Like most red-blooded Americans, I have had a life-long love affair with donuts. I made them with my cousin Ellen in St. Louis when we were kids. I fell in love with Dunkin' as a teenager. I would walk a mile, any day, for a French Cruller (the most fattening donut of all). And I consumed as many Krispy Kreme's as a New York City gay man was allowed in the 90s.
So yeah, I love my mass-produced donuts. But I was simply floored a few years back when I discovered The Donut Plant. This is NYC's premier gourmet donut maker. Happily, they opened their first non-factory branch in my hood a couple years ago. It's in the Chelsea Hotel, which makes The Donut Plant the donut company with the coolest instincts on earth. All of their flavors are mouth-watering. Check em out here. But take note: If you want to taste perhaps the greatest donut ever made, the coconut creme is the one worth flying to New York to devour. Fortunately, I live two blocks away. Grin. Lip-smack. Mmm mmm good.
my fave donut is the creme brulee.
My fave blogger is you! So happy Upright and Stowed has landed again!

I remember fondly our donut making days.
