Voodoo Doughnuts....

Well I was going to have to go once. Voodoo Doughnuts has become a 'cult' destination for anyone coming to Portland. There seems to be a line out the door and around the corner at all hours. I haven't seen it without a line or at least a group in front. But there is a second location that most tourists don't know about. Across the river up Burnside is the other location, usually never a line and it is the same stuff. It is a disgusting color pink building, must have been an old Taco Bell at one time by the looks.

Yes, Captain Crunch and Fruitloops...

So what makes Voodoo so good? Well it is the name and the fact that it has been on TV shows. They sell doughnuts with different toppings, topping like kids cereal or crushed candy bars, filled with different stuff or strange shapes. There most famous is the bacon doughnut in the shape of a glazed bar. But they are just very sweet doughnuts in the end. So I went and took a look, I got a Butterfingers and a Apple Fritter, the apple fritter was just like any I had had, and the Butterfingers wasn't anything to special. But I guess you just have to go once to say you have been. Who knows, maybe I will try one of those bacon doughnuts one day.
