Tacos and Fries Donutized

Remember when you were a kid; you'd lay in the grass staring at the clouds, calling out interesting shapes? Chief Psycho was that annoying kid calling out, "Round Cake Donut with Cocoa Puffs" or "Buttermilk Bar with Maple and Bacon." The point is, almost anything could be a donut, even a cloud.

What else could be a donut? Or maybe a better question - is there anything that couldn't be a donut?! Let's start with french fries and tacos.

Psycho Donuts is thrilled to announce the re-launch of Donut Fries, v2.0, launching on May 1!  Psycho fans were agitated - almost to the point of restraint - when we discontinued Donut Fries in 2011. Sometimes products need a return trip to the drawing board (or baking table). Case in point - the iPhone is much better now, with a working antenna! With donut fries, we had our own proverbial broken antenna to fix - but Chef Ron has created a tasty new version of Donut Fries that you're gonna love! And as always, you'll have your choice of dipping sauces - either ketchup or mayo (er, jelly or custard - but use your imagination).  Come and get some Donut Fries starting on May 1.

Back in December, we had a contest to see who could create the best Psycho version of Ding Fries are Done - in anticipation of Donut Fries 2.0! Our Psycho Fan (and esteemed Foursquare Mayor) Helen Garcia won the contest with this great rendition of Donut Fries are Done!

Many Psycho fans have been asking when TacOnuts will return for Psycho Pspring Pseason. The time has arrived! Pstarting on Wednesday April 25, it's the return of the Pstrawberry TacOnut! We start with a unique "DonuTaco." Inside the fresh taco shell you'll find a mountain of fresh strawberries topped with vanilla butter cream. Look for other varieties fresh fruit TacOnuts, as their own Psycho Pseason approaches!

And there ya have it - Donut Fries and Pstrawberry TacOnuts! Anything can be donutized! More proof that the meaning of life is donuts... or is it 42?

Who will be the Psycho Eating Champion?

The match is ON! Who will eat a 14" Donut Pizza the fastest? Who will claim victory of the First Annual Psycho Donut Pizza Eating Competition?

Will it be Peter, the child-eating contestant in the Northwest corner? Maybe it'll be Bernd, a man weaned on Nutella and Kinder Surprise Eggs, in the North East Corner? Could the winner be Jasper "Cinnabuns" Deautre, in the South West Corner? And let's not under-estimate toy torturing Brett, in the South East corner.

Rumor has it that a female persuasion may also step up and attempt to make Psycho Donut history. Stay tuned.

All of this and more on Saturday June 5, at National Donut Hangover Day - only at Psycho Donuts. The fun starts at 10am, and the Donut Eating Contest is at 2pm.

And don't forget - this Friday, June 4 - it's National Donut Day at Psycho Donuts. Come get your Psycho Pstrawberry TacOnuts, and Cottonballs in the afternoon!

Contestant #4 is ready to eat!

Peter Shephard is our fourth contestant (victim?) in The Psycho Donut Pizza Eating Competition. Peter is married with a 3 1/2 year old son (sidenote: someone check to make sure the poor kid is not in Peter's stomach; it sure looks like Peter is about to eat this child).

Peter is a Senior Financial Analyst for an EDA (Eating Dysfunctionally Always) company. Even with a BA in Psychology and and MBA from UC Davis, Peter lacks the common sense to avoid attempting to eat a 14" donut pizza in 8 minutes or less. In Peter's own words, "I have many fond memories dating all the way back to swim meets when I was a little kid and buying tasty doughnuts in the snack bars. I discovered Psycho Donuts about a year ago when I heard an interview on KSCU. I promptly went there and became an instant fan and evangelist."

Come see Peter stuff his mouth on Saturday June 5 - at National Donut Hangover Day at Psycho Donuts. Special surprises in the morning... and of course, the Psycho Donut Pizza Eating Competition at 2pm. The winner will receive a hand-signed piece of artwork, from Psycho artist, Simon Salas, along with branded Psycho gear.

And this Friday June 4 - the day which will inflict Donut Hangover Day - is National Donut Day at Psycho Donuts. We'll be serving up Psycho Pstrawberry TacOnuts in honor of this important American holiday. And we'll also be making Psycho Cottonballs (donut hole shishkabobs, wrapped in cotton candy, before your eyes) on Friday afternoon.

Hope to see you, as the crazy fun continues at Psycho Donuts!

Contest #3 and Donuts of the Week

The First Annual Psycho Donut Pizza Eating Competition (PDPEC?) is only 6 days away. Don't miss it! This Saturday (6/5/10) at 2pm, at Psycho Donuts.

Contestant #3 was made to be around Psycho Donuts. Since the age of 8, Brett has enjoyed working in a Toy Factory in Fresno. In his own words, "There my father and I would spent countless hours, testing, preparing and inspecting each toy as it passed on the line. Everything went perfect, aside from the countless 'accidental' deaths that ocurred. Business as usual. Until...

