Holey Doughnuts, Batman

The icing on the cake doughnut for Glazed and Infused, the doughnut shop from Francesca’s puppet master Scott Harris, is that it will actually be three doughnut shops:

• At the corner of Halsted and Fulton Market in the West Loop
• At a window on the Damen Avenue side of Francesca’s Forno (1576 N. Milwaukee Ave.; 773-770-0184) in Wicker Park
• Near the Armitage Brown Line stop in Lincoln Park

The Wicker Park window and the West Loop location open in mid-March. “The West Loop will be our main commissary,” says Megan Brown, who runs operations for Glazed and Infused. Tom Culleeney, a former executive chef at Krispy Kreme, and Christine McCabe, a Charlie Trotter’s alumna and former Bon Appétit pastry chef of the year, are dreaming up the toric delights, seven to ten varieties of which will be available at a time. Tentative flavors include Milk Chocolate Malt, Crème Brûlée, and Coconut Crunch. Coffee will be Intelligentsia. At the Lincoln Park and West Loop locations, the café-style décor will evoke the era of World War II. “We are identifying with Rosie the Riveter,” Brown says. “Our floor managers will be the Rosies, and the server-type gals we will call the Rosebuds. We associate with that generation where women worked to keep America going.” A time of working toward shared goals where all workers pull their weight. On second thought, we don’t want to think about how much weight we’re pulling in the context of doughnuts.
