best donuts in london and one of them
comes from a michelin starred restaurant
slash donut maker so one of them is the
dough's nuts
all right first up ollie
donut time oh
baby oh yeah oh that's a beautiful sight
the donut time is growing all over
london they have taken ownership of one
of the four dimensions and claimed it
for donut
time it's time one of the doors i know
we're in a 4d world are we
back to donuts their most classic is
just called the og
original glazed the og
[Music]
original glaze yeah
yeah wow you've gone for two bites we
have a lot of donuts to try there's
probably like 30 donuts for us to try
drying everything we're trying all of
them i can't try all of that yeah no
don't worry about it no i am worried
i'm already worrying about it og what do
you think yeah i mean
10 out of 10. 10 out of 10. that's a
strong start if you start 10 there's no
way we can go but down i mean we can't
you can fly straight through the hundred
percent exactly you need more of an
imagination josh all right second donut
we have is called the dolt nut because
it looks like the donut from the
simpsons
yeah i like this one less already
okay
similar but more fruity don't eat the
whole thing
what do you think
it's good not ten out of ten nine and a
half wow
ten ten out of ten oh my gosh wow next
up we have the gordon jamsie oh look at
that
jam in the middle jammy dodger on top
[Music]
oh my gosh wow that's very sweet maybe
too much four out of ten four out of ten
it's the first one i didn't want a
second bite okay i'll take your verdict
you're the donut connoisseur next up
bread ahead located in borough market
they're going to have to do a lot to
beat the original from donuts to get
ahead i would say off of the ogs wow oh
yeah it's like they read my mind
i'm already impressed okay
i think you're gonna like these ollie
there's one specifically that i think
you're gonna really like there's a
honeycomb involved how do you know
how did you know you're a match made in
here
all right here we have this
you're right that's
their original vanilla cookies and cream
salted caramel and honeycomb heck yeah
and then blackcurrant cheesecake swirl
okay we're getting too experimental here
bread has steamed too far ahead well i
don't know all right should we start
with the the vanilla original
look at that this is so hard to not just
eat all of every single one
[Music]
oh baby
oh
that vanilla cream oh my i think it's a
step ahead that's better than the
original place it's an eleven eleven out
of ten
oh wow you finished that as well taste
yourself stay over get out the honeycomb
wowzers trousers salted caramel
honeycomb this looks really good as well
okay
[Music]
huh
salt and cream don't go well together
i should love that by all accounts i
also i'm not sure that salted caramel
and honeycomb go well together that's
almost bread behind
all right cookies and cream yeah you try
it and i will trust your opinion okay
okay because i know that i'm not going
to love this
cookies and cream doughnut
not as good yes
enough made a good decision that current
one got try it okay no
wow hints of cheesecake that's not bad
better than cookies and cream or
honeycomb the vanilla was the best i'm
pretty certain that donut time doesn't
have a mission to start bread ahead i
mean it's 11 out of 10. ollie it's 11
out of 10 but michigan star is like a
thousand out of ten i don't think that's
a mission start right now okay okay i'm
not going to tell you now
he's trying to pick up cues
all right next up crosstown
wow okay oh baby points for presentation
oh baby does that not look good yeah
heck yes it does oh my gosh look at that
i would say the middle one in particular
looks least appealing to me okay but
it's probably most michelin worthy
because the michelin places they love
the presentation
michelin meals as far as i'm aware yeah
they're like the olympic gymnasts of
meals most people when they get to the
end of their work day they just pick up
their bag and leave olympic gymnasts
when they get to the end of their
routine
okay yeah i see i see what you're right
here we have the tongan vanilla bean
glaze we have the sri lankan cinnamon
sugar how did tongans and sri lankans
feel about this
were they insulted i don't know i didn't
ask and then we have the peanut butter
and blackcurrant compote you excited
about that i mean to those names and you
know it has the opposite effect
it has the opposite effect on me i liked
it when i opened it and now i'm like oh
if they just call that that gee yeah it
would have been that's good you want
short and simple glazed cinnamon okay
peanut butter and jam okay should we try
the great let's do it first up okay i'm
excited about the glazed tongan vanilla
bean glaze
[Music]
next up we've got the sri lankan
cinnamon sugar let's try it i mean to me
that just looks like sawdust on there ah
oh that's not good
[Laughter]
it's like you dropped a bagel into some
cinnamon
a baby
that's a bit harsh i thought the tongue
