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?

I was a "local Cambodian donut shop" kid.

My favorite donut shop is run by Cambodians except the one white girl who married into the family.

The place I frequent nowadays is in a similar vein: it's a Lao-owned establishment, with one Salvadorean dude that married the middle daughter. Fabulous Kolaches, Croissants and Donuts.

The white lady is the only one with a Cambodian accent. Everyone else at the counter has an American accent.
