I'm a huge fan of the donut. Krispy Kreme's are good, but the sugar is a bit over the top for me. What are you favorites? Anyone up for a Maple BACON Donut?

You can eat a whole dozen of regular krispy kreme donuts in about 4 - 6 bites. I've done it.
Make 4 stacks of 3, microwave for about a minute (depends on microwave), squash each stack, then stack and squash again, then chomp.
MMMMM. Instant heart attack/sugar rush though. Haven't done it in years, but man is it tasty.
I don't eat donuts much anymore but Dunkin Donuts cherry cake with frosting are probably my favorite.

Definately Krispy Kreme (grew up in the Carolinas). Favorite type: raspberry jelly filled. If only I lived a little closer to one of these though...

Krispy Kreme pulled out of Phoenix after only a short few years here. I'm from Louisiana and I grew up on Shipley Donuts every Sunday morning.

We had a lot of Krispy Kreme's open here in PA about 5 years ago, then just suddenly most of them just disappeared. Really big in the Carolina's.

I LOVE maple bars and apple fritters, but most donuts are just fine with me! Krispy Kreme though? Never understood the attraction... just sugar and air. I like my donuts to be a bit more substantial.

The real treat for me is an honest to goodness Jalapeno Sausage Kolache with cheese. Looks like a donut... NOT a donut! Mornings in Clear Lake City, TX makes the best. Nobody serves Koaches in Minnesota. In fact, there just aren't many donut shops here period. Maybe it's because the locals call them "rolls." Weirdos...

Krispy Kreme SUCKS. Never understood the hype as most of the stuff they had was pretty nasty and only a half step above day old gas station mystery donuts. They were up here for a little bit then vanished.

They opened a Krispy Kreme donut shop here in Lafayette, it did not last a year before they closed. To many mom and pop places here in South Louisiana. Skatchkins, you are right. Shipley made some good donuts. But now Meche's Donut is the King here in the Lafayette area. Thier caked donuts are most excellent, especially when they are fresh and hot.

MMMMM...Meche's. Miss them, but what I'd kill for is a just out of the fryer plate of beignets from Cafe DuMonde and a hot cup of Community Dark Roast to wash them down. I get the Community shipped a couple times a year, but the beignets'll have to wait till the next trip home...dammit!

...just got back from Canada, Tim Horton's donuts SUCK the Cho-Cho! It doesn't help that you can't drive through Toronto for 23 seconds without seeing one either.

I've lived in Krispy Kreme country for (counting on fingers and toes) 18 years now. They were great for a while, but I've pretty much burned out on them. Damn, last time I did buy a box (actually my father-in-law sprang for the bill) a dozen of those suckers were like - what - almost 7 bucks?
Surprised none of the Austinites have nominated Round Rock donuts yet. That's some good eatin' there, and cheaper than KK's cardboard boxes.

We don't typically eat donuts. You know, trying to teach the kids healthy habits,etc. However, sounds like an EXCELLENT idea for Saturday morning! OD
