Mmmm….Doughnuts….
In England, Shrove Tuesday is the day to eat pancakes. (Unless you’re Anglo-Catholic apparently. The local parish is having crepes, not pancakes. Sounds very Catholic and not so Anglo to me.) On the Continent, Fastnacht, Mardi Gras, Carnevale, etc. is the day to eat fried dough. Who, I ask you, has chosen the better part?
I plump (literally I fear) for the Continent and started off the day frying up Krapfen, Shenkli, and “Naked Ladies with Their Legs Crossed“. I remain skeptical of the fried cookie (the Shenkli were not that great), but the Naked Ladies are–as I guess one should expect naked ladies to be–winners.
‘Voodoo Doughnut’ Will Put Deep-Fried Spell on You
Portland’s one of my favorite cities on the planet–albeit one I’ve only spent about a week in. If I were to move anyplace from my tepidly beloved DC, it’d probably be Portland.
The city probably has a better mix of quality local food, beer, and wine than any city on earth. And it’s quirky, dedicated, and unique places like Voodoo Doughnut that make it truly special. You want bacon on your doughnut? Cereal? You got it.

Thanks to my buddy Ivan, whose friend did the interviewing, for the tip.
