    Should I get up at the crack of dawn and go downtown to get one?

    The donut shop in downtown SD has a similar one. Its good, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat it. But, the Kouign Amman (they are called DKA at the Cronut guy's shop) is amazing. My wife and I made some a couple of weeks ago and were pretty good, but obviously not as good as his. Its basically a croissant, but in between the layers is sugar, then when it is baked it caramelizes. Its way better than the imitation Cronuts I've had.

    That depends. How hot is Dawn, and does her crack smell funny?

    The answer is "no".

    Just wait until the hype dies down and try it. Its a donut/crossaint mix..unless you're like a raving donut fan its a huge waste of time.

    I'm sure the hype will die down, but he said he isn't going to start making many more per day. So with only 350 cronuts a day in NYC, they're always going to be in short supply. I still say go later in the day and get the DKA and then get an imitation on somewhere else.
