Wild Sick and Sophisticated Donuts

Chef Ron's brain refuses to stop inventing new donuts. We plead with him... "Slow down Ron... take a break." But the guy doesn't listen. Shock therapy? Only makes him more creative. You can't stop a crazy chef in a Psycho kitchen. Ron has gone off the rails on three crazy trains this week: Wild, Sick, and Sophisticated. Some say it represents 3 distinct people living in Ron's twisted head, but the verdict is still out on that one. Let's start with Ron's crazy side...

WILD!
It's Psycho Psushi. Hatched from an idea by Psycho fan Patrick Harris and friend Adam Ariza, Psycho Psushi is 4 pieces of donut sushi, served in a bento box, complete with pocky chopsticks (Psycho Pstaff cannot guarantee the chopsticks will physically lift a piece of Psycho Psushi - but you'll have fun trying!). You'll find a Psycho Psushi Bar at both Psycho locations. Psycho Psushi will make it's international debut this weekend (May 28 - 29), in honor of FanimeCon. Check out the world's most amazing Anime convention this weekend at the San Jose Convention Center. And while you're there, Psycho Donuts is just a block east on San Carlos! And now, let's explore Ron's 'best-kept-locked-in-a-closet' personality...

SICK!

It's Rocky Horror this Saturday night, May 28! And along with live cast, Barely Legal, you'll be doing the Time Warp with our Rocky-themed donut - Janet's Panties! Only at Psycho San Jose and Camera 3! Janet's Panties is designed for die-hard Rocky fans. Those of you intimately familiar with Janet's circumstance will appreciate this sick and twisted donutrocity. It's a jelly-filled mess, reflecting Janet's, uh, situation... vividly. Get one only at Psycho San Jose, only Saturday night! If you find this donut utterly repulsive, let's end with Ron's third personality, which is much better suited for mixed company...

SOPHISTICATED!
Starting Memorial Day (Monday, May 30), come try our Strawberry TacOnut. This is a donut you could bring home to your parents - which isn't always characteristic of a Psycho Donut! The Strawberry TacOnut is a glazed donut disguised as a taco shell. This insane taco is jacked up with crazy-fresh strawberries in a light glaze, and then topped with vanilla butter cream. None of that canned fruit stuff around here... these are farm fresh strawberries, cut fresh daily. Come get a Strawberry TacOnut at both Psycho locations, starting on Monday, May 30 - through the entire month of June. And stay tuned for other TacOnut varieties throughout the Psycho Psummer.

Ready for National Donut Day??
Get ready - it's a Psycho Two-Fer for National Donut Day! Pstarting with a Wine and Psycho Donut Pairing event on Friday June 3 at J. Lohr Winery in San Jose. Followed by our National Donut Day Celebration on Saturday June 4 at Psycho Campbell, with Korkaraoke at 10am, and our 2nd Annual Donut Pizza Eating Contest at 1pm. More details in the next edition of The Psycho Buzz!

Crazy Moms, JasoNuts for Fri 13th, and Psycho Winos

Psycho Donuts is going off the rails for your crazy mom! Bring your mom to Psycho Donuts for a strangely memorable Mother's Day.

Chief Psycho's mom loves a Sunday morning Mimosa - where she'll enjoy a real drink before noon - guilt free! This Mother's Day - treat your mom to a MOMosa! Our
Psycho MOMosa is filled with a champage pastry creme, and topped with orange icing, a citris swirl, and rainbow sprinkles. Fancy enough for sophisticated moms, crazy enough for the rest. And for your mother in-law, how about our Arsenic MOMosa (we kid, we kid...).


Maybe mom isn't crazy, but you are (hmm, recessive gene from Dad?). Show mom how crazy you are for her this Mother's Day, with a Mom Tattoo. Not on your arm, Mama's Boy - on our Mother's Day specialty donut!
A Mother's Love is filled with white chocolate and passion-fruit creme, topped with a strawberry icing and a MOM tattoo.


Friday the 13th is quickly approaching. And Psycho Donuts is ready with The JasoNut. In honor of Friday the 13th, our Jason Donut is a blood-filled donut, with a powdered sugar hockey mask on top (you can pretend the blood is raspberry jelly if you'd prefer). Be very scared! Come get your JasoNut starting Monday, May 9.

Our Ballz department is pleased to announce our newest variety of Psycho Ballz. This month, you'll enjoy our
Nutty Ballz. Chocolate cake donut holes, rolled in chocolate icing and chopped peanuts. Nutz and ballz have never been such great company.



And from our Very Vegan Kitchen, donut miss
The Orange Creamsikiller. This orange vegan cake donut is topped with a rich vanilla icing and orange drizzle. Guranteed to transform any contemptuous crazy carnivore into a verifiable villified vegan.


Last weekend, Psycho delivered the world's first pull-apart wine tasting donut to a wine and donut pairing event at Poetic Cellars. The crazy antics were captured on film, by LA film producers, Highlighting Entertainment. Our Psycho Wino was a big hit. Grok this: 4 donut holes fused into one. Pull apart the first piece and pair it with a Chardonnay. The second piece pulls away and is genetically engineered to pair with the Syrah... and so on. Wine pairing will never be the same without a Pull-Apart Psycho Wino on hand!


Press coverage of the Psycho Wino event at Poetic Cellars was rampant. Read about it in the Santa Cruz Sentinel, Patch.com, The Mercury News, The Huffington Post, Zagat.com, and more!
