1 I would suggest different donuts. KK. Yeck. And I live in the state that spawned them.

2 So if I eat a half-dozen Winchell's doughnuts in one sitting that'll be okay . . . ? I actually prefer standard doughnut-shop doughnuts. They should be plain old-glazed ones, of course. Or glazed twists, if I just want to party it up. Must. Resist. Doughnut. Fascination.

3 Uuummmm, doughnuts. Yes, standard ones are OK. Even Dunkin Dounts is ok. No KK. The difference being that KK's are 99.3% sugar based glaze around some sort of yeast based stuff, while a real doughnut is a yeast and flour based confection with some sort of topping. Crap, now I'm hungry.

4 YUM! I'm no KK fan either. Mostly the same reason as Mr. Teach, but also because in their old-fashioned cake doughnuts they never use nutmeg. That is sacrilege. My mom goes for KK big time, especially when some little light goes on saying Warm Ones Ready To Eat! or something. I respect that. I just wish I liked the doughnut underneath the warmth better. DD's not bad. Tim Horton's good. But back in Chicago, we had the best doughnuts, everywhere. Great doughnuts. People would have been ashamed to get caught selling or eating most of the crap that passes for doughnuts these days. Cake donuts are valid too. I love both. Sometimes I bake loaf bread, sometimes I make biscuits. It's just yeast vs. quick breads; donuts ditto. Glazed yeast? #1. Or twist. Or glazed yeast cinnamon twists. Truly good jelly doughnuts. Plain cake, or chocolate covered or powdered. Miss Attila's blog always makes me hungry.
