| - Although I am not a police officer, nor do I belong to the fraternal order of police, I give to their yearly fundraisers and support their efforts.This somehow afflicts me with having a strange attraction towards round, cream filled pucks of risen and fried dough. Combine that with an already strange recurring need for pork of all kinds, bacon in particular, and I just had to give the Stownut Donut & Diner a try!
The Lobster Benedict caught my eye. No bacon, but I am trying to work on my addictions, and lobster is a good place to start. Overall, the dish was okay. The lobster meat was still cool but It did have some decent flavor, the hollandaise sauce stayed together and cutting through the dish I found the eggs atop were still a little runny. Not bad. The touch with the spinach was nice. I did end up trying the bacon and it had a good flavor and was meaty enough to pass for something other than nitrate covered cellophane.
Perhaps the most disappointing aspect of the meal was the potatoes. The inconsistent cut made the larger pieces quite firm with the smaller ones being just about right. The pancakes were a bit too bread-like for my taste.
The service I received was good and, yes, I tried the donuts! The glazed delights are a good size with great flavor and the bavarian cream in some of them is quite nice, indeed!
So, if you ever find yourself involved in a multi-jurisdictional popo-paluza and need a distraction that'll keep the bears off your tail, take a swing by Stownut. The combination of the donuts and the bacon will not only save yours, it might actually get you an invitation to the ball!
