Brian,
You've pegged that little bit of heaven.
HOT AND NOW~! The kids love when they can watch the whole process from the viewing windows as the donuts make their way through the process and down the rollers.
Whether it was a trip to Charlotte or AugustaI used to always bring a dozen or two back when they were only available down south. They've recently been seen here in Baltimore (Timonium and Whitemarsh) and even in Detroit (Dearborn and Warren) and saw CNN mention that they were moving west also, so no longer will I look like a fool as I carry on my two dozen KK's.
BTW did you know that the Smithsonian has a KK donut maker buried somewhere in all of the archives?
