The conversation revolves around a comparison of three different donuts from three different establishments: Blinkie's Donuts, The Church Key, and Birdies. The hosts, Andrew and Adam, along with Steven, taste each donut and discuss their unique flavor profiles and preparation methods.
At Blinkie's Donuts, they serve a popular glazed donut made from simple yeast donut dough, fried, and glazed with regular glaze icing. The donut is described as being fluffy and gentle, with a rich flavor.
The Church Key serves a Brioche doughnut with a brown butter glaze. The process of making the donut involves proofing the dough, cutting it out, frying it, and then glazing it with brown butter, powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla. The hosts describe the donut as being dense and powerful, with a strong salty flavor from the brown butter.
Birdies serves a chocolate cake donut filled with strawberry jam and topped with Nutella and a champagne glaze, which is then covered in gold leaf. The donut is described as being very dense and moist, with a strong alcoholic back taste from the champagne glaze.
After tasting all three donuts, the hosts agree that Blinkie's basic glazed donut is the most worth it at its price point. The gold-covered donut from Birdies is also praised for its unique experience, but the hosts ultimately decide that Blinkie's is the overall winner of the "Worth It" award.
