The latest French delicacy is... Krispy Kreme doughnuts, Nathan writes.
Some 500 Parisians were waiting in line Wednesday for the grand opening of France's first Krispy Kreme location, the New York Times reported.
The intrigue: French snobbery toward American fast-food chains is, apparently, a thing of the past.
Like Krispy Kreme, chains such as Popeye's, Wendy's, KFC, Starbucks and Burger King are expanding in the land of wine and cheese, where eating habits have been "influenced by a more casual younger generation and social media," the Times says.
🍩 Nathan's thought bubble: The next step toward Americanization is having Krispy Kreme donuts at weddings. That's what my cousin recently did.
