I as wondering if there is anybody on FR that ever had a Southern Maid Donut in Shreveport, La. If there is, I believe they would agree that there is no donut anywhere that is any better, and maybe not even as good—not even Krispy Kreme. TexasD

When I was growing up in Dallas we’d get Southern Maid donuts. They were good. Krispy Kreme closed here. We have a local chain called Shipleys, and KK couldn’t compete. I rarely eat donuts but had a few KK’s hot out of the fryer and I can see how they’d be addictive.

I have not ... but if you'll tell me where to exit off of I-20 I will try one the next time we drive through there. There is a little mom & pop donut shop in Monroe, LA that has some really good glazed. Personally, I can't pass up a cinnamon cake.

My BIL says that those things are gonna kill me and I told him that I don't necessarily want to live a few years longer and pass up all of the good food that helps make life worth living. I also remind him that his dad lived to 98 years young and ate any darn thing he desired.

There’s a local donut place where I live and go to that used to be a SM shop. I think the current owners bought it and continued to run it like it was previously run without the name. It is the best shop in town. The best glazed donuts I’ve EVER eaten (and I’ve had a few).

It's the first place I go when I make a trip home, the other is Herby K's
