| - A Veritable YEAST FEAST
Just before writing my 5 star review for ROYAL DONUTS, noted the numerous raves for the until-then-unknown-to-me JACK FROST. Wrote my review, then pulled up Jack's to read more.
I was so weak with the delerium of reminiscing over a recent and rare Royal visit and their excellent Chocolate Fried cake-style, that just HAD to sample Jack's---this very day---less than 2 hours ago. It just happened to be down the road from the former Goodmans (boo-hoo) Sandwich shop---now Corky and Lenny's Express---which was going to be visited anyway---so why not sample a brand new sweet treat, too. Darn those pesky little arteries.
More the traditionalist, rather than choosing any fanciful-flavored or unusually-topped options (many favorites per the numerous commentaries), as first-time visitors we'd go with the basic for a true test. Haven't had a good raised glazed since I was a little bratty kid. So standard sugar-glazed style it was---4 round-with-holes, about 2" high !!!, and looking like miniature ottomans, not doughnuts...and 2 of their hefty twists.
OPEN THAT DONUT BOX ! NOW ! Forget eating the corned beef.
Light, like clouds. Delicioso...ethereal. Ate one...then another half. Couldn't get through even 1/4 of my corned beef. Thank you, Jack. And thank you yelp, for having this yelpful site. It's a Foodies Discovery Source.
And the winners are . . . .
ROYAL . . . . . . . . . .5 Stars for Chocolate fried-cake-style
JACK FROST . . . . 5 Stars for raised glazed.
Life is good.
