FINALLY….spudnuts

Saturday October 21, 2011
On the road again in
67 days 18 hours 7 minutes and 2 seconds

If you’ve been following along on the quest for
Spudnuts you will know that it has been
completely unsuccessful despite all my
efforts to find the locations around the country listed
on the spudnuts website.
Phone numbers that no longer are in service,
shops that have moved or
addresses that don’t exist.
It’s been frustrating.

But no more.
I know the location of this one
and I set out early
for my potato donut fix.

I promised I would not put a picture
of the lovely proprietress on the internet
so sadly you will not get to see her
smiling face. She told me to take
her son’s picture instead. He was moving
trays of donuts from the kitchen to
the sales room but adopted his
mom’s fear of fame as you’ll see.

I’ll just let spudnuts speak for itself.
But notice that it is only 7:30 am and
the shelves are already emptying.. The baker
is working as fast as he can but
they are flying out the door dozens
at a time.

In your travels, when you come to
see the Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge
Parkway and Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello
and the serpentine walls at the University of
Virginia which he designed

– and you know you will at some point-

don’t miss these great SPUD DONUTS.

But get there early!! J

I took away a dozen coconut!
Mmmmmmm
fresh hot coconut donuts.
I’ve waited a LONG time for these.

What’s the unique place in your current or former home town
that you would tell folks not to miss?
