Top Pot not so hot

Taught a class to aspiring young writers at Hugo House about food reviewing. We tasted and talked doughnuts, which I picked up early Saturday, but these good-looking pastries tasted day old and some were downright greasy.

We started a blog to record our mini reviews, calling it The Dough-Nuts. (www.thedough-nuts.blogspot.com) Just wondering if you can pick out the donuts that look out of place in this pic... because I put some Hostess "ringers" in there,  just to see if anyone would bite or if discerning palates could tell a difference. (Yes, the Hostess were gross!! Way too chemically sweet and dry.)

What's your favorite doughnut place in Seattle and beyond?

I don't know if it counts as a "doughnut shop", but I'd have to vote for Cafe du Monde (beignets and coffee) in New Orleans.

The Lovin' Oven in Espanola, NM. Oh man, when they are hot out of the grease and crispy on the outside and steamy warm on the inside...that's as good as it gets.
