Keep your Dunkin' Donuts ... KRISPY KREME is the best there is!

[Bake]

Holy crap, I ate two entire boxes of Krispy Kreme chocolate iced donuts this weekend. I pity the poor fool who lives in an area where there are no Krispy Kremes. They are God's Most Perfect Donuts. There can be NO ARGUMENT about it. Dunkin' Donuts? BAH!

Krispy Kreme, the King of Donuts.

Bake

[SeattleGirl]

1. I love Krispy Kreme donuts!

:9

[BOSSHOG]

2. Agreed My Friend, BUT

Dunkin Donuts does make a mean cup of coffee.

AND, the Krispy Kreme in Gulfport gives a military discount - OH MY!

Two boxes?? And you are not comotose and can post??

[Bake]

3. I was pretty worthless most of yesterday, but I've recovered.

:rofl:

I'll agree on the Dunkin' D's coffee. But can you believe that there are in fact people (my sister-in-law, e.g.) who actually PREFER DD's donuts over Krispy Kremes? It makes one wonder about their judgment ...

:hi:

Bake

[KG]

4. God's own donut.

[Shakespeare]

5. You are correct.

And a hot original plain glazed, fresh off the line, is something straight from heaven.

[TZ]

7. Yep.

You are making me drool....:9

[Shakespeare]

10. My car auto-turns if the "hot donuts now" sign is flashing.

Thank god I'm not in Burbank very often (I have to WANT to drive the 12 miles over the hills to the nearest Krispy Kreme), or I'd probably weight 300 pounds.

[Blue_Tires]

6. Krispy Kreme donuts and Dunkin' coffee at the same time is like touching the face of GOD

with your penis!

[Shell Beau]

8. No no no!!! Krispy Kreme are not the best!

The best are Shipley's. Hands down. They are what donuts are supposed to be.

[Shakespeare]

11. Shipley's are VERY close to Krispy Kreme in awesomeness.

They just don't have as many stores. They've both got the OMIGOD factor down perfectly with their hot plain glazed. :9

[Shell Beau]

15. And the original Shipley's is in my home town and their

donuts top them all! Especially when they are hot!! :9 The best!!!!!!

[Bake]

24. Pfffft! I've had Shipley's. Not bad.

A good donut, in fact. But no substitute for Krispy Kreme!!!!

Bake

[Shell Beau]

41. You've probably just had the one in Clinton!! It is not nearly

as good as the old school one which is in the Delta!!! :9

Krispy Kreme???? Please!!!!!


;)

[Bake]

51. My paralegal brings 'em in on Fridays.

It probably is the Clinton store. I'm not knockin' them, they are good!!

But Krispy Kremes? Still the all-time best.

Bake

[Shell Beau]

55. There is also a good donut shop in Pocahontas called

Murphee's! mmmm!!! Yummy! And again, much much better than Krispy Kreme. But, like Shipley's, they need to be hot to taste them at their best.

The only Shipley's around here is in Clinton.

[BOSSHOG]

30. May I ask

where is your home town? I recall growing up in Fayetteville, Arkansas in the mid to late 60's and there was a Shipley's that had an incredible product including bread and biscuits. There was also a Shipley's family in town. The smell around the store was incredible.

[jobycom]

34. Shipleys are all over Texas. IIRC, there was one in Bay St. Louis

back in the late 60s, when I was a toddler. At least, I remember it as a Shipleys.

Like there will be more than maybe three people (you maybe being the other one) on DU who remember Bay St. Louis in the 60s. IF that. :)

[Shell Beau]

39. I grew up in Greenville, MS. These may have been different families

because my mom and her siblings grew up on Shipley Donuts in the 50's!!

On edit: After doing a little research, it looks as though it started in Houston. I was always told it started in Greenville. I guess because it was in Greenville waaaay back when!

http://www.shipleydonuts.ws/company.html

[Shakespeare]

43. I used to get them in College Station when I was at A&M.

mmmmm...now I want one!

[Shell Beau]

44. When they are hot, they melt in your mouth!!

:9

[MrCoffee]

101. Hell yes they started in Houston!

Shipley Do-Nuts were the BOMB on Saturday morning when I was a wee lad.


Shipley > Krispy Kreme > Dunkin

[texanwitch]

13. Yes, yes, yes.

Shipley's are the best.

I tried a Krispy Kreme, just cooked.

