I am not only the owner of a successful bakery in Philadelphia and a self-proclaimed donutophile, but until now, a regular enjoyer of this blog. However, after reading what can only be described as a hate-mongering bit of fried propoganda, I am appalled. Since when did that grease-covered, watered-down, rachel-loving, soulless corporation start sponsoring you? Dunkin’ Yo-nuts is a horrible franchise, and the fact that the author suggests that there ever was or still is, anything remotely edible behind those Charlie’s Angel’s orange and pink counters, suggests a complete lack of taste and shall henceforth be removed from my bookmarks. LONG LIVE THE KREME!!!

One cannot successfully achieve the perfect donut dunk with a Krispy Kreme donut, you gotta go with cake! They have a more subtle nuance to them, I think.

Here’s the thing: Dunkin’ Donuts is not high-class fare, neither are gas station donuts. I never meant to imply such a thing (though I may have with my Krispy Kreme vitriol). In fact, I will say that DD just plain sucks nowadays, with even their formerly-mighty doughnut holes now wallowing in flavorless mass-production. And Rachel Ray scares the bejesus out of me. They were never AMAZING, delicious in the way that doughnuts from our local bakers will be. But they do make CAKE-LIKE doughnuts, which I find infinitely preferable to the supersweet superfrosted yeast-risen “wet” doughnuts Krispy Kreme is known for.

@frost, we’d hate to lose your readership over one disagreement. You can keep your Kremes and I will keep my cake-like donuts (hereafter referred to as CLD), and we can toast each over over the next Weekly Libation. Or you can ignore my posts from here on in and just focus on the other editors; they all think I’m crazy anyway.

and we don’t even have Krispy Kremes here! but most of my friends who have tried them abroad rave about them and never fail to bring boxes back. now there’s like a donut rage here…. people queue like more than 3 hours just for donuts which in my opinion tastes like white bread smeared with sickeningly sweet icing. but it’s apparently ‘healthy’ since they bake their donuts… i think i should just make my own, from scratch. yes, that will be my new mission.

Yummm great doughnuts tip thanks
