See here, if’n you live in the country and y’all have to go into the big city of Winston-Salem a couple of times a year to sell your tobaccy and buy tractor parts and other stuff for the farm, you might have some of them Krispy Kremes and that’d be OK, just an occasional treat. But every day…yecchh!
BTW if you’re in Winston-Salem, stop at Dewey’s bakery and get some of their Moravian sticky buns. Those are truly memorable!
I’ve never seen a Krispy Kreme shop. There’s one about 60 miles away from my hometown, but that’s pretty far for a doughnut. There don’t appear to be any in Ann Arbor either. But I have had them a couple times from grocery stores that carry them.
Verdict:
They’re doughnuts.
They taste good.
This is because - pay attention, here - doughnuts taste good.
I don’t get this doughnut snobbery. A doughnut is a doughnut is a doughnut!
So, is Krispy Kreme going to become the next Starbucks?
Personally, I love Krispy Kreme doughnuts. They are just sooo good. They sell them in grocery stores here, but it’s always better to go and get them fresh from the bakery. My favorite ones are the plain chocolate frosted ones. Mmmmm.
Except that KK doughnuts are overly sweet, overly greasy, and lack substance. Were it not that the company buys us doughnuts once a week, I’d rarely have any kind of doughnut. But there is so much “hype” about KKs that I can’t refrain from crying, “The emporer has no clothes!”
t-keela,
The one on kirby is my favorite, i’m offshore out of intracoastal city as we speak (icy, la is just south of abbeville dontcha know), I have family in chalmette, mama was from les cha (lake charles for the rest of you) and daddy was from tulsa, I was born to be oilfield trash! (I showed them all and got me one of them 'puter jobs but it’s still in “da patch”).

Brit’s give us the Spice Girls, we retailiate with donuts.
Seems fair.