Shipley's are not only better but bigger.

[kentauros]

74. I will second, third, fourth and fifth that!

:D

You can keep your Krummy Kreme (and the childish spelling!) They should have paid Firesign Theater to use a clip from their comedies, i.e. "More Sugar!!!" ;) Ugh, diabetes in your hand.

I'll take Shipley's any day of the week

[CBGLuthier]

9. DD is owned by the Carlyle Group

I won't spend one penny at DD. Not if it enriches the family Bush.

[Chan790]

23. and KK is owned by the evil ConAgra Foods conglomerate...

it's impossible to live today without enriching someone evil.

[CBGLuthier]

56. degrees of evil

I pewrsonally consider the members of the Bush family to be some of the truliest evil people to have ever lived. Especially Poppy. I believe he murdered John Lennon and had Reagan shot. I am of course a conspiracy nut but so long as I believe that I will make my choices.

Now, how evil is ConAgra compared to that?

[kentauros]

75. And Shipley's is owned by...Lawrence W. Shipley, III

;)

President of the company, Lawrence W. Shipley, III, continues the tradition with strong growth and high expectations for the future. Lawrence III carries on the tradition of great Do-Nuts and kolaches and strives to find better ways of making your mornings start off right. He continues to expand the company, careful however to grow slowly, while never compromising the quality of the product and excellent customer service.

Although I don't agree with their definition of a "kolache". I don't know who corrupted the meaning from "pig in a blanket" to what "The Kolache Factory" calls a "kolache" but they should look like this:







koláček

[texanwitch]

84. Damn, I so want kolache right now.

I need to make a run to the country to buy some.

My Grandmother made the best.

I want a apple kolache right now, hell more then one.

A kolache is way better then a donut, any day.

[kentauros]

89. I agree about kolaches being better than donuts

:)

My favorite fillings were always the poppyseed kolaches :)

When I used to take I-10 to 71 to get to Austin (I now take 290 out of Houston) was it Bastrop that sold kolaches like that or am I thinking of another one of those small towns the Houston to Austin route took? I know Bastrop has a nice little bakery in the town square, but can't remember if they sell kolaches or not.

One of these days I'll just find a really good recipe and make my own. Let everyone at work truly understand that the crap they buy at Kolache Factory ain't the real thing ;)

Or post your Grandmother's recipe :D

[texanwitch]

90. I will have to look for the recipe, if I can't find my Grandmother's I do have

Czech country cookbook with Kolache dough recipe, should be the same.


Hallettsville, Tx as a place called The Country Bakery, that is where I buy my Kolaches.


Just like Grandma's.


I think they have a website also.

[texanwitch]

91. Here is the website, I have to get there soon.

Kountry Bakery | 1.800.385.4767
For over 25 years, the Kountry Bakery has delighted friends, neighbors and visitors from all over Texas who come for its fresh-from-the oven treats. ...

[kentauros]

95. I notice they have a link to Shiner...

Might be worth a roadtrip, go to Schulenburg, tour Shiner breweries, et al :D

Thanks for the link. It looks like they ship, though I'm not entirely sure about that. They don't really say, other than it being online ordering...

I think once any KK-lover had one of those kolaches, they'd wonder why they ever wasted their money on KK :P

[texanwitch]

99. I think they have more then one place.

I need me a road trip there really bad.

I love the farm to market roads, need to take pictures.

I will have to go next week now.

I need me a apple kolache, or two or three.


Hell, I will buy 2 or 3 dozen and freeze them.

I grew up in this area, I do miss it.

[kentauros]

103. I didn't grow up in it,

but as a kid, the whole family took a week-long trip to New Braunfels every summer to visit my father's sister and her family. So, we naturally stopped at the good bakeries along the way and back :)

Oh, here's the history of Hallettsville according to the Handbook of Texas Online :)

[kentauros]

92. I haven't found a website yet

but saw they spell it "Kountry Bakery" so it's at least got that silly naming theme like KK here ;)

I just need to find a place along the 290 route that has comparable kolaches :D

[texanwitch]

96. I forgot about the spelling,

Trust me the kolaches are just like Grandma made.

I looked at the website, looks like they will ship them as well.

I didn't know this or I would have ordered some already.

I am going to order some Monday.

[kentauros]

102. Well, there ya go

:)

Be sure to share ;)

[texanwitch]

104. Share, I don't think so.

I have no control when I am around apple kolaches, none.


