I grew up with KK in TN, so I was spoiled. I thought all doughnuts would be as good. Then I travelled. WRONG. Look, they’re just friggin’ donuts, fer Krist’s sake.

But…when you see the red neon HOT DOUGHNUTS sign ablaze…drop whatever you’re doing, go in and order a dozen glazed. With coffee. With a friend.

This is sex, drugs, and rock’n’roll all rolled up into a pure oralgasmic sensation that is beyond human description.

Ain’t nothin’ like it.
