The Donut Thread
TURRIBLE
Probably a hot take - Not a big donut guy.
We have those out here. They are fun but way too much stuff for Me..
Give me plain glazed all day.
We take the kids to a place called Hurts Donuts in Des Moines when we're down there and I feel the same way.
The kids love them, but I'm far more traditional - just give me a few of the basics and I'm happy.
I'm also fine not having a donut most days but they can be good.

I don't eat donuts much anymore, but I'd go here easily and get a dozen.
Okay - I kind of take back what I wrote, that does sound good.
Also, nothing with maple is at all worth the calories in the donut sphere.
I just cannot get down with those prices on a basic yeast/glazed donut with a fancy topping.
Cake Donuts are where it is at. Personal favorite? Chocolate with toasted coconut.

I quite like their fire in the hole cake donut. Most of Voodoo's donuts are a little too much for me.
Some of those look good
Love the over the top donuts like these. The more stuff on 'em the better!
I remember my father and granddad as they were making the cake donuts for our bakery - so so good coming right out of the fryer. Then years later I was the one dropping them in and flipping once they hit the golden brown. #greatmemories.

Donuts are my weakness. The last time we went to Voodoo Donuts I got the Oh Captain My Captain. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it might be my favorite of the ones that we tried.
This picture hurts the top of my mouth.
I used to hang out with a young lady named Kass that started a company called Hurt's Donut. I've tried dozens of different variations and toppings at her place. I would rather just have a plain old fluffy glazed donut.
Ive had Voodoo in colorado and florida. They're pretty dang good. Donuts are my weakness so im always looking for cool donut places
I can never wrap my head around how many people like a simple plain glazed donut or think Dunkin Donuts are the best

I'll try the fancy donuts, but I'm the same way. Most mornings that I have to go into the office I hit Dunkin for a coffee and plain glazed donut. It's all simple, but so good.
Dunkin's has been run out of Canada by the Tim Hortons Mafia. But i often get one when i'm in the US. The Hortons donuts are fine but not quite as good

I could probably find a half dozen or so acceptable choices then choose one or two.
When I get donuts at home, they are Shipley's plain glazed, preferably within a few minutes out of the fryer. Cake donuts are good choices as well.
After a paper route, my first job was working at the local Shipley's. I learned to make the dough, cut the donuts, fry them, etc. First day on the job, "you can eat all you want." After a week to 10 days on the job, I no longer had the craving.
