What you should know about Twinkie.
Twinkie is best known for being founded by Chef Romain Dufour and entrepreneur Charles Gilles Compagnon, creating an American inspired restaurant that serves all day brunch seven days a week, pairs USDA Black Angus smash burgers with house baked potato buns, hand cut fries, specialty pancakes, fried chicken, homemade desserts, oversized milkshakes, craft cocktails, and specialty coffee, while developing one of Paris' most recognizable modern diner concepts through generous portions, premium ingredients, and lively presentation that has attracted thousands of devoted diners.
Fluffy buttermilk pancakes arrive layered with seasonal fruit, maple syrup, whipped cream, or crisp fried chicken, while perfectly seared Black Angus patties develop deeply caramelized crusts before being tucked into pillowy potato buns with melted cheese and house sauces.
