Extreme foods are nothing new. Remember KFC's Double Down of 2010? But this year restaurant chains took the concept to a new level. "We've seen operators from different segments roll out buzzworthy food mash-ups that shock and delight curious customers," says Laura McGuire of food research firm Technomic. Case in point: the cronut (see above)—a doughnut/croissant hybrid. Whether these items left you drooling or repulsed, extreme food items keep restaurant concepts top of mind by generating news. We took a look at seven of them from the past year.
极端食品并不是什么新事物。还记得肯德基(KFC)在2010年推出的双层炸鸡汉堡(Double Down)吗？但在今年，连锁餐厅业把这项概念推向了一个新高度。“我们看到不同领域的运营商推出引发热议的混搭食物，让好奇心重的客户备受震撼，惊喜不已，”食品研究公司Technomic的劳拉•麦圭尔说。一个恰当的例证是cronut（上图所示）：一种把甜甜圈和羊角面包混合在一起的食物。无论这些极端食品是让你垂涎三尺，还是恶心不已，它们总是能够成为新闻，让你牢牢记住蕴含于其中的餐饮理念。现在，我们就一起来回顾一下过去一年最具代表性的7种极端食品。
Glazed Donut Breakfast Sandwich
Chain: Dunkin' Donuts
Can't decide between an egg sandwich or a glazed doughnut in the morning? Dunkin' Donuts (DNKN) solved this eternal struggle for breakfast lovers in 2013 with the creation of its Glazed Donut Breakfast Sandwich, comprised of bacon and a pepper-fried egg nestled between two sides of a glazed doughnut. Dunkin' started testing the doughnut-sandwich combo in the Boston area before rolling it out nationally. It became a permanent menu item in June on--of course--National Donut Day.
Notable Review: "This thing comes in at a scant 360 calories. A bacon egg 'n cheese croissant packs a whopping 480. It is borderline nutritionally irresponsible NOT to eat this thing."

釉面甜甜圈早餐三明治
连锁餐厅：唐恩都乐
一大早不知道是吃鸡蛋三明治，还是吃釉面甜甜圈？唐恩都乐（Dunkin' Donuts）在2013年推出了釉面甜甜圈早餐三明治——釉面甜甜圈夹熏腌肉和辣椒炒鸡蛋——解决了这样一个让早餐爱好者永远都难以抉择的难题。唐恩都乐首先在波士顿地区试销这款由甜甜圈和三明治组合而成的食品，随后推向了全国。6月份，它成为一个固定的菜单选项，上菜单的日子当然选在了全国甜甜圈日那天。
精彩评论：“这种食物的热量仅为360卡路里。一个熏腌肉鸡蛋奶酪羊角面包的卡路里含量高达480。从营养角度来看，不吃这玩意简直是不负责任的表现。”
