Take the ramen burger, breed it with the Cronut, and what do you get? The ramnut, part ramen, part donut, and arguably, the weirdest Frankenfood to come out of an American kitchen this year.
The culinary creation of UCLA college student Joshua Scherer, the ramnut is the latest food hybrid out of the US that takes inspiration from two viral dishes: the bunless, ramen noodle patty burger which made a wild debut in Brooklyn last year, and the Cronut, pastry chef Dominique Ansel’s croissant-donut mashup which has taken the world by storm.
After cooking the noodles, spreading it out in an even layer and freezing it, Scherer, a 21-year-old political science major, cut out donut shapes and threw the patties into the deep fryer.
All that remained was icing the pseudo-nuts with a variety of flavors and toppings.
But how do they taste?
“They’re starchy, they’re crispy, they’re covered in frosting and stuffed with custard — that’s about all I can tell you,” he wrote on his blog which was a finalist in Saveur magazine Best Food Blog Awards 2014.
The ramnut is just one in a long string of inventive Frankenfoods Scherer has created for his irreverently written, wisecracking blog ‘Culinary Bro-down.’
There’s also Ramen Poutine, Flamin’ Hot Cheetos Burger with Cherry Coke BBQ Sauce, and Funnel Cake burgers that replace buns with Funnel Cakes.
