Donuts and Delites sells the best donuts I have ever eaten. While their ordinary donuts are nothing to get excited about, the ridged donuts you see here taste like they're made from a completely different batter. Either the batter or the shape of this donut is responsible for a treat that is more moist, more gooey, and somehow simultaneously both denser and lighter than an ordinary donut. Take your pick of chocolate, strawberry, maple, or white icing. I like the white icing best because it's not as sickeningly sweet as strawberry and because, well, chocolate and maple aren't my thing. Cost for a dozen donuts and two 16 ounce bottles of milk? A reasonable $8.
Maybe I just haven't been paying attention all these years, but I've never seen a donut like this before. I'm in love.

Anonymous--I wanted to expand the scope of my site, so I've been trying to visit restaurants in other parts of the city. I'd like to strike more of a balance and not be as westside-centric.
ReplyDeleteElmo--you hate donuts? No comprendo.
Bandini--you inspired me to start eating tacos, which has enriched my life and my wallet.
That's a cruller - one of my favorite donuts - and they *are* made with a different type of batter. Yummy. Great photo!
