Sidecar Doughnuts & Coffee Kicks off 2nd Annual Chef Series
Sidecar Doughnuts & Coffee kicks off their 2019 Chef Series. Each month a celebrated chef will be invited into the Sidecar kitchen to create their signature Sidecar doughnut. The series will include James Beard Award winners and nominees, StarChef Rising Star Award recipients, and the chef behind one of Food & Wine Magazine’s 2018 Restaurants of the Year.
The 2019 Sidecar Chef Series just launched with Elizabeth Belkind of LA’s Cake Monkey with a portion of proceeds going to Ghetto Rescue and continues with a different chef collaboration for every month through the end of the year. Belkind's doughnut (above) is called Monkey Munchie and it's a raised doughnut topped with banana-caramel glaze, coconut crumble (from Belkind's own recipe!), a caramel drizzle, and Maldon Sea Salt.
Each guest chef’s flavor will be featured for one month only at all Sidecar locations, with a portion of proceeds going to a charity of the chef’s choosing. Each month’s chef-designed flavor will be announced on the first of the month - along with the rest of Sidecar’s monthly flavors – on Sidecar’s social media channels.
