METAIRIE— Todd Price and the 58 Days Later king cake zombies get slaughtered by commenters over their picture of a Tastee Donut's Mackenzie-style king cake this week. While the "unadorned oval of brioche topped with sugar' does looks tasty, as one commenter notes, "If that picture is a Mckenzie king cake that I'm ray nagin, and right now I'm not sitting in court" and yet another "the original had the sprinkled ends with cherries smuched in, sugar that pretty much melted on top, and was not as bready as the Tastee's McKenzies are."
