The big neon Krispy Kreme sign was the cause of some shenanigans for New Mexico police back in 2001.

Apparently when you land your po-po chopper so your second seater can run in for a dozen hot, fresh donuts people get ticked...

That is the best time to get a Krispy Kreme,

Absolutely. I generally don't get Krispy Creme, but they got them at work quite a bit when there was a Krispy Creme in town. Definitely a difference fresh out of the oven*. I would also, if they had been sitting in the coffee mess for a while, just zap them in the micro for like 5 seconds to get them closer to "oven fresh".

*Of course, most everything baked tastes best fresh out of the oven (or the oil). I bake bread once a week and always overindulge after I pop it out of the oven. My excuse being, "Well, I can't used the end pieces (I make it in a dutch oven, artisan shaped) for sandwiches or toast, so I might as well slather butter on them and eat them now."

You rat bastard.

Now I want fresh bread...

I used to make all my own bread (machine). Ate a lot of "useless ends" when they were still hot enough to scorch my taste buds...

I am not a huge fan of Krispy Kreme, but people have told me I need to try fresh ones from one of the actual outlets (none close by). They seemed more like candy than a donut. Cake donuts are nice, but not my preference. The traditional donuts are the best to me. The main complaint I have is shops being stingy on the icing. Donut Haven in Clute, TX near work (run by Asians by coincidence) is very good. Tasty with enough icing. Occasionally, I get them warm from the oven and they melt in your mouth.

Which kind of donut is the traditional kind?

That is the best time to get a Krispy Kreme, they have a big neon sign they light up on the building so you know when a fresh, hot batch has just been pulled from the fryer. Here they used to give you a free donut if you asked when you walked in. I think they have stopped that practice. I haven't been in there for 5 or 6 years.

They still do that at the Krispy Kreme in Fenton, Missouri. I had to meet someone there a few months ago, and the kid at the counter offered me a fresh, hot "donut." I passed. I'll get my empty calories from better-quality donuts, thank you.

My mom occasionally made fresh homemade glazed donuts. That pretty much spoiled me for any store bought donuts.

We had to do some serious begging though. They were time consuming and made a mess of the kitchen.

My mom used to make them when I was a kid. I've made them a couple of times, and yeah, it's a whole big thing, which, coupled with my laziness, I'm kinda glad of, or else I'd weigh 400lbs.

Got any Casey's General Stores (gas station) near you? They sell a glazed Persian which is pretty good.

Ahhhh. They just opened a Casey's at the end of my road, haven't been inside it yet.

There is a Kwik Trip equidistant to my house- its been my go-to place since they opened 2 years ago.

Krispy Kreme is magic if they are pulling them right off the fryer for you.

Dunkin is always crap, all the stores get frozen product and microwave.

When I was a kid we would go to the local Dunkin Donuts on Sundays after church. You could watch them make the donuts in the back through big glass windows.

Maybe I should have said standard? Most of them around are of the same type. Some are better than others. I don't know what to call it.

To another comment: I recall my Mother making homemade donuts when I was little. My brother and I got to glaze them. They were great.

I have never understood the appeal of Dunkin' Donuts. That was always a big thing when I was in CT as a kid and I was always like "meh".

We had a local joint called Spud Nuts. Now, THAT was a treat.

Krispy Kreame was also what I grew up thinking donuts were supposed to be. Dunkin' Donuts are dry.

I do like Duck's Donuts, but one of those is instant diabetes. The maple and bacon ones are like eating an entire pancake breakfast in one donut.

We had one in my home town, closed probably 20 years ago. Harold's Spud Nuts.

There is one in Okiboji, IA that I visit that one when work takes me there.

I used to think that also, then someone started putting a slice of bacon on them, now they are not quite as safe.
