If it was good enough for little Robert Anthony, it's good enough for me.

But throwing in krazy K's where C's should be is kool.

Yeah, I gotta admit, that bothers me too. But whatchagonnado?

I grew up with Dunkin' as the default donut shop, so there you go. Either way, they are damn good. Entirely TOO good.

I'm pretty sure Voodoo Doughnuts makes a Dr. Pepper-flavored doughnut.

(All kidding aside, they used to make one with NyQuil in it, but they had to stop.)

And what Wombles is describing is a beignet.

What I am describing is a New York jelly doughnut. They don't resemble any beignets I have seen, although my beignet experience is limited. Do they make beignets with jam in them? And do they make them with granulated sugar instead of powdered? If so, tell me where and I am buying a plane ticket.

I think I have had one like you describe somewhere around here, but I don't recall where. On this latest donut tour I never actually set foot inside any of the shops, I only ate some that my friend bought. Hmm. I will clearly have to go to all of them again to check it out.

Aug, I have to give you the St Louis donut ride report. Two blocks down Southwest Ave from World's Fair is a place called O'Fashion Donuts that I thought was also very good. The donuts were small and kind of crispy on the outside. The insides were pretty cakey, though. I liked the small size and crispiness.
Way down south on Hampton is St Louis Hills Donuts, which after this trip might be the champion. They have interesting combinations like a buttermilk donut filled with cream cheese, and an almond donut.
Eddie's Southtown, Plaza Donuts: not very impressive.

We have driven past St Louis Hills Donuts and will probably stop someday.  World's Fair has a great deal of sentimental importance for Mrs. West and I.  We used to get hot out of the fryer cinnamon rolls for each other when we first got together and lived a block from there.

That is a really cute neighborhood! My roommates and I are talking about teaming up with a few other guys we know and trying to find a house to rent, and that is one of the areas where we are looking.

A Guide to the Best Doughnuts in New York

Is the New York jelly "doughnut" you refer to represented in this guide? Because it sounds amazing. I usually plan trips around good burger places but if I can throw in a donut or two, all the better.

Raspberry Beignet. Reminds me of a Prince song.

Oh, Krispy Kreme vs. Dunkin' Donuts. I think Krispy Kreme's glazed dounts are pretty good if you can get them hot off the line, but generally I like donuts that have a little more substance. There aren't any Dunkin' Donuts locations in Utah as far as I'm aware, and I don't know if they are in Seattle either. They aren't big there anyway. I really do like Randy's Donuts, that photo from my first post. Now that we have In-N-Out in Utah, it's officially my first stop out of LAX. It used to be my second stop. Oh, and the next morning, I go for one of these.

[Choop]

see, the thing about a krispy kreme glazed is that it's a three-biter, whereas others need four to six bites to finish. so i have two instead of one. it's not for dunking, which i wouldn't expect, since i'm not buying them at a place named for the practice.

randy's has a good maple bar. i bought the t-shirt. they weren't doing them with bacon when i went, though voodoo in portland had just gotten popular with them. i haven't been to portland.

here in the A we have a place called sublime which does this fuck*ng killer strawberries-n-cream donut that might be my newest favorite. it's huge and messy and delicious. decent coffee, too, but not on par with dunkin's.

i need a joint around the corner from my house with peet's coffee, krispy kreme hot glazed, and strawberries&c from sublime. also flamin' hot chee-tohs because i'm like addicted. in all actuality i certainly do not need this joint, but if i hit the next big lotto jackpot? yeah. it'll happen.

I vote for Donut

Of course,

vs.


Which is it, then? Where does your loyalty fall?

Krispy Kreme was never really a thing for me.  Shipley's is THE donut in Houston.  They've been around longer too.  Krispy Kreme is a Johnny come lately.  Their factory is a block from my house by the way. 

And Dunkin', that's just cake really, isn't it?  Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I think Krispy Kreme's glazed dounts are pretty good if you can get them hot off the line

Yeah, that's sorta the major problem with Krispy Kreme


Aw what the hell, since I'm posting pics of donuts, might as well post this.


Anybody ever done donut jousting?

[greenkoolayd]

at the farmshow in Harrisburg there is a vendor that makes potato donuts.

None of those are exactly the classic thing, but god damn it, I was at Almondine last time I was in in New York and there is a possibility I had that thing and I can't remember for sure. Either they were out of them and I didn't have one, or I had one and it was good but not the right thing so it didn't stick in my mind.

Next time I will go to the one in Park Slope and see if I can stop them before they put the powdered sugar on. I am willing to compromise.