I could eat a dozen, no problem.


Everyone has to get out my way.

[kentauros]

105. That's understandable

:D

I ordered a German Chocolate cake with buttercream frosting for our workplace's 13th anniversary tomorrow, if only from a bakery I've bought pastries from before (Three Brothers Bakery.) It should be good, but I did discover that "good ol' boys" don't seem to understand what pastries are. If it's not a do-nut, they're confused

[texanwitch]

109. Good pastries are hard to find.

I have always been picky since I grew up with the best homemade.

Good luck with the German Chocolate cake.

[kentauros]

134. Thanks! :)

I see y'all have been busy overnight, what with defending our heritage and all (I'm not Czech/German but do have some direct connections...) ;)

I think we need a Texas Kolache thread

[datasuspect]

110. that looks like a danish

these are kolacky

[Shakespeare]

111. I'm going to have to chime in with the other Texans and say that no, the first pic is a kolache.

And I'd LOVE to have one right about now. :9

[datasuspect]

112. texans don't know dick about european pastries

maybe 50 or so years ago in some areas where germans or czechs predominated they did, but those vestiges are long gone, rubbed out in retail scarred small towns with no local flavor with the exception of wal mart, schlotzkys, golden corral, and a beer joint or two.

i'll side with the poles and bohemians regarding kolacky.

[Shakespeare]

113. Riiiiiiight.

Dunno much about central Texas, do you?

[datasuspect]

114. i've lived in austin - it's now houston lite

whatever european influences remain in the hill country are ultimately vestigial and largely german and czech in scope.

you will find more austin and houston yuppoids in the hill country than you will native german speakers.

it doesn't mean you can't find a decent bakery in texas, but it does mean the majority of texans don't know dick about european pastries, because they call a pig in a blanket a "kolache."

and a pig in a blanket is not a buttery pastry with a fruit or cheese filling in the middle of it.

[Shakespeare]

116. The biggest swath of Czech communities stretch from just west of College Station to....

...just south of Houston. The influences are NOT vestigial--it's in the food, the music, and the families who've been there for generations (geez, just take a look at the names on the blue-ribbon winners at teh Caldwell Kolache Festival over the years). I still have several close friends from school (Texas A&M) who are Texas-Czech, and the food and the traditions are quite strong. If you're holding up metro Austin as the example, you're looking at the wrong place.

And the pig in blanket is misnomered, and actually a variation of a different Czech pastry, the klobasnek.

[texanwitch]

121. I know what pig in a blanket is.

I help my Grandmother make enough of them.

The Kountry Bakery had great pigs in a blanket.

You have to go to the small towns like Hallettsville to get the real thing.

My Grandmother was first generation so her recipes where from the old country.

I wish I could bake as good she could.

A lot of the old country ways went when my Grandparents generation passed away.

When I was a little kid I could speak Czech, but not now.


I don't know why we didn't have it in school.

[datasuspect]

122. i lived around lots of czechs when i grew up in chicago

they call all czechs "bohemians" up north.

the best bakeries were in berwyn and cicero. minareks and fingerhut were the best. they sold pazcki (sp?) too.

yummylicious

[Shakespeare]

123. I would LOVE to have your kolache recipe, if it's one you can share.

:hi:

I'm all homesick now. Texas is an impressive melting pot all on its own--I keep thinking about Tejano music, which owes its uniqueness to, of all things, the Czech/Polish influence. The most disparate cultures have come together down there in the very coolest ways. :loveya:

[texanwitch]

125. Most people don't know about Czech/Polish influence on the Tex/Mex music.

If you listen you can hear it.

Texas has a little of everybody here, my family tree is a little of all the cultures.

I can't find my Grandmother's recipe but I do have Czech cookbook with two recipes for kolache dough.

Both of them look OK.

[texanwitch]

128. Kolache Dough

1 pkg.dry yeast

1 cup milk

1/2 cup butter Crisco or oleo

1/4 cup sugar

2 small eggs

1 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. nutmeg

3 1/2 cup flour



Combine milk, and oleo. Heat to melt ingredients. Let cool. Add yeast and sugar.

Let stand until foamy. Add eggs and salt. Add flour enough to make dough.

Pull away from the bowl and let rise. Pat or knock down dough.

Fill with your favorite filling.







