> The biggest news in the donut world out here is the invasion of Krispy Kremes--yes they finally followed their manifest destiny and made it to the west coast. All the transplanted Southerners out here get that certain gleam in their eyes when they talk about Krispy Kremes...I don't quite see the attraction, myself. But then, I'm more of a "cake" donut person. How about a reader poll--cake or glazed?

Ah yes, Krispy Kreme. We do not have Krispy Kreme stores where I live. But they do have Krispy Kreme donuts in cases at United Dairy Farmers convenience stores. I dont' know where they come from...there must be a central Krispy Kreme warehouse somewhere and a truck that makes daily deliveries.

I went to college in Florida, and Dunkin Donuts was unheard of there. Krispy Kreme was everywhere. I rather liked their creme-filled donuts, and their glazed donuts were excellent. The last time I enjoyed a Krispy Kreme donut was when we visited a friend for a few days in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

I sometimes listen to a program on the local classical radio station called "From the Top" which featuers young musicians. There was one young girl who played the violin who sang on the show a jingle she had made up about Krispy Kreme donuts and how they had helped her to become a better violin player. I thought it was pretty funny. The show is recorded in New York City, and the host had never heard of Krispy Kreme donuts before.
