The anti-bagel thread.
For me the best yeast donut comes from
Long's Bakery in Indianapolis. I don't live in Indy but if I did, I'd weigh 300 pounds. I would have a hard time avoiding this place. Not only are the yeast donuts great but so are their cinammon fries. Their donuts melt in your mouth differently than Krispy Kreme. For one thing, they are larger than Krispy Kremes and a bit more substantial. I wish I had one (actually four) now.
Two years ago when my father had heart surgery at Methodist, my brother and I stayed with a friend in Speedway. We stopped by Long's each morning on the way to the hospital and would pick up several dozen donuts to bring to the CICU staff. Not saying Dad got better care because of that, but we didn't have any complaints.
Post your favorites. And salivate.
