Crabby Jack’s fried green tomato topped with shrimp remoulade. Yes sir! Perfect combo of hot/cold for those warmer days, and a softer, substantial French loaf. 10/10.

Visited the king cake glory hole for a Balboni’s Cannoli King Cake. Very cream filled. Very glorious. Much tradition. 15/10. Best surprise in my mouth this year.

Closing out our king cake party with Tee’s (@teescateringandpas on the gram). A DELICIOUS and dense full traditional. Look her up and support local yall. 12/10.

New (to me) top tier. Joe’s Donuts traditional with cream cheese. Whole thing: glazed, just like your mom. 12/10 it’s like a festive donut. What’s not to like?

What’s that? A savory king cake from Blue Oak stuffed with pulled pork stuffed in buttery bread with a dill dipper to boot. 14/10

Hi Do cream cheese. Absolutely incredible. Very little cinnamon, dense cake, sugar icing, like a god damn donut. 12/10

Prob not enough caffeine.

Another staple popped up in the office. Incredibly solid 9/10, I just prefer Manny Randazzo’s thanks to the heavier citrus.

The nontraditional GOAT is back after 3 years: The Donut Hole in Laplace serving up the most fire donut-inspired cake and the lightest whipped cream icing on the planet. Absolute 15/10, worth the drive to LaPlace.

More like a king cadonut, but I’m not mad at the suggestion.

**NEW REVIEW**
McKenzie’s, famous for their buttermilk drops, is doing a buttermilk drop king cake. Exceptional. A buttermilk drop for those not in NO is a cakey, very dense donut, with lightly creamy icing. It’s obviously improved by arranging into a cake and adding festive sugar. 8/10

Hit up the hands down traditional GOAT today at Manny Randazzo’s. Drove last and there was no line so… absolute 10/10. Light, fluffy, low cinnamon, hint of citrus, and absolutely bangin’ icing.

Office also supplied a Haydel’s traditional stuffed with cream cheese. It’s cream cheese day, I guess. 8/10 only because I liked the cream cheese ratio on Adrian’s better. One of my favorites for sure.

Office king cakes are already rolling. Adrian’s Bakery (Paris Avenue) with a STRONG traditional stuffed with cream cheese. 9/10. Cake was delightfully light, cream cheese was just enough. Icing was just sweet enough.
