Best doughnuts?
Krispy Kreme
(Yes, I made a food topic! I'm not sorry!)
The kind that spell it the right way like you. None of this "donuts" business. Damn 'Muricans.
shareI've always spelled it "doughnuts." I think the other spelling refers to squirrels: they do nuts. π€

That's how it's spelled in my Spelling Dictionary.

I believe "donuts" is the American spelling. Or as I like to call it: the shorter, the lazier.
shareLike Dunkin' Donuts now being referred to as just Dunkin'.
I've even seen an ad that uses the spelling "Dnkn." Have people really gotten that lazy?
I had a friend in college named John-Paul. I used to call him JP. Then people started to call him J. That's literally one step away from calling him nothing.
shareI think of Weight Watchers shortening to WW. Really? It's shorter to say weight watchers funny enough. We are so lazy.
shareIt's a more efficient spelling. Some countries can't evolve, but the US is fantastic at it.

All doughnuts taste the same to me.
shareDoughnut Party. (local place)
Fun fact. A really horrible Christmas movie used it as a filming location.
something that's always bothered me in Boogie Nights is him not taking the Doughnuts, he made such passionate choices
shareChocolate cake with white glazing. Dynamo in SF makes good ones.
shareFind a local family-run doughnut shop if you want the best doughnuts. A place where they are made fresh.
Forget the chains... the ones that claim they make their own in-store are actually using pre-made frozen products that come off a semi truck. From what I've read Dunkin' Donuts, now known as "Dunkin'" (I've also seen "Dnkn"... how lazy can you get?) does this. I've seen posts from Canadian users who say Tim Hortons now operates the same way; their doughnuts are no longer fresh and their coffee is watered down. I guess people want garbage.
I'm not impressed with Krispy Kreme either, and think they are extremely overrated. I remember when the chain moved back into my area after being absent for a few decades (before my time). This was all over the news. You would have sworn it was the all-time biggest event of the century. When the first location opened in one of the suburbs, people were camped out at 3:00 am (in the middle of winter!!) and traffic was backed up. It's amazing what lengths people who are normally lazy will go through when it comes to stuffing their faces.
A coworker brought in a box and was all aglow as if he had discovered a cache of gold coins. "Hey, everyone... I brought in some Krispy Kreme doughnuts!" Like we were supposed to be impressed by the brand name. The guy kept insisting I have one, and after badgering me about it, I gave in. What a disappointment.
The Big Return of the franchise eventually turned out to be a bust. The stores closed after only a few years, and I can't remember the last time I saw one; there may still be one location somewhere in the region. No big loss. Now if they could only get rid of stupid Starbucks.
I agree with you, the best ones are from family-run businesses where they get up early and make the doughnuts fresh each day.
I do like Krispy Kreme doughnuts but only from their own stores where they make them on site. The box ones you can buy in the store aren't the best.
The coworker I mentioned had purchased them at a Krispy Kreme store. I wasn't impressed; the doughnuts were heavy as though they had been totally saturated with lard. Yes, I know doughnuts are fried, but should they should have a light consistency.
People need to continue to support the family-run shops. Then the big chains with the processed inferior products would never get a foot in the door and wouldn't be able to run the good places into the ground.
A family-run doughnut shop - Yes!
