GothamistThe most viral pastry of our time is teaming up with Shake Shack to create what will no doubt be the most insane foodiot line since the Ramen Burger! Shake Shack HQ has just announced that for one day only (September 17th), the wildly popular fast food joint will be selling a “Cronut Hole Concrete” made with the leftover centers of Chef Dominique Ansel’s famous pastry.  The concretes will cost $4.50 each and will be limited to two (2) per customer/scalper. The money will go to the New York City Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association (PBA) Widows and Children’s Fund, which provides aid and assistance to the families of NYPD officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty, as well as the Madison Square Park Conservancy. Please be advised that only 1,000 Cronut Hole Concretes will be served, starting at 10 a.m. on September 17th. Chef Ansel himself will be on hand from 4-5 p.m. “to greet fans” and help serve concretes, though we find it hard to believe there will be any concretes left by then.

Well this is it, my friends. This is the Apocalypse of Waiting In line. An unholy alliance between the assholes who wait on line for 2 hours for Shake Shack meets the assholes who camp on the street for 2 days to get cronuts. I mean its for a great cause, so I hope there’s a line from here to Florida. But the mob scene that will result from a Shake Shack Cronut will be titanic. If we could somehow incorporate the DMV and the Boardy Barn, no less than 1,000,000 people would be on that line. Next summer, the Board Barn serves up Shake Shack Cronuts and offers license renewals and I promise you you’ll see the longest line of white people you can possibly imagine.
