Which Meche’s? There are several in town, most not owned by the same people. I like the king cake from Rickey Meche’s on Guilbeau. The ones I’ve had are not a giant donut, but tastes vary. I like Keller’s a lot as well, probably my favorite here.
They are all donuts

To this day I still think the old Mckenzies style plain King Cake is the best. Mandeville bake shop makes one just like it and it's awesome.
Agreed, have an upvote. It didn’t have all the artery clogging additives used on, and in, many king cakes today that mask the great flavor of the bread (if the bread is even as good as McKenzies).

It took four pages to name the best. Oak Point in Central or Watson is the best

It's a king cake, not a big donut/cinnamon rol
A traditional king cake is kind of a big cinnamon roll. More of a bread than a cake. To each his own, though. Rickey sells a crap ton of his king cakes so I guess a few people like them.
And yes, it is kind of a big donutslightly modified. Born of necessity since they don’t have ovens, only fryers to cook it in. My understanding is he actually had a specialist from Pillsbury, who was there to help him with a cake donut dough, start him start to develop the king cake dough he uses now.

They are but the dough recipe is slightly modified, at least at Rickey Meche’s it is.
It is not a traditional bread based king cake, that is true.

Mandeville bake shop bread in the old style tastes just like the original McKenzies. They are high as giraffe pu$$y in costs though.

They are all donut places and they make a donut king cake. That's not a king cake, just get a donut if that's what you want. I like Haydel's.
What if I want a donut king cake?
They are not bread based, mostly out of necessity, most of those places don’t have ovens, so they have to fry the king cake.
