For weeks on our BlogTalkRadio show (http://blogtalkradio.com/jckc), we have been joking about the famed "Two Pound Donut" at Round Rock Donuts, which is located about 15 minutes from my house.
I have always enjoyed the donuts there, but until recently I had no idea that they produced such a gargantuan product. It's apparently the equivalent of eating ONE DOZEN donuts at a sitting.
Mellanie Stewart is the supremely helpful lady in the video. I managed to leave without getting the name of the other employee who appears here. And yes, it is spelled correctly - she wrote it down for me. :)
I would recommend checking out their donuts if you have a chance - they are located near downtown Round Rock, at 106 W. Liberty Street (indidentally, I am headed north on I-35 in the video during the driving scene):

dibs :) Okay....190 calories for one....that's not too bad....if I ate 6 of those my 1500 calorie per day diet is good....so it's safe to assume...I can eat half that donut.
LOOOVEEE the price too. Thanks for the tour....I LOOOVVVEEE donuts :)
Jason: From looking at that monster donut... I would have thought it would have been the equivalent to more than a dozen donuts. I know... if I am really hungry... I could barge my way through a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts... as long as I had an nice bottomless glass of milk to go along with it. I might explode... but I'd like to try. I am guessing I might have to be wheeled out of there.
Perhaps I need to go into training... so tomorrow I guess I will just HAVE to stop at Krispy Kreme... and start training. Thanks a Lot ! Troublemaker !
$5.50! You could feed a family of 4 with that thing. Your local food bank should stock up.
Hi Jason... I wonder if Round Rock Donuts makes a 2 pounder as a king cake for Mardi Gras... it looks about the right size... all it would need is the icing and the baby inside of it!
I am a serious donut fan, but there is no way in the world I could make it through that 2 pounder by myself. :) But I guess I could share it with Karen Anne ....
Hi Jason, Good post. Thanks for sharing.
Best - Sash
it's 7:30 in the morning I just poured a fresh hot cup of coffee and you tease me with a video on a delicious humongous donut?? Have you no shame???? ugggg now I'll be thinking donuts all morning!!! :) fun video Jason -
WAIT _ _ _ _ Where is the footage of you finishing off one of those puppies? :)
Jason - This giant donut looks too tempting!! Yum!! Can you FedEx one to the Twin Cities?!
Your next tasks is to figure out how many gallons of coffee would it take to wash down a 2 lb donut.
Jason,
You need to submit this to the Food Network and see if you could get them to go out and sample the donut. Who knows maybe Bobby Flay would do a "throwdown" with them.
Nice job sir on the reporting.
Jason - And why is it that you didn't include a Google Map from my house to this wonderful, magical land? Wow, two pounds of donut. Let's just say I look a little Homer Simpson-esque right now. I have to remember to put that on my list of things to do in life. I agree with Steve though, I would have liked to have seen footage of you during and after woofing one of those down. I bet the after shots would be of a very sluggish Jason who didn't want to move much.
OK, that's just one serious donut!
Great video documenting your trip to the donut shop.
By the way, you didn't signal your lane change when exiting I-35. I'm contacting your local authorities!!!
Dear Jason,
I had no idea they made a monster donut. I feel that RR Donuts are far superior to Krispy Creme or Dunkin. Save me a regular sized donut!
;)
Round Rock Donuts! W00T!
I saw this place on Man Vs Food, glad that you did this report.
The question is how many police officers in the Austin area know where Rock Rock Donuts is located?
Answer, all of them.
Hi Jason! I actually clicked on this to view it when you first posted it last night--then I watched the vid this morning and I'm just NOW getting back to comment! I LOVE this post--great quality video and what a wonderful Localism post, Jason. You ROCK and I know those employees are going to remember YOU when their clients ask about selling their home or looking for one in the area! Way to go!!
Great video on the Round Rock donut shop. Wow you could buy ONE of those and consume your whole day's worth of calories in one sitting. I have never seen a single donut that large. Get production with the video Jason and nice to hear your voice and narration as well.
It's worth the calories Crouch, donuts are delicious.
THAT is a crazy donut. Who is that hungry in the morning??? I think I gained weight just watching this video.
p.s. This is the FINAL Comment that puts me OVER 100,000 points. I purposely came to your post to comment.
Hey Jason! How about a 'Rock Loaf'? I think it was Fred Flinestone's....
Debi
Oh Boy! These Look SUPERDEEDUPERLY TASTY! I think Mellanie has a chance for her own show!! Thanks for the fun peek into this yummy little(giant) treasure!
What a concept, you could have office meetings and people could cut a piece of the donut they feel is appropriate!

We used to have a restaurant, here in Orange County, that served a chocolate eclair roughly the size of a football. :)
P.S. I just went to Google and did this search: two pound donut round rock. Very interesting results!
Good job partner! Now you've gone and doughnut :) Amazing job. So Round Rock Doughnuts is right there in Round Rock about halfway between Pflugerville and Cedar Park, all suburbs of Austin, Texas? I would think the Austin area would be a great place to live with a 2 pound doughnut right there in the vecinity!
Hey Jason, Is that a little bit of chocolate I see around your lips? MMMMI love donuts! I could eat that whole thing. If you want to ship one of those over here to Alabama my address is..... Great job with the video, I guess you will soon move from radio to TV!
Yum. Round Rock donuts have the best reputation in the Austin area.
Jason,
Great video. Thanks for sharing the RR donuts experience with us via the video journal. If I ate one of this donuts (2,400 calories per donut) for breakfast, I will probably feel the urge to go on a very long hike and I probably would not be hungry again till late in the day.
that donut would fit perfectly around her waist. maybe that is what the size of your waist after you eat that monster of a donut
Lovin' the donuts! I think that those are bigger than most spare (donut) tires that are in car trunks these days...