When our economy decided to take a fall, we decided to close the factory down. Many workers were upset and threatened to reveal us for 'what we really are'. We shipped one last line of toys called Insignifi-Bears, with realistic human-like faces. This was our most profitable line, but so bitter-sweet.

I ended up with thousands of stuffed toys, but no real friends. In time, they became my friends, my enemies and my ... well, you get the picture. Depicted here is an image of me having so much fun with my friends. No animals were harmed in the making of these photos, just stuffed ones."

I think you'll agree that Brett (aka 'Retch,') belongs at Psycho Donuts... maybe permanently. Watch him try to out-eat his competitors this coming Saturday - as they each battle their own 14" Donut Pizza demon, in 8 minutes or less!

And now, it's time to announce the Psycho Donuts of the Week. Each week, another demented atrocity for your joyful ingestment (ingestmest could be a word...).

The Vegan Department at Psycho Donuts is giddy to announce the Nutty Vegan. Who knew vegans could find something so tasty to eat? This vegan donut is topped with Nutter Butter cookies and peanut butter. Om, peace, shanti... No animals or dairy products were killed in the making of this donut.

The Un-Vegan Department at Psycho Donuts is proud to announce the Pink Panda this week. This chocolate cake donut is topped with strawberry icing, and Strawberry Hello Panda cookies.

And speaking of Strawberries - the Psycho Pstrawberry TacOnut is the most amazing donut on the planet! Come get one on Memorial Day, when we'll be topping our TacOnuts with blueberries and whipped cream. What a great way to be patriotic inside and out! If you miss them on Memorial Day, you can still get one next week.

Speaking of which - Friday June 4 is National Donut Day. We'll be serving up Pstrawberry TacOnuts the whole weekend. And we'll also be making Psycho Cottonballs on Friday afternoon... Donut Holes... cotton candy... skewers... got it?

And on Saturday June 5- it's National Donut Hangover Day at Psycho Donuts. Special surprises in the morning... and of course, it's the Donut Pizza Eating Competition at 2pm. The winner will receive a hand-signed piece of artwork, from Psycho artist, Simon Salas, along with branded Psycho gear.

Don't miss all the fun; join us for some Crazy Good times at Psycho Donuts!

Contestant #2 Gearing Up for Donut Eatin'

Meet contestant #2 in our Inaugural Psycho Donut Pizza Eating Contest - which takes place on Saturday June 5 at 2pm - at Psycho Donuts. Come watch as four contestants battle for donut domination, as they ingest their way quickly through a 14" Donut Pizza fit for Homer.

Jasper Deautre was was born a StarTrooper in New Orleans (just kidding; Jasper is probably the other guy in the photo; although I'd love to see a Star Trooper in our competition). After spending most of his childhood years eating beignets, he moved out west and had his first "so-called" donut in Chinatown. It was such a bad experience that he cursed the heavens and almost moved back to the south. But as luck would have it, he discovered glazed donuts and has been in lust ever since. He says with a straight face, "my love for donuts almost led me to a career in law enforcement. I kid you not."

Mr. Deautre claims to be employed as a male stripper named "Sinna-Buns," but I donut believe it.

Come to Psycho Donuts Memorial Day weekend. We'll be serving up Psycho Pstrawberry TacOnuts all weekend. Is it a donut or a taco? That's for you to decide.

And donut miss our First Annual Psycho Donut Pizza Eating Competition - June 5, at 2pm!

The Psycho TacOnut. Taco or Donut?

Question: what do you get when you mix a dog with a horse? A Dorse (of Corse). Now that you get our crazy game of wordplay -- what do you get when you mix a taco with a donut? A TacOnut. Or in this case, our outrageous new Psycho Pstrawberry TacOnut!

This is a donut game-changer. We should change our name to Brilliant Donuts (it might even make some unnamed groups happy)! And by way of brilliant illustration, we point your attention deficit disorder to the edible delectable, stage left.

Since we've already donutized burgers, fries, and pizzas - it was time to take our donutizing south of the border. But Mexico has never seen a taco like ours (¿Qué es eso, Jose?) It's a donut-taco shell, with a hint of cinnamon and sugar. Inside you'll find super-fresh strawberries in a refreshing strawberry glacé. What's a glacé? It's a bourgeois substitution for a seriously killer strawberry glaze.

So you think you're gonna just stop by Psycho Donuts and buy one? Nice try. Getting a TacOnut will take some strategic planning and a bit of luck. We will initially introduce TacOnuts over Memorial Day weekend (May 29 -31). You'll find our TacOnut to be dressed patriotically at this time... Word of advice. Early.

You can also get a TacOnut on National Donut Day (Friday, Jun 4), or at our Donut Hangover Day Event and Donut Eating Contest (Saturday, June 5). Learn more about these fun and unusual events on our Facebook page, and find out about our CottonBall donuts, and our Homey Donut Pizza Eating Contest!

Wanna compete in our donut eating contest? Follow us on Facebook or Twitter to learn how. The winner will receive a signed piece of insane art from Psycho artist, Simon Salas, along with other Psycho prizes.
