If the sound of this multi-element sugar-laden dessert leaves you salivating you’re in good company, according to co-owner of Elwood Eatery’s Ben Allcock.

One half of the twins behind the Smoking Brothers, Mr Allcock said Orange diners have a taste for foods which are a bit different. He said this is what’s allowed them to make fries out of donuts and turn it into a popular dessert.

“We wanted to do something to suit the summer, a lot of people are doing milkshakes and we prefer to try to do things which are new, fresh and innovative,” he said.

Since introduced to the menu at the start of December the donut fries have been a hit, now rivalling another big, sweet treat – Elwood’s banana split with peanut butter and jelly waffle – in popularity.

While inspiration for the Lords Place eatery’s main menu comes from the southern-style barbeque in the US, Mr Allcock said the kitchen has celebrity chefs and cooking shows to thank for Australia’s growing palet for creative desserts.
