The plan was to spend a Saturday eating donuts at every shop that exists on a one(ish) mile stretch of 3rd Street. Just over a week ago, the plan came to fruition.
Originally, we had thought it would be possible to stop not just at donut shops, but also at any place that might sell something donut-like. As you can probably imagine, that didn't pan out. A stomach can only handle so many donuts in one day.
We settled on SK's Donuts, Bob's Donuts, and the new Fonuts. In all, we tasted six donuts (I know, gross). The winner, SK's, easily stood out from the crowd. And coming in at a whopping $1.60 for two donuts didn't hurt either. The donuts - raised glazed and glazed blueberry cake - were so light it's hard to call them junk food.
Bob's is still a favorite in my heart, and I've mentioned it enough that it doesn't need much more explaining. But Fonuts is another story. This place has gotten so much hype, and after visiting, I'm not sure why. My fonut disappointment was the glazed ($3.25). Everything about it tasted fake and elastic-y. Diana opted for two cake-like donuts that were better. But the problem was that they were essentially specialty bread in the shape of a donut.
I take this as proof that when it comes to donuts, the cheaper the better.
Need to make a return trip to try the one that looks like strawberry shortcake! mmmmmmmm ...
ReplyDeleteIn high school my friend, Olivia, and I decided to ditch rowing practice and get a baker's dozen (EACH) of krispy kreme donuts. I think we only ate about 3 or 4 each before we became cracked out, sugar high teenagers. We have forever since referred to that amazing donut experience as, "the time we got glazed." Ah, donuts!
ReplyDelete@Elyse - I was totally glazed after this donut crawl. But I imagine the effect is magnified for teenagers!
