News Article: Hurricanes smell donut

[SlavinAway]

Wrong. Frank's Bakery in Bangor, Maine (don't think it's called Frank's anymore, but that is the name I remember it by) makes the best donuts. They make a chocolate cake donut with sugared coconut topping that is just spectacular. You have to call ahead to have them reserve a dozen or two for you if you want to pick them up anytime after 8am.

Have you had both?

I knew I had a picture somewhere. Try not to drool on your keyboard....I know I'm having a hard time.

 

[MinJaBen]

Have you had both?

Yes. Been to Carolina Beach many times and needed a donut fix. Theirs are excellent. But not Frank's.

 

[Breakdowns]

I have only had Dunkin Donuts, and even that wasn't in my country

Wait, there's people that don't put ketchup on hot dogs?

Really good ketchup is a mind-blower though. I typically prefer barbecue sauce, ranch or A1 with my french fries, but if I'm at a place that makes their own ketchup from scratch? I'm all about that. The bottled supermarket stuff is tasteless by comparison.

really good ketchup is still ketchup. my friend Hans was chef of...god I forget the name of that restaurant just south of Peace on Glenwood, and he once whipped me up a bit of his fresh ketchup and it confirmed how I felt. it's just adds a bunch of nothing to the flavor of things. I'm not a hater, and I won't scrape it off a cheap burger I get, but I do not need it at all.

also, just to help with future mocking, I am firmly OK with mayo with fries. I prefer tzatziki, but mayo will do in a pinch.

Glad I'm not the only one. I don't hate katchup but if I'm doing fries with any kind of real thickness to them malt vinegar is the way to go.

Side note. Rise Biscuits & Donuts which got started only a few years ago in Durham is quickly becoming one of the hottest franchises & will probably go national in a few years.

They’re up to 18 stores. But last I heard they have 130+ stores in current development, and that was back sometime in March? My friend knows the CEO and they’re supposedly eyeing 1,000+ locations in 5 years.

It’s cool to see a N.C. business take off big time

It is best on the greasy-good fries. On dry fries, it gets absorbed too quickly.

I was going to say exactly this. my first preference is to eat fries the right thiccness and greasiness to not need any toppings at all, followed by what I described earlier. but malted vinegar is acceptable for those briny pub fries.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

mustard is ****ing disgusting

Why would you put mustard on donuts?

You haven't had fries until you've had gravy fries at Nectars in Burlington, VT at 2AM.

I have no idea how they would taste when sober, but at 2AM, they were the best damn things I ever ate.

I don't think that place existed when I was last there. We used to get fries with vinegar at place in Essex Junction on Rt. 15 just before the railroad tracks. I can't remember the name of the place back then...Pete's, maybe? The fries were so greasy that if you let them cool, they just congealed into a single piece of nasty. But when warm with some vinegar.....mmmmmmmm!

Nectars has been there for ages. It's where Phish got it's start in the mid-late 80s and I think it was around a good 10 year before that from what I was told and I think it's still there today.

Don't remember the name Pete's, but I could easily be forgetting it as it was a long time ago when I was there. I recall a place called the Lincoln inn, a bar called Murray's which was right by the railroad tracks, a restaurant/diner called JPs, another place called Martones.

I looked on Google maps and the place I'm thinking of is now called the "Essex Grill". Wasn't called that at the time, but the building looks right but has been painted at least.

Ah, I remember that place. No clue what it used to be called though.

I was last there in 1986, and all I can tell you is that you could get ice cream, french fries with vinegar, and the place was painted yellow.

Father time has reduced the rest of the memories I have of that place to fog.

Speaking of people liking weird things. My brother in-law eats peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwiches. Thank God my wife is adopted.
