cronut

The cronut made chef Dominique Ansel a star; it also shaped the food scene in New York City and beyond.

People started lining up at 5:30 a.m. for the pastry chef's weekend-long residency at Dominque Ansel bakery.

Ready to feel old? This pastry was born in 2013.

There were huge lines outside Williamsburg's Bagel Store this weekend for the Rainbow Bagel.

In the two-and-a-half years since it debuted, the pastry still has staying power.

The chef is creating more Instagram-worthy dishes like the EGG-clipse and a croissant flavored with garlic butter.

Dominique Ansel, God of Cronuts, has forged from his gimmicky lair something so utterly inane that it will of course be snapped up by the hoarding masses in no time.

City Bakery owner Maury Rubin has some thoughts on The Cronut, too.

Spoiler alert: it's a lot.
