Their version of a croissant crossed with a doughnut is called a "croughnut" since the NYC chef who created the cronut had the term copyrighted. Seattle Met reports that pastry chef Karen Krol isn't filling hers, but says she is "dusting them in cinnamon sugar and doing various glazes and toppings." [Seattle Met]
