As proven by tonight’s premiere airing at 10:00pm ET, fried dough can take many forms, and every single one of them is delicious. Donut Showdown challenges three savvy donut-makers to serve up an inventive spin on dough that fits into a weekly theme. This episode’s “Good Morning!” theme is perfect for anyone who gets their days going with the classic duo of a glazed donut dunked in a steaming cup of joe (ahem, calling all cops). Tune in to see how the donut masters fill, fry, glaze and sprinkle their way through this challenge at the sweet stakes of $10,000.

Expect things to get even weirder as the season continues, as you’ll find donuts spiked and studded with everything from booze to veggies to exotic spices, with unusual yet very satisfying results.
