Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Don't-Got Donuts

It is just funny.

On all ends.

Used or be a Krispy Kreme near one of the offices I used to cover on the night shift for Ma Bell. You could see the donuts on the conveyer through the window. A hot off the press Krispy Kreme is a wonderful thing, for certain.

Duncan Donuts suck.

They had some killer white powdered, blueberry filled ones when I was a kiddo.

The chinks / Vietnamese OWN all of the Mom & Pop donut shops in this part of the state.
They make killer donuts, Bear claws, and cinnamon rolls and have decent prices too
The ones I have dealt with are always very polite and glad to have your business.

All Chink owned mom and pop donut shops. No wonder you’re angry, Brother Chil.

I haven’t had any from Dunkin Donuts in at least 30 years. I only ever had their French cruellers (sp?) the few times I have eaten their stuff. Around here most of the donut shops are independent and owned by Vietnamese. They do a good job and they are hard working people that run very clean operations, not as clean as the Japanese but few are. 😉

On the island down here (back for the holidays) we have a French bakery that opened about 8 years ago and has done phenomenal business. The owners retired from their international restaurant consulting business after a lifetime spent in some of the finest Patisseries in Paris. The Boulangerie they opened here has better croissants than I ever recall having the times we’ve been to France. The husband (owner) was born and raised in Paris and grew up in a family of real bakers and chefs so he knows that some things can’t be substituted and some things, even in today’s open and global “Amazon marketplace”, the original cannot be replicated from 6,000+ miles away…at least according to Pierre. He has to import European butter specifically for the croissants since every type of American butter, even their European lines of butter, don’t have a high enough fat content or too high of a moisture content which prevents them from being as crispy as they should. The flour is imported as well…..every little detail is of immense importance to a real chef or baker and it makes ALL the difference. The care and pride that some people (and cultures) feel towards food is an act of “love” and, like an artist or a fine craftsman, each piece is worthy of admiration.

I’m one that generally only has 1 meal a day, supper. I look at food more like the Europeans in that I’d rather have no meal is it’s going to be a crappy one..like fast food. I like good food and don’t eat just to eat but donuts are a guilty pleasure that I occasionally indulge in, usually for my after supper TV watching desert. Lately I’ll have a cup of real “homemade” hot chocolate using the Kirkland brand organic cocoa and a donut but it’s just a phase I’m going through and I’ll outgrow it. 😂

Beignets from Cafe du Monde in New Orleans, a cup of their Vietnamese coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice is my second favorite breakfast…. I can’t eat a big breakfast in the morning but when we’re in the tropics or Hawaii fresh squeezed juices, fresh fruit, granola and yogurt with coffee and I’m in “heaven”.

Dunkin’ Donuts got a big head over their crappy coffee and forgot about the “Donut” part of their name. If I owned a “restaurant” like DD and we were sold out of the popular donuts by 9 or 10am I would double my production. I’ve seen enough businesses sabotage their success either through ignorance or bad leadership that I don’t feel bad when they inevitably fail…..

Shipley Do-Nuts, Hot Springs Arkansas... taste like donuts did when i was a kid... got some Amish made donuts at the Symco Thresheree (antique farming show up here in Symco Wi)... Damn Good!... next summer i'm puttin 3 or 4 Doz in the freezer...

Look Everyone, it’s AlwaysHoldsFlavesCock with no cock to hold.
Now he try’s to hold CalledScum’s. Except she doesn’t have one. Guess the dickless turds on the Campfire need to run in packs, “to feel safe”

False.

All we needed to do was enforce the laws on the books.

But honestly I think it's too late to save the republic. No one has the fortitude to do what it'd take. I only hope from the ashes something is saved and starts anew.

Walmart around here HAD decent donuts. Now they seem to be two days old when they hit the shelf.

Daylight Donuts (Tulsa based, regional thing I think) is my favorite donuts. They sell the flours and recipes to independent operators. Way better than a dunkin or Krispy Kreme in my opinion.

We have a Thai family that does donuts in town. Operate it under “Shipleys” if that is regional I don’t know.

Anyway they donuts ALWAYS have an off taste and a hint of the old mama-san’s White Diamonds or Chanel#5 baked into them. 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

I just don’t know.

I stayed away for 4 years and hit up last month, same chit. Barf

Shipley's for the win....

Complain to corporate. They will almost certainly send you a book of free donut coupons. That's what they did for me when I complained about the same issue.

There's a joint in Bowling Green called Great American Donuts or something like that, and their donuts tasted weird and kind of perfumey too. I'm pretty sure I was the only round-eye in the place when I was there.

favorite Donut place is called Sugar Rush Donuts.

Wife picked up a dozen for me coming back from visiting her family.

My favorite is the strawberry glazed with sprinkles, otherwise known as the Homer Simpson

I'm sure that surprises no one on here

I was going to get a dozen for the office last week until I saw they were $23 for a dozen mixed

Ours had a neon sign in the window that lit up saying "Hot Donuts Now"

I think the last time I bought donuts was when I still worked for NASA and would pick up a dozen for the office on early shift days. IIRC, they were $3.60 a dozen at DD then. Early 80s. Haven't had one since. That's not virtue signalling; I just don't care for them.

As others have said, the chain hasn't been "Dunkin' Donuts" since 2018. Just Dunkin'. They're a coffee shop that sells fried sugar snacks - until they run out.

Gyattt dayum

I thought $13 a dozen was high at krispy kreme

Im gettin a case of the Old Fart Syndrome. Mrs slumlord used to work in a family owned shop in high school. Donuts were $.30cent each. 1989ish 😭

When theyre hot I can kill about 10 of em before turning purple. 💀

Rather eat 10 of those vs 10 white castles
