Parlor Doughnuts – Donut Layered Perfection  

Trey Chapman Chow
Here’s one for ya! Donut Deliciousness!
Counter service at Parlor.

Parlor Doughnuts is a craft doughnut and coffee shop offering an array of unique bakery items, including their original layered doughnuts. They offer vegan, gluten-friendly, and keto-friendly products, as well as artisanal breakfasts and specialty coffee. Their goal is to efficiently deliver a superior product, at a moderate price, with exceptional service, in a comfortable setting.

That’s why Trey’s Chow Down is BACK at Parlor for possibly some of the BEST DOUGHNUTS I’ve tasted in the USA. We’ve made it to 24 states on our MEETS, EATS & SWEETS Tour, and Parlor is truly a donut of LAYERED PERFECTION. Parlor uses a different and unique technique to create their signature donuts.

It’s the individual layers in their doughnuts that make them so special – Parlor dough is layered with butter, making it flakier than the average doughnut. Beyond their amazing dough, they work hard to offer an incredible selection of over 20 flavors. For this reason, they believe you will leave their shop saying, “This is the best doughnut I have ever had… PERIOD!” I do agree with that, and with the perfect layers combined with the variety of favors and fillings offered, there’s really nothing quite like it.

Please see my FOX NETWORK special from Early 2022

Because everything tastes better with a little background, here is the story of Parlor’s Doughnuts…

For centuries, the “parlor” was the special room in the house where people came together to talk and where exceptional things happened.  It was usually the best-furnished room in the home where families could comfortably receive their guests.

While the origin of the doughnut can be traced back to the early 1800’s, their popularity grew during WWI when volunteers (known as Doughnut Lassies) prepared doughnuts and coffee for soldiers on the front lines. The doughnuts provided comfort, a brief reprise from battle, and reminded them of home.

Information – https://www.parlordoughnuts.com

Parlor Doughnuts was founded by Darrick Hayden, in partnership with Josh Tudela, in February of 2019. Darrick traveled the states extensively with his son’s band for several years.  During those years, Darrick would seek out the area’s best doughnuts and coffee. His appreciation of good doughnuts grew, as his son’s appreciation for great coffee grew.  With his son Noah, the two launched a coffee shop in 2015 named Proper Coffee, which flourished, and gave birth to the concept of Parlor Doughnuts.

The concept for Parlor Doughnuts grew out of the Hayden’s travel, exposure, and the desire to create a new path for the doughnut experience.  Layered dough was the clear choice for this unique doughnut shop experience.  Parlor offers their signature “Layered Doughnut”, which sets them apart from the traditional cake or yeast style. Along with this unique style of doughnut, Parlor seeks to offer something for everyone by offering vegan/gluten-friendly, and a keto friendly doughnut, along with a special doughnut for all the pups out there, with their Doggie Doughnut. The brand has expanded to offer breakfast items such as acai bowls, avocado toast, breakfast sandwiches and tacos.  And of course, specialty coffee.

In February 2019, the dynamic combination of unique doughnuts and great coffee launched in Evansville, IN in a niche little downtown shop. The community’s support exploded, exceeding all expectations. Less than a year later, Parlor Doughnuts opened an expansive location on Evansville’s east side, including a large dining area, drive-thru service, and on-site coffee roastery. Additional shops have now opened throughout the country (view our locations here).

Parlor Donuts is a new official Trey’s Chow Down Delicious destination for all donut lovers to enjoy.

Gorgeous Thompson Hotel Riverwalk (San Antonio)

Trey Chapman Travel Experiences

Howdy Y’all!

Refreshing Craft Cocktail.

It’s travel time again with Trey’s Chow Down Road Trip’in the USA for creative chefs, deliciousness and unique travel destinations. Today we’re at the gorgeous Thompson Hotel on the RIVERWALK in downtown San Antonio, Texas.

When we heard about this beautiful hotel offering fantastic views overlooking the Riverwalk and downtown, we had to give them a visit. The Thompson is NEW to San Antonio, opening in the middle of 2021, but the classy, cozy and vibrant atmosphere makes it feel as if it has been there forever.

