CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Just because Oktoberfest is canceled doesn't mean you still can't celebrate!
Stan’s Donuts & Coffee is giving people a way to celebrate the beloved German holiday this year, with a twist. Donut guru and Stan’s ‘Chief Doughboy’, Rich Labriola, has created the world’s first pretzel donut.
“We’ve been working on this for a few years now, trying different variations to find the perfect balance between sweet and savory," Labriola said. “As someone who has been baking and working with pretzels and donuts my entire life, I’m excited for our fans to sink their teeth into what I know is the ultimate pretzel donut.”
