I remember the frenzy when Krispy Kreme came to Denver some time ago. After it died down a bit, I tried one… My reaction was “Tastes good, but it’s just a glazed donut. What’s the big deal?”
JUST a “glazed”?
First off, it’s a honeydip. What a stupid, indescriptive name someone put on doughnuts.
A GOOD honeydip is fantastic. But I’ve never found a fantastic doughnut in ANY mass-produced company. Dunkin is passable, Krispy stinks.
We had German bakeries all around here in my youth and they make them great. Hell, even the honeydips sold in our college snack shop were great. Super compared to DD and KK.
And it doesn’t apply just to honeydips. Any doughnut by local places was great compared to these weak southern and northern behemoths.
Same here. It’s just a donut. Nothing fancy. If the donuts were served by blonde hot babes from Sweden, sure...I’ll be there every morning LOL. The only food items that have kept their legendary ‘HYPE’ status is Chick Fil A and In N Out here in L.A. There’s more but I wont drive there just for the hype of it..
We got one in North Miami Beach. The fresh hot baked ones melt in your mouth. On Thursday they have a special, buy a dozen get one free.
I’ll pick up two dozen on the way home from work and the sun will never set on them. Too sweet, that’s what milk is for
