OK - I'm ganna give Winchell's some love here. Papa D and I went on a donut quest this morning to find OUR favorite donuts in Vegas. First we started out the always ghettolicious Winchell's on Decatur at Washington. We tasted 3 donuts: white icing w/ sprinkles, choc icing w/ sprinkles, and choc icing w/ nuts. The donuts weren't as thick and doughy as I remembered them to be; they were definitely not as light and airy as Krispy Kreme (I'll review that later), but they weren't too bad. The icing was plentiful and they were sweet and yummy.
They were out of what I really wanted -- devil's food with choc icing and nuts! Oh well, I guess I can't sleep in if I want to hit the donut shops on a weekend. Lesson learned. Considering it was 11 a.m., they still had a LOT of donuts out.
Our next stop was Ronald's and although they had some cool specialty items (ginormous bear claws, cin buns and twists), I thought Winchell's was better. Their icing was thicker and I LOVE the chocolatey goodness piled on top of my donuts!
