| - I am from the midwest, where we take out doughnuts very seriously. Certain "pink and orange" doughnut chains, for example never caught on in my home state. Because their doughnuts are awful. As I have been raised on doughnut snobbery, I have some pretty stringent qualifications. Dee's meets them all. The ideal doughnut is not overlooked; unless it is a kruller, it is not meant to crunch. It should be a light golden brown, not brown, unless it is chocolate. Glaze is not frosting and should not be thick. The texture of the doughnut should be fluffy, almost like pastry, or clouds. The doughnut shop should be spare, the case not over-ful. They should sell coffee, milk, orange juice and very little else, and it must be run by a sweet, wonderful and kindhearted family that cares about their customers. They should run out of doughnuts every morning. Because that's how you know yours are fresh. And that pretty much describes Dee's. Whenever I bring a dozen to work, diets are cast aside, and fasts torn asunder.
