| - I'm not a big donut eater. I rarely eat them. But a few days ago I got a craving for donuts (Krispy Kreme are my fave) and everyone told me I just HAD to try Ronald's, by far the best in Las Vegas. After reading the reviews on Yelp, I decided I was missing out and planned to try them on Sunday morning.
This morning, Papa D and I decided to stop at Winchell's and get one or two and then head on over to Ronald's to do a comparison. We didn't arrive until almost 12 noon, so the bakery case was almost empty. I got a buttermilk and Papa D got a devil's food with chocolate frosting. The buttermilk was really buttery and had a light glaze coating. Papa D's devil's food cake was delicious, but the choc icing was really thin. Winchell's was thicker and more chocolaty (or chocolaty-er...is that a word?).
The top shelf had these GINORMOUS donut creations - cinnamon chocolate twists, which would be great for dipping, bear claws, and some really awesome looking cinammony apple creations. These things were HUGE and only $1.35 each. I had one bite of the cinnamon chocolate twist and it was pretty good, but it was a bit dry and needed some milk or coffee or something wet to go with it.
Overall, I was glad they weren't super doughy as I can't stand thick yeasty donuts. But I honestly thought Winchell's was better. We did enjoy our donuts though, and would go back if in the area.
