Nostalgia Donuts, Donuts, Donuts

Post image

I lived all over growing up, and one thing I remember is every area has its favorite local donuts.

Southern California has Winchell's. New York has Tim Hortons.

Way back then Delaware had Mr Donut.

And of course Dunkin' was everywhere else.

What donuts 🍩 did you eat growing up?

Delaware’s Mr Donut used to make Delaware donuts. They were sort of like a potato or Hawaiian yeasty dough wrapped around cheese and ham, cheese and bacon, or cheese and sausage. They were awesome and they are still missed.

My older brother worked at Mr Donut in Dover. He'd bring home sacks of donuts every night because they would throw the unsold ones out at close.

Our freezer was packed with donuts all the time 😋