3 cup warm water

1/2 cup warm milk

2/3 cup shortening

1/2 cup sugar

l large egg

2 Tbsp. dry yeast

Salt

71/2 to 81/2 cup flour.



Dissolve yeast in warm water and warm milk and put into bowl with the rest of ingredients. Mix and add flour a little at a time.

Work dough and let rest for 5 to 8 minutes.

Work dough until smooth. Let set until double in size.

Make rolls or use dough the size of eggs for kolaches.



I don't know the temp to use to bake the kolaches, the recipes didn't say.


I would guess 375 or 400.

I hadn't made kolaches in a long time so I will have to relearn.

This will give you a idea of what to do.

I think you also put melted butter on the kolaches


when you take them out of the oven.



I really need to find my Grandmother's recipes.


Good luck.

[Shakespeare]

129. Thank you!!

I'll definitely be giving these a try soon. 375 sounds about right on the oven temp. :9

[texanwitch]

131. I am guessing because I haven't made any in several years.

I always had trouble with the yeast.

[texanwitch]

115. Me to.

I may try to make some this weekend.

[Shakespeare]

118. I'm thinking about it, too, especially with apricots in season.

It's in my top-top list of things I miss most from Texas (right up there with good barbecue and chicken fried steak). :9

[texanwitch]

124. I make a mean chicken fried steak.

Most people haven't had a real good chicken fried steak, and homemade cream gravy.

My Grandpa could barbecue, and all he used was simple set up.

He had tin for the 3 sides and chicken wire on the top, cooked with pecan wood and a little oak wood.

He also used Shiner beer in making the bbq sauce.

I miss those days.

They had big garden in the back of the house, fresh everything.

[Shakespeare]

127. One of the best things about the microbrew craze, is that Shiner Bock is everywhere now.

:rofl:

That was my go-to beer when I was in college, because it was usually the cheapest by-the-pitcher beer. Good stuff--and almost surely where I developed my taste for darker beers.

[texanwitch]

130. My Grandfather I would drive to Shiner to buy the beer in bottles.

There were always several cases under the stairs.

I only drink Shiner myself.

[Tektonik]

12. Krispy Kreme is the best donut hands down

[huskerlaw]

14. Krispy Kreme is disgusting.

Absolutely vile crap. :puke:

[SeattleGirl]

16. Blasphemy!!!

:rofl:

[Blue_Tires]

17. propagandist!

[TZ]

19. Why do you hate America?

;-)

[LSK]

20. I agree

[KC]

68. I agree

too. They are way too sweet and doughy.

25. You WANT to go to hell, and you don't want to wait in LINE!!!

You probably eat dog turds, too.

:hi:

[jobycom]

37. Yeah, I'll bet you hate the Beatles, Mom, and apple pie, too.

:rofl:

[av8rdave]

47. You obviously haven't gone in to get them when the "Hot Donuts Now" sign is lit

Don't know why I still like them. I lost a bundle on their %$#@ stock.

[huskerlaw]

48. I have!

I just don't get it...they're gross!

[av8rdave]

49. I know they're not good for you, but I like them for some sick reason

[huskerlaw]

50. I usually have no problem with "bad for you" food...

hell, that's the best tasting kind of food! And I love donuts in general. But I just do NOT understand Krispy Kreme. :shrug:

[av8rdave]

52. Believe me, I don't have them often...

I think about 80% of them by weight stay with me!

[Dangerously Amused]

18. I always wondered why everybody made such a BFD was about a stupid donut.

Then I had a Krispy Kreme.

OH. MY. GOD.




And I don't even like donuts!!

[Fox Mulder]

21. They're alright if you like cold, stale doughnuts.

:puke:

[Shakespeare]

22. You're not supposed to have them cold or stale.

The ideal Krispy Kreme is hot off the production line. Once it gets cold, its glory fades.

But when it's hot off the line? Foodgasm.

[Chan790]

28. Not available most places...

many KKs and most of the ones in New England no longer cook on the premises but instead get their donuts shipped in. The only way they come locally is cold and stale.

[Fox Mulder]

31. I've never had a fresh krispy kreme donut.

Every one that I've had, they were cold and stale. The only place that makes fresh donuts every morning is my local gas station, and those are good.

[Bake]

76. Never had a fresh hot Krispy Kreme? You haven't lived.

That's all I can say! I pity you, in a good way of course!

