Cronut Burger Backlash: bad reviews, trademark issues and gastrointestinal upset at the CNE
Glamour shots of the cronut-encased cheeseburger by Toronto’s Epic Burgers and Le Dolci Bakery sent the blogosphere into a tizzy earlier in the month. Now it looks like the honeymoon’s over. The sugar-dusted fat-bomb has recently sparked negative reviews, rumblings of potential trademark issues and, according to some reports, a bout of food poisoning that sent five people to the hospital.

I would not go anywhere near it!
We shared it, it was different and yummy…….we did not get sick!
