Always baffled by recommendations that are prefaced with "Hey, I don't really like the thing I'm recommending." Why should we listen, then? Krispy Kreme are foul, sorry, and that pretty much proves that you're not a donut person.

Much debate over donuts in Chicago since the new addition of Stan's from LA. However, I still stick with Glazed and Infused as the best donuts I've ever had: http://www.goglazed.com/

Doughnut Plant (http://doughnutplant.com/) in NYC is pretty solid as well.

Not a particularly big fan of Voodoo Doughnuts in PDX, but I've been known to head there after several beers. Will have to sample Blue Star the next time I'm out there.