:hi:

Bake

[TZ]

36. Yeah but even if they are cold you can pop them in the microwave

and warm them up..not quite as good as fresh, but pretty tasty nonetheless!

[Bake]

27. Even cold and stale Krispy Kremes are better than anybody else's fresh donut!

But hot off the line? The PERFECT donut!!

Bake

[Fox Mulder]

32. I'll have to disagree with you there.

[evlbstrd]

26. I disagree.

Lamar's.

29. Archaeologists have discovered that the manna of the Old Testament

was actually fresh, hot KRISPY KREMES!!! Little known fact, but true!!

Bake

[grace0418]

33. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too sweet for me. I can't stand them.

Dunkin Donuts are too greasy. There is a local bakery in Chicago called Dinkels that has great donuts.

But I'm glad you've enjoyed yours. If we were in a situation where both of us got a box of Krispy Kremes, I would gladly give you mine. :hi:

[Common Sense Party]

46. Waaaaaay too sweet is an understatement.

There's no flavor--it's just raw sugar.

[jobycom]

35. Visit Texas, try Round Rock Donuts.

You will never eat at Krispy Kreme again. (Well, you will. I do. But it won't be the same!)

[GOPisEvil]

62. I have to admit, I'm not a huge fan of RR's glazed.

I mean, they're good, but not all that. Now their other donuts are very good. Maybe it's that they're yellow. Something just doesn't look right.

[jobycom]

67. I... um...

er... (Checking the poster's handle one more time)... Seriously?

[GOPisEvil]

69. Like I said, I DO like them, but I don't know that I'd wait in line for them.

But then I don't wait in line for much.

[jobycom]

70. Alright. I still love you.

I just understand you a little less than before. :rofl:

[GOPisEvil]

63. dupe.

[YankeyMCC]

38. C'mon New Englanders where's the love for DnD?

I first uncounted these so called "Donuts" from this place Krispy Kreme while stationed in Biloxi and they are not even of the same species as a good thick, heavy cakelike DnD donut!

(I think it has a lot to do with what you were brought up with, the St Louis area has a traditional donut style different from either and I didn't like them either :) And it's really just about the coffee anyway, that's why Krispy Kreme hasn't done well up here in the New England area)

[Chan790]

79. I'm a nutmegger and I work for Starbucks...

so DD is the enemy. Actually the donuts are good but the coffee...swill.

I grew up on it and was convinced into my 20s that I hated coffee because of Dunkin Donuts. It's under-roasted stale battery-acid. It's good for cleaning drains with though.

[mitchum]

40. No argument from me; I can wipe out half a dozen just on the drive home from the place

[TrogL]

42. TIm Horton's has them both beat

[Rhythm]

72. Horton's are good... but why is there...

a donut shop on every block in Ontario? I actually saw two Tim Horton's on opposite sides of the street in the same block in London. Toronto was just as bad... TH's staked out on every corner almost.

What is it about donuts up there? Is it just necessary to have something with the coffee that keeps the blood from freezing?

[Common Sense Party]

45. KK are not even donuts. They're just granulated sugar in a round form.

It's like eating cotton freakin' candy. There's no there there.

Gimme something to chew.

[Danger Mouse]

53. Gah, how can you eat more than one at a time? It's like a fistfull of sugar to the jugular.

That being said, they ARE good.

[Bake]

54. I've tried 'em all. DD, Tim Horton's, Shipley's, etc.

Krispy Kreme RULES!!

Bake

[lost-in-nj]

57. DD's are better

than KK

but neither compare to a REAL bakery donut....


mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm



:hi:


lost

[One_Life_To_Give]

58. You can have the KK's

Had one at that was enough. Can't figure out why I would want another Krispy Keme or a Cotton Candy.

Now a Rasberry Jelly filled and large black coffee would hit the spot.

[Bake]

59. KK's jelly-filled are good too!

I just go nuts for the chocolate iced ones.

Bake

[bixente]

60. These two places have surfaced in my mind of late

Cesc Fabregas was once sighted at a Krispy Kreme establishment. If you don't know, he's a Spanish footballer who also represents well the North London club Arsenal FC.

For some days Toru Okada would do nothing but make his way to a bench in downtown Shibuya, observing passers by. For lunch he would purchase a donut and coffee at a local Dunkin' Donuts. This is in relevance to a fictional tale by Haruki Murakami titled "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle."

