22. With regards to Dunkin Donuts, I moved to North Carolina from the Washington, D.C. area about 3 years ago. The town I moved to in SW North Carolina had no donut shop, bakery and especially no Dunkin' Donuts. The nearest one was in Atlanta, Georgia - a good 2 hours away. Using Dunkin' Donuts website, I wrote to them about building a franchise in this area of North Carolina and received a most sarcastic reply from their home office saying they get over 500 e-mails everyday asking for a store to be built near them. They went on to say that "if they could build one near me they would have to build one near where everyone else asked" and that could not be done. Its hard for me to describe how sarcastic the reply was but I do know that it left a "bitter taste in my mouth" and the desire for Dunkin' Donuts gone.

25. On Christmas Eve, we make a fried bread called a Anchovie donut. It is not a sweet dough, but a hot roll, or bread dough. We fill it with a anchovie fillet, or just dip our fingers in the oil that it comes packed in, wrap the dough around the anchovie, seal and fry in vegetable oil. My mother states my grandpa(from Italy) would eat anything if it was fried in olive oil, but we prefer the vegetable.

These are alos delicious fried without the anchovie.

26. Regarding comments on DD coffee---you will find that the H20 used meakes all the difference in the world as to how a cup of joe tastes.......eating establishments have a filtering system for their coffee makeers which enhance the coffee's flavor....

27. Believe what they say about the universal dough! It makes wonderful everything. Do-nuts, cinnamon rolls which are so easy, rolls, kolaches, pizza, your own cheesey bread sticks also too easy..and great loaves of bread : )

28. Doughnuts, yes they are good, but nothing compares to fresh, hot Indian Frybread! Put honey or mustard on it, or even salsa, and you got some good eat'n! I had mine at the Bay City County Park last summer, in Bay City, MI. Small event, family atmosphere, everyone welcome.

29. For those interested in trying "universal dough" I use Bridgeford or Rhodes frozen dough. You can find this in the freezer section (duh : ) comes 3 loaves in a bag at an average price of $2-3. Take it home and thaw it out.. put your imagination to work. Kids love making yummy treats with this stuff. : )

32. Hang on everyone.



I was born and raised in Orange County, CA, and I well remember Dunkin Donuts as a readily available thing here on multiple street corners. In fact, less than ten years ago, I lived two blocks away from one in Buena Park or La Habra (across from Ralph's on Beach Blvd). Of course, Winchell's and Yum Yum were always far more ubiquitous, but what is all of this about CA not having Dunkin Donuts? Is it in the past? Am I thinking of a different Dunkin Donus? Did they all move out of here? What's the business?

34. After reading posting # 19 from Patricia, I would have to wonder why anyone would want to give Dunkin Donuts any business at all.... If they are so negative and on the border of rude to an enthusiastic customer inquiring about a franchise near them, they really don't care about their customers at all. There are a lot of local donut shops that would be greatful for the business and have wonderfully delicious donuts as well. (FYI: I do not own or operate a donut shop...I just love donuts.

39. Donuts, oh yes. BUT the very best ever is the original "Southern Maid Donut". Elvis advertised them in the 1950's when he starred on the Louisiana Hayride and on KWKH Radio Station. Originated in Shreveport,La, they are still be advertised as being made "HOT, HOT, HOT" daily at 4:00 pm. The recipe is a secret that is as well kept as the keys to Fort Knox.

40. There was a Dunkin Donuts in Torrance off suplveda, this has been years ago. In LA the donut business has been mostly taken over by the Koreans. Or should I say California. Even Winchells has gone mostly out of business. Krispy Kreme I heard was also in trouble. I personally think dounts are "bad" for you but ya gotta love em!
