WASHINGTON DC: Baseball Season Fare at Astro Doughnuts

To mark the start of baseball season and the Washington Nationals’ first home game, Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken will look to baseball stadium classics to offer a limited edition sausage and doughnut sandwich along with a caramel popcorn-inspired doughnut. Astro has partnered up with local sausage maker, Meats & Foods, to serve a half smoke in between a hotdog shaped doughnut bun served with Gordy’s pickled jalapeños and mustard. A "Peanuts & Cracker Jack” doughnut ($2.65), made with caramel glaze, peanuts, Fishers Popcorn from Ocean City, and topped with a caramel drizzle, will also be available. The sandwich will sell for $6.75, and the “Peanuts and Cracker Jack” doughnut together with the sandwich will sell for $9. Both the sandwich and doughnut will be available at the Downtown/G Street store as well as the Falls Church location, however the food truck will only sell the "Peanuts and Cracker Jack" doughnut.

The special menu items will be available on the Nationals’ home opener day, Thursday April 7, starting at 11:30 a.m.