was dry but the sri lankans are
absolutely freaking living
look this peanut butter one's got real
peanuts on the top got a well of jam in
the middle or should i say berry compote
there's already one meal look at that
[Applause]
all right all right come to my pot okay
[Music]
extremely strong it's like a peanut
butter and jam sandwich but in sweet
donut form i like that it's better than
either of these than any of the others
i'd say that's a sort of there out there
seven i'm not going to change your life
really okay ross down
not that impressed definitely doesn't
have a mission start oh if it does you
think so the michelin man just got
carried away okay late at night probably
had a few too many drinks i was like
this is the best donut i've ever had
give it one of my stars and they're like
you literally don't have many of those
they're super exclusive and he's like
give it to them
next up we have sun john bakery is this
the point where it becomes weird there's
like a pork donut it doesn't look like
there's going to be bacon in one of
these donuts doesn't there you can
actually get savory donuts i've avoided
them for today what we have here some
john's bakeries vanilla jam and
chocolate donuts firstly no big fancy
names they don't look fancy they're
exuding confident cheers mate vanilla
[Music]
all that vanilla isn't that good that's
really good
[Music]
that is you just had a second bite
straight up dare i say it that is a step
above it's gone ahead of bread ahead
it's got way ahead of red ahead
ironically bread ahead is now bred
behind i guess bread ahead is behind me
the dough is so fluffy the cream is like
the perfectly not too sweet but sweet
enough honestly that's legitimately
really really good that's the best we've
had so far by quite a long way maybe the
best donut i've ever had maybe genuinely
the jam donut
you going for the little saucy bit on
top yeah you are okay
oh my god i've got 100 jam
jam is way too strong i want more of the
bread it's oozing jam look at that it
felt like a fancy jam but i don't know
if i want a fancy jam in my doughnut you
know that was too sweet well let's see
how the chocolate compares
[Music]
oh wow
it's honestly like
wow that's like a restaurant dessert
that they just stuffed inside a donut
genuinely thing is it's just a little
bit too rich for me i mean i could
easily hold one of them front runner so
far i don't know what you got coming up
but if i had to call it right now i
would say this one has a mission star
since that one was your favorite so far
i thought maybe now is the time to
compare it against krispy kreme they are
the standard bearer they are all of our
friends know i like krispy kremes so
back when we had birthday parties and
stuff people often used to buy a box of
krispy kremes and bring them over it was
always bittersweet right
because
in trying to be kind yeah they would get
variety they were killing me with that
kindness because i hate
the fans i hate the fancy stuff i just
want the original i'm not gonna lie we
actually ordered a six box of original
glazed and they just they just delivered
us this
i i know i knew that's what we wanted
you know
that makes me feel really good
why
yeah yeah i do know i do
who knew a flipping donut episode
couldn't contain this much bromance
cheers it's the original
oh that's good that's good i'm a bit
worried now why because is this one of
those weird things where you're like
back in 1953 crispy green was awarded
the first michelin star
by the michelin man
the reason i gave that to you back to
back with your favorite was to compare
it's definitely better than everything
except for the one that we just saw the
the pig the pig meat one the pig meat
once in john's bakery jason johnson
it's between that and john's that has
been a very sweet doughy adventure
through london's donuts it's decision
time firstly what's the best secondly
which one had a mission in style i think
it's between donut time st john's pick
and
krispy kreme ollie i just put that in
there as like a control you know in like
a scientific experiment you need a
control these two are at least on par
i think you are a maniacal krispy kreme
family
if anything then you're saying your
favorable rating of this is is actually
a big statement yeah they've done very
well it's an amazing tribute
i would say it's on par oh okay i'd say
it's a step above but i'll take your
rating i'll take it at some point okay
okay
the pig bakery though yes holy freaking
balls pig
nuts
it's the dose nuts do we have a winner
it actually isn't really a comparison in
fact i would bet
quite a lot that that has a mission
stuff that is the michelin star
yes
some john bakery i think there's a
couple around london and they produce
a hell of a donor if at some point the
world can travel again when you come to
london and want to try a very good donut
check out and in the meantime
we'll see you jolly soon
see you later
hi my name is louisa i'm originally from
iceland but living in manchester right
