East Coast Donuts

Preliminary Report on East Coast Donuts (Dunkin Donuts):

As most of you know, I was recently in Connecticut, gathering data for a comparison report on West Coast versus East Coast donuts. Here are some of my preliminary findings:

1. Patriotic donuts are quite popular. These consist of various frostings with red-white-blue sprinkles. Pretty awesome.

2. Sprinkles on east coast donuts are crunchier than those found in the west. Very nice.

3. They do not appear to have a maple bar at Dunkin. Instead, the maple donut is round. I found this kind of unnatural.

4. The fruit filling in the filled donuts at Dunkin may involve real fruit in its manufacturing. Compared to the presumably non-fruit containing gel in west coast donuts, this should be a plus. However, I found it somewhat off-putting.

5. In summary, donuts on the east coast are somewhat different from our common western varieties. In most respects, they are very good. There are some slight differences which may take some getting used to, but I believe it would be worth the effort.
