Some people have told me that Dunkin is a religion. As someone who's lived primarily on the West Coast, I had the fortune of visiting my first Dunkin' Donut location. The location did not look like a traditional Dunkin', matter of fact it looked like a bank that was converted into a Dunkin' but walking in, you could instantly smell the sweetness. It was ever so strong. My colleague ordered a Boston Creme donut with custard filling and to his chagrin, it was shaped like a pumpkin and miniaturized. He was not too happy. I knew that being a vegan, there was not going to be a chance for me to have a vegan donut and that's okay but I felt ever so lucky to notice in the upper right corner of the breakfast that Avocado toast is available. Thankfully, I had internet access and had to verify what my eyes saw. I surely did not want to be deceived. I didn't want to fall victim to the vegan mirage from a distance.
Verified on Google and on Dunkin's website that the Avocado toast is vegan, and I ordered with minimal expectations. It was placed in a box that was in a bag and I opened it to see this concoction in its full splendor.
Granted Chef Gordon Ramsey would not have approved of the presentation but speaking honestly, over the whole of today, Wednesday, this Avocado toast from Dunkin' was the single best thing I ate today and that includes stops at Gabriele's Bar & Grill Piscataway, NJ and Scalini Fedeli in Chatham. Those reviews are coming, and boy they will be extra juicy. Make sure to have your bowl of popcorn ready. Woohee!
The avocado toast has your run-of-the-mill guacamole but the everything seasoning on the top with a lightly toasted slice of bread was just Goldilocks. It hit the spot.
For all my friends, If you happen upon a Dunkin' and want something besides a donut or their coffee, Avocado toast may be for you. Everyone else can run on Dunkin', I'll take the avocado toast every day of the week. Yum! read more
