Donuts of the World

I apologize for the terrible title of this post. I planning to keep it live, so if you think of a better one, let me know!

I really like donuts. That may be an understatement. I really really really love donuts. And I'm picky, and I'm opinionated, and I like to try donuts in every new place I visit. This post will log places I have been and places I have yet to be. 

Daylight Donuts, Tulsa, OK
This is one of my favorite donut shops in the world. No pics, sorry. 71st and Yale. YES. 

YoYo Donuts, Birmingham, AL
Favorite donut in Birmingham. No pic again, sorry. 


Okay. Those are the top two. Now it's adventure time!

Top Pot Donuts, Dallas, TX


Tasty-O Donuts, Vero Beach, FL


Rome, Italy



This donut was from a random place outside a subway. 

I also tried this, but it was more of a shortbread than a donut. 


Sublime Donuts, Atlanta, GA



They had a toffee donut that I loved! The strawberry and orange and really all the others I tried were great too. It's just off the Georgia Tech campus! 

Dough, New York City, NY (Brooklyn location)



Carmel almond, graham cracker cheesecake, and salted caramel chocolate. They were fun; the chocolate is the only one I'd make a point to eat again. 

Dun-Well Doughnuts, New York City, NY (Brooklyn)



Crunchy peanut butter and jelly, strawberry sprinkle, ginger, and Oreo. The peanut butter icing was amazing, but the jelly inside wasn't my favorite. The other three were fine; I didn't really like the ginger and wish I would've tried the Rosemary. 

Doughnut Plant, New York City, New York (Manhattan)



Here are all the options . . .


. . . and here's the ones I tried! Peanut butter with banana filling (yes, in a square), Brooklyn blackout, coffee cake, and tres leches. The tres leches was extraordinary, if not dazzlingly delicious. I wouldn't miss not going there again.


The Donut Shoppe, Houston, TX





I hesitate to say it, but this just beat Tulsa's Daylight Donuts for the best chocolate old fashioned donut I've had. The other ones were yummy too!


The Summer Shadow: Behind the Scenes

The past few months, I've been preparing for my summer project. Here's a sneak peek at a few quotations that I hoped to tack somewhe...
