Thanks for the memories. Growing up my grandpa was the donut man at a local gas station. All the donuts were made fresh on site every night. I spent many graveyard shifts with him in the back whipping up all kinds. The best was a plain cake donut fresh out of the grease and way too hot to eat. God I miss him and those donuts
please , can anybody help me, since Hurricane Katrina, I had to relocate up north, i miss my apple fritters soooo much from tastee donuts,
Does anybody have recipe?????????/ thanks
strawberry frosted w/ rainbow sprinkles!
i also enjoy[ed] apple-filled dounuts
Crullers!! hands down # 1---glazed blueberry cake w/coffee #2. but CRULLERS alone!
Last time I saw a Tim Horton's was in Halifax Nova Scotia...
Cafe Du Monde is great for chicory coffee, but I would have to agree about the beignets being better at the other place.
Yes, I guess I have not seen those type of crullers around now that you specify...I kinda like my own pop-n-fresh donuts!
Anything without peanuts! (Sorry, I don't like nuts in my dessert.)
And my mom still gets a little teary-eyed when thinking about Chock Full O'Nuts nutted cream cheese sandwiches.
Crullers.
toolminer! Thanks for mentioning those Chock Full O' Nuts donuts. (Remember the nutted cream-cheese sandwiches?) They were so good. Haven't thought about 'em in years...
Oh my God Sanba! I absolutely LOVED McKenzie's King Cake. It's still my all time favorite to this day, followed by Tastee Donuts. What a good memory, thank you!
My all-time favorite donuts were the whole wheat & powdered sugar ones at the old Chock Full 'O Nuts chain in NYC.
Otherwise I have to go with the Dunkin Donuts plain classic.
I remember when they came with little "handles" so you could really dunk them. Mmmm. But not as mmm as Chock Full 'O Nuts.
Plain old raised glazed for me; I like the glaze to be fresh and sticky. I also enjoy cake doughnuts with blueberries and/or buttermilk in the mix.
Drops! As in Buttermilk drops. New Orleans' former MacKenzie's Bakery (closed due to health and money problems) had two things that I loved more than anything: King cakes and buttermilk drops. The buttermilk drops were big, round doughnuts, fried to a golden brown and then lightly glazed. Sadly, I couldn't find a picture of them. (Now that MacKenzie's is gone, I can only go to Coffee & in Gretna and Marrero in Jefferson Parish. Everything is good there, but the jam-filled ones are my favs.)
Morning Call is definitely better for beignets (and service!) than Cafe du Monde. When I was home visiting from Hong Kong in January, I ate my fill on them and forced my fiance to do the same (he wasn't so amused). I prefer CDM's cafe au lait, though.
Now that I'm in Asia, my favorite are Japanese-style twist doughnuts, cake doughnuts, or (BEST BEST BEST) an (red bean) doughnuts. I'm a bit biased, having worked at a Japanese bakery as a student, but omgdroolyum. For those in Boston, Japonaise in Porter Square and Brookline has these and are authentically good. :)
