| - I do not understand these glowing reviews. A couple of Saturdays back, I decided to be adventurous and go to Welcome Chicken and Donuts. When I arrived, the place was packed, with a line out the door. I thought to myself "that's a good sign". As I got close to the counter, I started checking out the donuts, which actually looked great. There were a bunch of interesting flavor combinations, so I opted for a full dozen so we could try the full array of their donuts.
The person behind the counter told me that I was going to make somebody very happy when I get home .... then told me it was $27.00 .... not kidding .... $27.00 ... for donuts.
Okay, I can afford that, so I took my dozen donuts and headed home.
I arrive home, and grab a couple small plates, a knife, some napkins, and a small trash can for waste (I had no idea yet of how inportant that last item would be).
My wife and I sat down, and cut thr first donut in half. We both took a bite .... and we both simultaneously cringed. YUCK!
The donut tasted horrible. First off, they tasted more like bread than a donut. It wasn't just the lack of sweetness of the donut, but it's breadlike consistency (heavy, firm, chewy). So into the trashcan, and onto the next donut .... and again YUCK ... and again .... and again .... and again, until we had tasted all 12 donuts (and actually not one swallowed bite between the two of us).
So here is the part of this story where I make somebody really happy, just like the counter person predicted. I dumped the donut remains in the main garbage can, then took the bag out and double bagged it (to make sure they never get out, or poison an animal), then took it out front to our garbage can. And my wife could not be happier!!!
I have not tried the chicken (and will not, due to the way the donuts worked out). I do not understand all of these glowing reviews. Place appears to be some sort of Hipster Cult home I guess.
You've been warned. DO NOT DRINK THE KOOLAID AND DO NOT EAT THE DONUTS!!!!