It’s truly impressive, rising above the Riverwalk for an elevated experience in this cultural epicenter. They offer stunning, unmatched skyline vistas, cozy and refined guest rooms, creative culinary delights, and incredible service. You can immersive yourself in the cool nightlife from the rooftop lounge, The Moon’s Daughter, or pony up to the bar and enjoy a Texas-whiskey while you enjoy the splendid San Antonio skyline.

My favorite option was enjoying cocktails on the pool deck in our private cabana overlooking the river walk. The pool area is amazing, with an overall feel of elegance with rich textures and beautiful colors. You can jump into the pool and enjoy the water right from your private cabana. Just perfect!

The hotel is perfectly positioned over the northern Riverwalk neighborhood, where we watched a boat parade float by at dusk. The lights from the boats beaming off the water and bouncing off the sides of the River Walk were gorgeous.

The incredible Spa Like Bathroom. (So Relaxing)

There are many rooms available and each one will make you feel like a king or queen. We enjoyed a suite complete with a living room, bar area and an incredible bathroom with a spa tube. The staff and room service were perfect; they made us feel like old friends. If you’re looking for a nice little getaway, I would highly recommend a suite for a weekend. You will thank me later!

The chef-driven culinary offerings are plenty! Everything is created and prepared in-house by a talented chef with a first-class culinary team. This isn’t your grandma’s cooking. You will fall in love with the creative, unique and unforgettable flavor profiles they offer. Using fresh, locally-sourced ingredients, vegetables and spices, each dish I tried was colorful, loaded with flavor and delicious. I couldn’t find anything they offer that wasn’t pure culinary perfection.

Located close to the historic Texas Alamo, the San Antonio Museum of Art, and the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts, the River Walk and plenty of shopping you just can’t go wrong. If you’re looking for a new elevated experience that will immerse you in style, elegance, and a culinary wonderland with stunning views I would highly recommend a visit to the THOMPSON HOTEL SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS.  

Easily 10 Hats out of 10 for a perfect score. They’re an officially APPROVED Trey’s Chow Down Travel destination for all food and travel seekers to enjoy!

Nightlight Donut Perfection #Worthit

Trey Chapman Chow

Small Business Wednesday – Spotlighting Locally Owned Small Businesses We Discover!

Nightlight Donuts 

Jackson & Eric Wren  

Located in WACO, Texas, they switched from food truck to storefront during the pandemic and the rest is history. The twin brothers Jackson and Eric Wren are the owners of Nightlight Donuts and Coffee and they’ve been slinging donut deliciousness since 2018 and have never looked back.

Trey’s Chow Down has been Road Trip’in the USA in search of the BEST DONUTS the USA has to offer. Today we’re in Waco, Texas at Nightlight Donuts & Coffee where they believe kindness – not sugar, flour, or a special spice – is the secret ingredient. Kindness is the thing that they believe so strongly in and I think it’s awesome, especially in today’s crazy world where KINDNESS and LOVE is needed the most!

We received a tip of deliciousness about Nightlight so we made the trip to chow down. They offer some very unique, fluffy, savory, and sweet donuts that are filled with deliciousness. Each bite I took was better than the last – so flavorful and memorable I had a hard time putting these donuts down because each one was served HF&D #HotFreshandDelicious. On top of that, they were vibrant and beautiful.

These were some of the BEST DONUTS we’ve discovered in our travels around in the USA. I say they’re worth a drive from anywhere if you long for a savory, sweet, flavorful and delicious donut. You can view all of the offerings at the website link we have posted below.

Harold’s Chicken Deliciousness (Old School)

Trey Chapman Chow

The iconic Chicago-based restaurant Harold’s Chicken Shack celebrated it’s grand opening of its new location in the city of Cedar Hill last week. Family-owned and operated, we’re PROUD to feature this NEW Texas family business.

The Harold’s Chicken Shack story goes something like this:

Harold Pierce, an African-American entrepreneur who moved to Chicago in 1943, founded the restaurant on June 22, 1950 at the corner of 47th Street and Kenwood, near the estate where he worked as a chauffeur. Harold and his wife also operated a soul food restaurant on 39th street called the H&H (Harold & Hilda); their specialties were dumplings and chicken feet.  

