Occasionally, readers ask why I stopped writing the “Junk Food of the Month,” a once popular part of this site. I just fell out of the practice two or three diets ago.

But today I am happy to report having seen, and consumed Top Pot’s new Elvis Doughnut.

It’s “a raised sugar doughnut with a maple cream frosting and studded with caramelized bacon bits.” It’s only at Top Pot’s Belltown location, and only there today.

It’s not as gross as it sounds. It’s quite good, in fact. It’s like a sweet bacon pancake at room temperature.

A Portland shop offers a similar product on its regular menu. Would Top Pot consider this as a regular offering? Maybe if you ask hard and often enough.
