wldavis Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 O.K., you guys. It's time for an update.For many years (since 1979, for sure, as that iswhen I moved to this location), the closest K-Kstore has been some 65 miles east of here. So,I have never had the opportunity to taste "them"when the "Hot" light was on. They have been truckedover here to the supermarkets, etc., so I have beenable to enjoy K-K's. But, come Saturday morning,all that will change.Our new K-K store opens at 10:00AM on January 24, andI plan to be there. I am assuming that the store willbe very crowded that day. Actually, Saturday is a "by invitation only" (according to a card my wifegot at her work). "Official" opening day is Tuesday,January 27.So, I will be thinking about you guys Saturday morningas I get my first taste of donuts when the "Hot" lightis on. Yum-yum!-Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF1 Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Just remember that you're ingesting just another doughy doughnut -- except KK uses powdered mashed potatoes in the mix. That's what gives the unique flavor...just like the old Spudnuts. And you might want to wash them down with Dr. Pepper -- which is prune juice and carbonated water.<span style="font-weight: bold">-- ALF</span> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Reatta1 Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 So that's why Dr. P gives me frizzy toots!!!!But I'll still take those KK's!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Why was this moved from the general forum? It does not appear to be profane or disrespectful to anyone. Some of our moderators are getting awfully high handed lately. This post will probably be deleted as profane and derogatory to forum moderators. Be warned that I will keep a copy of the text and it will reappear after every deletion.KK doughnuts have been a source of discussion and amusement on this forum for at least three years, long before most of the current crop of moderators ascended unto the throne. What is wrong with KK posts being on the general forum where unregistered guests can enjoy the subject with we regulars? Who knows, they might even join AACA when they realize the Club members support "fine dining." Oh yes, they are frequently served on AACA National Tours, so they sure as heck are auto related.hvs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom M Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 The one by us that opened you had to wait in a long line to get a dognut. But now 2-3 years later there are no lines to get them.Krispy Kreme will just be another fad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom M Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Well it is smewhat a new fad here in Subs of Chicago.You can go to K&K now and don't have wait compared to when they first open. Not sure what the big hype was over a hot greasy dognut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Maybe, just maybe someday you guys in the USofA will get a chance to taste delicious doughnuts at a Tim Hortons restaurant. Now that the company was bought out by Wendy's and the chain is opening in the US the quality did drop a bit but still the best! No KK here yet but I've tried them and I still prefer Tims.

rocketraider Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 I've had the Tim Hortons and they are comparable to a KK. Didn't know Wendy's had bought them, but I figure it'll be a long time before we see them here in the hinterlands of southside Virginia. We have yet to get a KK company shop, and the company HQ is less than 60 miles from here. BUT... KK delivers to Sheetz every day, straight from the main bakery in Winston-Salem. Dunkin Donuts failed miserably here, but I think it was because they opened two new stores at the same time instead of feeling out the market first and then opening the second store.

Guest Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 Tom ~ Because it is a very tasty hot greasy doughnut. Personally I like them better a couple of hours after they are made when the glaze has hardened a bit and they don't squish in handling. Thank goodness, for in that state they turn into a very tasty cool greasy doughnut. ~ hvs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wowabunga Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 >>Oh yes, they are frequently served on AACA National Tours, so they sure as heck are auto related. <<I luv their retro 1950's chrome (dinner like) archeticture... a really cool looking little building. Add in the neon they use and it's almost like being in a time machine, not sure if they make the employees wear the old style dinner paper hats. The decades old KK building in Atlanta on PonceDeLeon Ave has some really cool pics on the walls of old cars and 1950's Atlanta, worth getting out of the car to go look at.Ramble'n Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Randy Berger Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 Packin31, I agree. I've had 'em hot and I've had 'em not and I'd prefer not to have them at all. They just aint that good.

Guest Albert Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 We have a couple of Krispy Kreme here in Toronto 47 Packard, maybe you have to come down to TO for the next Barrie flea market, I thought you would be going to Robins up there, I'am normally at timmi's my self..

Guest Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 I want to show that Krispy Kreme considers itself auto-related and especially antique auto related. This photo was taken at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas. They have this lovely old panel truck parked near the elevators in the parking garage. John and I could not resist this photo op.

Guest rcirilli Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Hi Guys, we've had our KK in Cranberry, PA for a couple of years now. All of the DD people said KK would fade in a year or soooo. Well there normally aren't long lines any more but I've never been in there when at least three or four people weren't in front of me. I'll take that kind of business any day. I really don't think they are going anywhere. Just three or four at a time....all day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_klb Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Man, I practically lived at a KK shop for a few of my formative years (18 - 28) years! It was the only KK here in Mpls/St. Paul MN at the time, it wasn't like the KK shops in the east at the time, and it's long gone now. We did start getting the new "real" KK shps here a couple years ago. Of course the folks that hung out there on a regular basis talked about cars all the time, sorta like a live DF ken b.

ex98thdrill Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Most of the Krispy Kreme stores that I've been into are operated by someone who doesn't look like they came from the middle east. I can't say that about Dunkin Donuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 No problem for me. I will be spending Monday night near the Denver airport and the road out to there goes right by KK. Let's see, since I have to be at the airport at 4AM, I can pick up a box the night before and start on them at 3:30 AM when we get up. Now I wonder if I will be able to get the rest of the box through security, or will they confiscate them to eat after we leave the area. I may have to pick up Dan's box on the way back home. Or maybe Dan would prefer a cinnamon roll from Johnson's Corner. Which will it be, Danny Boy? hvs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Binger Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Howard,You mean I have to choose between the two? That is a tough one. I bet your going to tell me that I can have one or the other, huh? I will have to think about this for a while. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
