The Dirty Dozen

While Jake shops at Erewhon Natural Foods Market, LA‘s Leader in Natural and Organic Foods, where part of their mission is : "It is our policy to not carry food products containing synthetic (artificial)sweeteners, refined(white) sugars, bleached flour products, artificial preservatives and additives, growth hormones and hydrogenated/trans fats.", you can see Austin dropping by Ralph's for snack run.

Everyone should strive to live healthy lives, but sometimes you just need to be bad.

That makes you wonder about that Texas boy who loves his burritos from trucks, and probably had a few Frito pies growing up in the Lone Star state, there must be days he just wants to go bad, real bad.

Bet he's got a stash of junk food somewhere stashed away or runs out on secret missions for In n Out or tracking down a late night taco truck.

It just so happens that this Austin Friday falls on National Doughnut Day here in the US. So Austin this one's for you.

As they say everything's bigger and Texas, and that is true when it comes to Round Rock Donuts. Located north of Austin, in Round Rock Tx, Round Rock has earned a reputation of some of the best donuts in the Lone Star since 1926 and people start to line up early to get their hands on the "famous yellow (or are they orange?) donuts". Round Rock has done one even better and created the ultimate Texas treat, the "Texas Sized Donut.

Their “Texas-Sized Donut” is about 15 inches in diameter and weighs two pounds.
Snacking on the super-sized doughnut is the equivalent of eating 13 regular-sized one.


Keeping with bigger is better and heading north up to The Midwest, LaMar's Doughnuts has created the Long John, 12 inches of cream filled goodness. (From personal experience, 6 inches is good, 8 inches better, 10 inches Oh my! and 12 never again...but already thinking about the next time.)

Now of course Voodoo Doughnut in Portland Oregon has their very own take on this sweet treat. (erroring on the side of caution here and saying NSFW)



And this is one Gay Bar wouldn't cause too much of commotion for them to enjoy. (Another Voodoo Doughnut creation)

Now who could they name Voodoo's Voodoo Doll doughnut after? (that list grows)

So go out and celebrate National Doughnut Day, and have one for Austin.

And like Voodoo Doughnut says, "The Magic's in the Hole"
