A Culinary Tradition
Donuts are more than just a simple snack; for many, they embody a lifestyle centered around flavor and quality. Kenneth Thomas, the tour guide, emphasizes this philosophy as he shares his passion for donuts, probing questions about freshness and the enthusiasm of the shop owners. “A lot of actually eating donuts and asking ourselves, ‘Is this really the best? Is this fresh? Are the owners really enthusiastic?’ And if the answer is yes to all of those, we include it on our tour,” Thomas notes.
