I couldn't find the article, it's buried in too many ads. What a shame.

All you missed is them ripping people off. $14 for a doughnut?

1 pound of hot glazed donut holes from Ungers.
$13.
Too many with my Vanilla Latte from Grand Coffee.

Also bought 2 pounds of fresh custard for $7 for DW to make her own

Some people are Machmir to not eat donuts the whole Chanukah, to confuse the Satan.

I think you are confused. To confuse the Satan we eat doughnuts first sitting down and again standing up. Also, since there are different opinions if the doughnut refers to jelly, custard, or sprinkle, the minhag evolved in most kehillos to eat all three...

You can be yotzei by looking at donuts too.

There’s a shailah if seeing them through glasses or contacts is a problem of ראיה דרך זכוכית. In that case one should be machmir to actually eat them....

As the story goes...Pinky Weber enters the bakery asking for a custard doughnut, "give me a custard doughnut with a nice chunk of custard in it, not like the other ripoffs" . "Here you have one" replies the seller "go ahead and enjoy it". Pinky gives one bite, and a second bite and no custard is showing up. "same like the others!! Where's my custard?" "You gotta give another bite sir" says the seller. After the additional 2 bites with a tiny piece of doughnut left in his hand he shouts again "So where's my custard you ripoff" "OH, NOW YOU BIT TOO MUCH- YOU MUST HAVE MISSED IT"

Lol, tell him to try Bagel Nosh doughnuts

Bagel King glazed donut. $1.50 . Sometimes less is more. And donuts are one of those times.

Is this what happens when you move OOT?

I went to the bakery this morning to buy donuts. They were sold out of donuts, but had an abundance of Hamentashen available

Caramel- sesame, kaffs (cheesy whipped caramel combo) yossis (donut is very oily, but caramel is amazing--heavy!!) all milchig
Lotus- Sesame (the donut with the hole, the one with lotus cream, too much!) Pareve
Jelly- Weiss bakery (perfection!) pareve
custard--Fallsburg Pareve
hazelnut/Nutella--Weiss (heavy) and Sesame Pareve
White chocolate/cheese- Bagels n greens milchig
