A Sandwich a Day: Grilled Cheese Donut and Others from Tom & Chee's in Cincinnati
Grilled cheese is now the official overplayed food trend of 2011 and for the most part, it's not been a good one. Why anyone would pay up to $9 for the world's simplest sandwich—one that nearly anybody can make twice as well at home for under a quarter of the cost—was utterly beyond me, and I had little reason to expect that Tom + Chee, the three-location mini chain in Cincinnati would be any different. Turns out that this is a grilled cheese concept that actually works.Happy National Doughnut Day! 8 Recipes to Celebrate
How could we miss National Doughnut Day? Of course we wouldn't. The holiday is celebrated on the first Friday of June, a tradition created by the Salvation Army in 1938 to honor women who served doughnuts to soldiers returning home from World War I. While we've been known to celebrate doughnuts on many other days of the year, we have an extra special excuse today to channel our inner Homer Simpsons today. Here's a collection of our favorites: New Orleans beignets, cider doughnuts, and more.Ed Levine's Caloric Journey, Week 162: Vacation and Doughnuts Are Not a Righteous Path
Yesterday we had a doughnut tasting at SE World Headquarters. On a Thursday, no less. The day before my weigh-in. Now I know full well that doughnuts are not on the path to weight loss, or even weight control. Doughnuts are one of the big holes in my weight control game. But what would you do if you were confronted by an entire conference table filled with doughnuts? Well, I know what I did. I tasted a bunch then left the room.Happy National Doughnut Day
It only comes but once a year: a day of celebrating the doughnut, whether shaped like a tire, log, ball, or twist. Actually, we celebrate it pretty often, but this has to be the holiest of do(ugh)nut-eating days. No matter how you spell it, you should eat one today. We've got a list of our favorites from all over the country, info on where to find free ones, and recipes.Video: A Mini Donut Factory from Think Geek
This Mini Donut Factory is tragically out of stock on ThinkGeek (what a tease!) but we can watch it in action here, and hope someone in a factory somewhere is producing more pronto. The waffle iron-resembling gadget pops out six donuts in less than four minutes. But a very important question, are these really donuts if they're not deep-fried? Aren't they just donut-shaped waffles? Watch the video and decide.Disappointing Peanut Donuts at Mister Donut in the Philippines
Do good peanut donuts exist out there? The Mister Donut stand at the Manila airport's Terminal 2. [Photographs: Lee Zalben] I was on my way to Cebu, an island in the Philippines for some serious scuba diving but ran into a layover at the Manila airport. I was intrigued when I spotted a Choco-Peanut Donut at the Mister Donut, located right by my departure gate. No matter how you look at it, this donut wasn't very chocolatey or nutty! Of course I bought one, but I'm sorry to say, it was not all that special. It had very little chocolate flavor, and the peanut coating was very, very light, however the donut did have a very soft cakey texture....Donut Seeds
[Photograph: Jason Fulford] Kids will eventually want to know where donuts come from. This is actually a bag of Cheerios, the perfect gag gift for any donut-loving gardener in your life. The photograph was taken by Jason Fulford for Kenny Shopsin's book Eat Me.

[Photograph: Andrew Siddons] Fried dough and fermented cabbage aren't two things that usually join forces, except maybe in South Korea where my friend spotted this kimchi donut. It's one of five "ethnic" flavors that Dunkin' Donuts launched (they also made a yogurt-filled one in Greece and soy-filled one in Japan). Technically there's no hole, so they're calling them kimchi croquettes. File this under: potentially genius or a vile, gag reflex-inducing mistake.

Growing up in Florida, apple picking is logistically impossible. It's one of the many reasons why I've made it a tradition to go each year since I've been living up north, along with the amazing views and resulting fresh-baked pies. This year, the orchard of choice was Russell Orchards in Ipswich, Massachusetts, known more for the products sold in its outpost than for the myriad varieties of apples growing on its trees. Russell Orchards is home of New England's best cider donuts. Among its biggest claims is that Russell Orchards is home of New England's best cider donuts. Only when I saw how intensely dedicated they are to this special treat did I start taking the claim seriously: not...Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