Pierce differed from other fast-food innovators in his development of the Harold’s brand. He wanted each of his franchises to develop its own personality rather than forcing each to fit the same mold. Some Harold’s restaurants are very informal, with take-away chicken served by employees standing behind a window of bulletproof glass. (Originally introduced as a necessity rather than an aesthetic concern). Others offer the option to dine in. Harold’s Chicken Shacks may or may not offer fountain drinks, additional menu items, catering services, or delivery. The only constants are the basic chicken dinners and the emblem of a cook chasing a chicken with a cleaver. Even this varies greatly, sometimes rendered in lights and sometimes hand-painted. Often, the cook is dressed like a King. Harold’s restaurants are 

Their owners, said this week, “They’re glad to be open and we’re happy to be in Dallas!”

Trey’s Chow Down Road Tripp’ed to NEW Harold’s Chicken Shack that opened just last week. It opened to a TEXAS BIG fanfare as droves of folks showed up wanting some of Harold’s famous Chicago-Style Chicken.

The atmosphere is clean, vibrant, and comfortable with a big dining room, a bar, and a bar area for cocktails and beer. The service was fantastic and the staff was all smiles, even as busy as they were.

We enjoyed a big variety of Harold’s fresh-prepared chicken, wings, tenders, sides and more. They prepare everything fresh in-house and it’s served HF&D #HotFreshandDelicious. The chicken is fresh and it goes through a process of being cleaned, dipped, then battered and covered with Harold’s proprietary herbs and spices before frying. After its fried its covered in Harold’s special red sauce that was developed over 70 years ago. The chicken is flavorful, crispy and loaded with deliciousness in every bite. Each bite was a flavor explosion in my mouth – I LOVED IT!

We are happy to have them in Texas, slinging Harold’s delicious Chicken for all the hungry folks in North Texas. I’m honored to feature them on Trey’s Chow and wish them all the luck.

Featured items:  

Fried Pickles, Fried Mac-N-Cheese Balls, Fresh Fried Okra, French Fries, Fried Chicken Wings and Chicken Tenders.  

If you haven’t tried Harold’s Chicken, I would highly recommend you take a ride over to chow down, but because the hype is still as fresh as the chicken, be prepare to wait!) It’s worth it, I can promise you that. They’re a NEW OFFICIALLY APPROVED Trey’s Chow Down Delicious Destination for all food lovers to enjoy.

Bonnie’s Donuts Delicious 5 and 10 Pound Cinnamon Rolls!

Trey Chapman Chow

Howdy Y’all,

As you know, Trey’s Chow Down road trips the USA for creative chefs, tasty eats, savory sweet treats, and unique travel destinations. Today we’re in League City, TX, a suburb of Houston, to enjoy some of the biggest cinnamon rolls, sweet donuts, and incredible pastries – all prepared fresh at Bonnie’s Donuts.

They say everything is bigger in Texas, and that includes the desserts! That holds true here in League City, thanks to Bonnie’s Donuts and their 5–10-pound cinnamon rolls. I couldn’t believe the size of these monsters. The customers we spoke with said that every thing is delectable, delicious, and worth checking out especially the FRESH 5 and 10 pound cinnamon rolls.

The owner Natalie Chun has been making these gigantic rolls with her husband for a about five years. Natalie came to the U.S. from Cambodia 8 years ago to pursue her dream of owning a business. She started out working for a local baker and when the opportunity came to purchase Bonnie’s Donuts, she didn’t hesitate. The cinnamon rolls quickly became a fan favorite thanks to social media, food bloggers, and YouTube channels.

I was lucky enough to be invited in to try some of their award-winning donuts and the Texas-size cinnamon rolls. I was shocked at how heavy, dense, and massive the rolls were. Each batch, which includes an estimated pound of cinnamon, takes roughly two hours to prepare. When I picked up the ten-pound cinnamon roll I was smiling ear to ear and couldn’t wait to get my icing on and start chowing down!

You can check out the giant desserts along with their other creative creations on their Facebook and webpage. I absolutely loved meeting them and enjoyed these one-of-a-kind savory sweet Texas-sized treats. Don’t sleep on the donuts, because there delicious too.

Bonnie’s is a NEW officially APPROVED Trey’s Chow Down Delicious Destination for all food lovers to enjoy. Tell’em Ole Trey sent you to chow down!

