National Doughnut Day at Serious Eats: It's All Doughnuts, All Day
At Serious Eats we take doughnuts, well, seriously. So seriously we are dedicating the site to fresh, hot, and delicious doughnut content all day today, National Doughnut Day. That means original doughnut video; a doughnut glossary; doughnut blog posts, quotes, and photos; a doughnut honor roll that will become your essential guide to doughnuts in the U.S.; doughnut recipes from perhaps the nation's greatest pastry chef, Nancy Silverton; and more. It's all doughnuts, all day here at Serious Eats. So take a bite. The only thing we can't supply is a glass of milk or a cup of coffee for dunking.

As the resident curmudgeon, I have to say: who cares? Is there a biscuit day? A toast day? A waffle day? A French toast day? A crispelli day? A crepe day? I hope there are none of these. I hope there is a bagel day, but I don't know about it. Of all the foods I miss from my childhood, doughgnuts are the least of them.
Knowing about Boston and New York doughnut places was instructive: if I'm ever within 1,500 hundred mils of either, I will probably not check them out. (I lived in Boston for many years, and the doughnuts sucked.) I'd like to know about LA, Philly, Chicago, or hundreds of other places I will never visit.

I should have said "unofficial" curmudgeon, and that I don't like doughnuts.

Does the pink box that makes us think "doughnuts" have an interesting history? Was it intentionally chosen by bakers and doughnut makers long ago to symbolize their product? Or were they simply the cheapest boxes available at the beginning, and eventually became attached to pastries and doughnuts?

Damn all of you at SE! I love doughnuts AND donuts, unlike the unofficial non-doughnut eating curmudgeon. Since it IS National doughnut day I may be forced to break the rules and leave my desk to pick up a couple dozen from our local bakery. You heard it right: I'm not supposed to leave the building once I've arrived. No shackles yet but I'm sure that is next.
Doughnuts fresh from the fat are best. I didn't believe it, either, until I had one in my yeast breads class. Heavenly....

Anyone for the maple sugar donuts at the Union Square Farmer's Market?
Very YUM
