I would ask if it was custard filled or cream filled because if custard, DO NOT WANT. And if they tell me it's cream and I bite into it as I'm driving down the road only to find that it is, in fact, custard, I would throw it out the window. True story.

If Ohio isn't the midwest, what region exactly is it part of?

The Great Lakes or the Rust Belt?

Is Cleveland more like NYC or more like Topeka? I think the guy has a reasonable point about the midwest's borders, but it baffles me that the "long john" guys are trying to be the sophisticated side of this.

The rural/corn/cows parts of the Midwest call it a long john, it seems like both coasts and the Great Lakes region call it an eclair. IOW, all of the parts of the country that actually have culture call it an eclair.

that makes it ok? great then you're on my side, since true eclairs and eclair donuts are also made from the same stuff. you know, pastry, icing, filling, similar shape and look. wow i'm so glad you eventually found your way over to the rational side of the argument. go look at your past posts in this thread if you want a laugh.

Shocked this thread has gone for this long. It's a doughnut shop and the OP states that what he is referring to is a doughnut (doughnut shop could also make eclaires which are not doughnuts). If OP had not stated "what is this doughnut called?" but instead said "what is that one called" then I could see the argument that it's an eclaire. By the wording in the original post eclaire cannot be right and thus the best answer is long john.

It's better than asking for something which isn't a doughnut. It seems way more hickish to ask for an "eclaire doughnut" than a long john. I know you wouldn't say it that way but it comes down to the same thing.

It continues to befuddle me that people seem to think "eclair" is the white trash term while long john is like, super cosmopolitan or something. Never mind that the geographical evidence flies directly in the face of this. The very words themselves should be all the evidence anyone needs.

Donut shops around here have "Apple Pie Donuts", "Boston Cream Donuts", etc. Obviously the baked good which inspires them is more high end, but donuts can be inspired by other things and can be named whatever they want!

Kind of like how if someone is holding a package of those scented markers and I ask for "grape" they don't look at me like a ******, they just hand me the ****ing purple marker!
