I like my donuts impaled with preztels and oozing with raspberry guts, covered in Cap’n Crunch. Do the damn thing if you’re gonna do it, I say. We have enough cutesy places as it is.

OMG, now, that place looks awesome! I would have to go there just to order a cock n balls and a blunt. Makes me even more sure I want to move to Portland for retirement.

Chicago’s been on the gourmet donut/doughnut kick for a while now…

Luckily we still have our old-school bakeries and donut shops to fall back on when this fad passes.