Hope to meet you at a table soon!

Unforgettable Po-Boys, Sides & Bread Pudding NOLA

Trey Chapman Chow

Howdy Chow Hounds!

Po-Boy Deliciousness “I’m in Heaven!”

History has it that the Po-boy was invented by the Martin brothers, Benny and Clovis, to feed striking streetcar drivers in New Orleans in 1929. According to an account on the website of the Oak Street Po-Boy Festival, Benny Martin once said: “We fed those men free of charge until the strike ended. Whenever we saw one of the striking men coming, one of us would say, “Here comes another poor boy.” I’m not really sure how it was created but the generally accepted and repeated story of how the celebrated Po-Boy sandwich was invented first appeared in a New Orleans newspaper in 1969, 40 years after the streetcar strike. All I know is I love me a good Po-Boy sandwich and I sure found one of the BEST Louisiana originals.

Today we’re at Frady’s One Stop, located at 3231 Dauphine St in the Bywater District of New Orleans. It’s a COZY and BRIGHT store on the corner that just screams old school New Orleans. It’s been family owned and operated for decades and has unbelievably friendly service. You will fall in love when you see it, just like I did!

The building that houses Frady’s One Stop has been around for more than a hundred years. Before Joseph Frady bought the going-out-of-business Flick’s Meat Market in 1972, it was an open-air fruit stand. Frady bought the meat market with two goals in mind: to turn it into a corner grocery store and to serve the best cold drinks and sandwiches. He did make that dream happen and today they’re slinging some of the BEST Po-Boys in the USA.

Frady’s in the Bywater District is the perfect place to go after long walks, bike rides, or if you’re just plain hungry. They offer fried shrimp and meatball po’ boys that are truly unforgettable and loaded with deliciousness. They also offer roast beef, fried prawns, fresh sides, and savory sweet bread pudding. Be sure to also check out some of their tasty beer options!

Featured Dishes: Fresh Meatball Po’ Boy and Fresh Fried Shrimp Po’ Boy. Prepared on bakery-fresh French bread that is soft on the inside and with a fantastic crust on the outside. Absolutely the PERFECT Po’ Boys loaded with deliciousness.

Cajun-Creole Deliciousness at Cafe Sydnie Mae

Trey Chapman Brunch, Chow

Hello Chow Hounds!

100 Year Old Casket Elevator

We’re back on the road again on our MEETS, EATS and SWEETS Tour 2022. If you follow us you know we’re always on the hunt for the MOST DELICIOUS eats, savory sweet treats, and the BEST Places to MEET. We received another tip about this incredibly cozy and friendly spot in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana Cafe Sydnie Mae. They are slinging some of the BEST French Cajun-creole cuisine in state of Louisiana.

Breaux Bridge is a beautiful and cozy community nestled in the St. Martin parish of Louisiana. It’s centered around an amazing old bridge that was constructed in 1779 to assist with crossing the Bayou Têche, helping ease the passage across for families and neighbors. The rest, they say, is history. The bridge still stands today and has been renovated to its current beautiful state. I loved walking across the bridge, thinking what it must have been like in 1779.

When we heard about Cafe Sydnie Mae, we made reservations and headed out for dinner. Located at the foot of the Breaux Bridge in downtown, we loved the coziness soon as we pulled up. The cafe is located in a 100-year-old casket factory and is full of history. They offer chef-driven, fresh-prepared dishes that are loaded with flavor. The atmosphere is extremely homey, with live music and a beautiful old school Louisiana vibe.

We ordered a big variety of dishes to try and each one we enjoyed was better than the last, all loaded with flavor. My favorite was the BIG PHAT fresh GRILLED pork chop. That Pork Chop was so delicious it was Pork-O-Liciousness. It was so flavorful that I would drive 500 miles to enjoy it again. The fresh dessert was also savory, sweet deliciousness.

Cafe Sydnie Mae is worth a drive a drive from anywhere in Texas and Louisiana to enjoy some incredibly fresh Cajun-creole cooking in a beautiful old-Louisiana atmosphere, with friendly service and toe tapping music.

SIMPLY PUT: ” It’s so delicious and cozy you will never want to leave! I can’t wait to return for more deliciousness and fun. “