I haven't ate or drank from either, though.

[DarkTirade]

61. You just had to taunt me, didn't you.

:cry:

[Bake]

78. I was bloated on KK's and just had to share the joy.

:rofl:

Bake

[DarkTirade]

82. Bastards somehow KNEW I was moving here

so they closed the ONE Krispy Kreme within 60 miles. :cry:

[Bake]

87. ROAD TRIP!!!

Sounds like there's a road trip coming on ... it'll be worth it.

Bake

[RevolutionaryActs]

64. Well shit. Now I really, REALLY, want a donut.

I don't care what kind of donut, just a donut. Damn you DU and damn you PMS. x(


:P

[Skittles]

65. I absolutely disagree

I find Krispy Kremes absolutely revolting

[Bake]

77. Somehow that doesn't surprise me.

Viva la revolucion!!

:hi:

Bake

[raouldukelives]

106. Agreed!

Ick! I kept hearing how great they are and when I bit into my first one it was like a diabetic exploson in my mouth. I took one more bite and tossed it.
I'll stick with the small donut shop down the street that makes yummy bear claws.

[ccharles000]

66. When you eat krispy kreme...

your mouth has an orgasm.

[Rhythm]

71. The siren's song... *** HOT DONUTS NOW! ***

Surest way to get me to pull into the parking lot.

Oktoberain had heard me speak repeatedly about the ambrosia that is a hot KK straight off the line, and how i had once finished a whole dozen by myself (because when they're hot like that, they're like cotton candy), but she did not BELIEVE until we were in Clearwater FL a couple of years back, and stopped at a KK shop because the light was on.

Instant conversion.

The closest location to where we live is about 80 miles north of here, and when WVU is back in session in the fall, i am sorely tempted to talk one of our friends into a "food-trip", wherein we will go and get Popeye's chicken and dirty rice for lunch, then geta couple of boxes of KK glazed for dessert. :9

/why no, i'm not gonna die young.
//why do you ask?!

[Captain Hilts]

73. NO contest! Krispy Kremes all the way!

[MrScorpio]

80. Nice post, Homer

Mmmmmm, God's most perfect donuts

98. Ah -HA! I thought I was the only one who remembered that book.

Hell, I've got it around here somewhere....*scratches head*.....

[NJmaverick]

81. I am 44 years old and NEVER had a Krispy Kreme

Sometimes I wonder if I am missing out on something

[Bake]

93. Are you missing out? Heck YES!!!

You're missing out on one of the greatest joys in human experience!! Go, now, right now, and seek out the treasure that is Krispy Kreme! You will NOT be disappointed, except that it took you 44 years to find them!!

Bake

[lildreamer316]

97. I will travel to the original home of Krispy Kreme, one town over, and send you some.

'Cause you can't go much longer without, even if you don't know it..lol.

[ThePowerofWill]

83. Having grown up in the land of KK i was 20 before i knew any other kind existed.

Here in N.C. where i'm from anything but a KK donut was considered 2nd class. Raspberry filled, and Blueberry with powder sugar topping are my 2 faves.

[Sequoia]

85. Too sweet for me.

You ate how many??!!! Good lord. Careful, you're going to tip the scales.

[Bake]

94. Two boxes. Total, 12 donuts.

They were the chocolate iced, so they were lying flat in the box, six to a box. It took a while to knock 'em all off. My son griped that I ate 'em all, so I had to go get more so he could have some too!

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Krispy Kremes!!!!

107. Bad mom/dad !!! Jeez, look at all the posts over doughnuts!

Must be a lot of cops on this website !! Heh, heh...!!

119. Ah, wha a sweetie you are.

I used to work at a Spudnuts. The flour is from potatoes and they were very fluffy doughnuts. There's a doughnut place by my work and they provide the pastries to many hotels around here. No Dunkin', no Spudnuts, and no Krispy Kreme. As a matter of fact, the Krispy Kreme in our town got closed down.

117. They both suck. Donuts only good when fresh.

Go to a locally owned donut shop.

132. Neither one can carry Honey Dew's Donutstrap.

KK sucks. D'D is good because there's at least a variety.

133. Ouch!

I miss them terribly but even if I had a Krispy Kreme next door, I can't have them ever again. Unless they come up with some sort of fix for my Celiac.
