Umami Burger's Donut Ice Cream Sandwiches is Desgined to Destroy Diets

— October 10, 2013 — Lifestyle
Umami Burger is taking fair food to the masses with its new donut ice cream sandwiches. The California burger chain, which also has locations in New York City, is now offering ice cream from L.A. Creamery Ice Cream sandwiched between donuts from Stan’s Donuts in Westwood, California. Three varieties of this decadent dessert are available, including one option that eschews donuts in favor of cinnamon rolls.

The Internet has given rise to some pretty wacky and occasionally unhealthy foods. The restaurant industry has responded in kind, offering its own creative dishes, such as these donut ice cream sandwiches that appeal directly to those who grew up in the Internet age. The new sandwiches are available now and sell for $8 in NYC and for $6 in southern California.
