Donutmania

Keith, Kate, Adam and I hit the mom & pop donut circuit this weekend methodically eating our way around Boston. Our adventure started in Medford at Donuts With A Difference, by far our favorite. Other then an unfortunate encounter with sour milk, all the judged loved their Gracie Bar, a delicious cinnamon raisin bar reminiscent of a giant churro. Next we tried Lori Ann's in Charlestown, but alas, it'd been replaced by a bar. Fighting discouragement and a sugar low, we (mostly Keith) persisted by driving through the Big Dig on to South Boston where we checked out Doughboy Donuts. Doughboy was a donut/pizza shop so I ended up getting a slice of pepperoni pizza along with the donuts. Our last stop was Mike's Donuts in Jamaica Plain where the owner was so excited that we'd traveled from afar [across the river] to check out her donuts that she comped us a Boston Creme donut.
