| If this is true, where are the good donuts to be had in this area? Do we have any beside KK and the horrid DD? |

No we don't. But stay tuned, an ex-lawyer will undoubtedly sniff out a 'trend' and open an artisan donut shop in Georgetown or Logan Circle soon.
btw, the hipster donut thing have been there-and-done on the West Coast for, like, 10 years |

| The Burtonsville Amish Market (which has since moved and is no longer in Burtonsville, but I forget where) had really good donuts. The one time I was there though, it looked like most of the customers had enjoyed donuts and sausages a little too much for a little too long, and it kinda made me too scared to indulge. |

| DD is known as the upper East Coasts best. Clearly you don't like donuts. |

I posted on another thread about the 30 Rock episode where the Alex Baldwin character instructs a newcomer to NYC about how to fit in. He says, "cupcakes are out, donuts are in."
That episode is a few years old, now. So maybe donuts are out now too, but I'm not hip enough to know about that. There's a good donut place in Silver Spring called The Fractured Prune. But I like DD too. |

Ditto Fractured Prune. That was always and Ocean City thing, but now they are popping up elsewhere.
But I'll stick to cupcakes. |

| Fractured Prune is THE BEST. I thought they only had shops at the DE beaches. I'm driving my pregnant ass out to Silver Spring for a doughnut!!! |

| Raised donuts, people! Where are the RAISED donuts? Any ol' place can make cake donuts (like Fractured Prune). And anyone who likes Dunkin' Donuts is deluded...that place sucks. |

I think DD quality varies from store to store honestly. But I'll take a large iced coffee dark roast from DD over Starbucks' venti iced coffee any day.

| The best donut place is any donut shop at 5 am. It is difficult to improve on sugar flour and fat except for one thing: warm sugar flour and fat. |
