The first rainy day in NOLA of the new year. What better way to start the morning than with a visit to Lakeview's finest, District Donuts Sliders & Brew. They were pretty busy this morning, but the young man at the register was pleasant with everyone he encountered. Now, seeing as though it's rainy out, you would think that coffee would be the obvious choice, right? Well, in the spirit of being unpredictable, I opted out of the warm, soothing beverage and got my all time go to: the Hot Chicken & Honey Butter French Toast Biscuit! Let me tell you, this breakfast sandwich has had me in a chokehold since the first time I tried it back in May 2021. District Donuts understands the assignment EVERY SINGLE TIME with this one! 10/10 for the chicken - it was seasoned and fried to perfection. If you don't like dark meat, I'm sorry that you are missing out on this deliciousness. It's a nice flavorful chicken thigh that is the perfect partner to the honey biscuit.
Full disclosure: if someone would have told me that I would have found a honey biscuit better than Church's Chicken, I wouldn't have believed you; but this biscuit right here: OH. MY. GOD. It gives Church's a run for their money. I can rave on and on about this masterpiece, but I think it's something you need to experience for yourself.
In addition to the sweet & savory sandwich, I also decided to add on 2 donuts to my tab. A traditional glazed (because DUH!) and of course I had to get the King Cake donut in the spirit of carnival time in the Big Easy! The guy at the register told me it is super popular and one of the best sellers during the season. I haven't tried it yet, but it is a king cake glaze, king cake filling topped with tri-color sugar and topped with a little king cake baby. Honestly, even if I don't like it (which I highly doubt) it is the cutest donut ever.
All in all, if you're in Lakeview, or around any of the other 5 locations across the Greater New Orleans area, and looking for good coffee and a mouthwatering hot chicken & honey butter French toast biscuit, look no further than District Donuts.
