My Top Ten: Doughnuts

Written by

Is it doughnuts or donuts? Either way, they're one of our favorite and best tasting morning-time treats. Unlike muffins, bagels, or even cookies, I've never heard of a healthy doughnut- and that's just how it should be! Couple that sugary confection with a strong cup of Joe, and you're set up to have a great start to your day. 

My favorite doughnut place is tied between Jubilee and Mary Ann's. When my brother and I were younger and on our long commutes to school with our parents, every so often, on Fridays we would stop by this one Mary Ann's in Canton. That occasional special treat was always the peak of my week. Unfortunately after years of going there, they closed the building due to numerous break-ins and unsafe conditions for their employees. (That's what I was told, at least.) What a shame! 

It actually wasn't until college that I recall enjoying my first doughnut from Jubilee. I would stop by the Speedway on Waterloo and South Main every morning back when they had the good coffee made fresh in the pots, and I would get a big cup to take to class with me. (Boy, do I miss that coffee they made there.) If I had the time afterwards, I would pop in across the street for a tasty pastry from Jubilee. Those were good times.

As Homer Simpson would say, "Mmm.... donuts." There's hardly a bad one, and here's my Top Ten: Doughnuts!
