Voodoo Doughnut

My friend Jessie and I took a trip to Portland, Oregon last summer and her co-worker suggested we stop by a place called 'Voodoo Doughnut.' The name was intriguing enough that we checked it out. Since then, I've seen this place featured on the TV show 'Man v Food.'

Here are some pics of the us in front of the downtown location.

Here is Jessie holding the famous 'voodoo doughnut.' It's a doughnut in the shape of a doll, raspberry filled to represent doll blood with a pretzel sticking out of it. (Don't mind Jessie.)

We bought a few doughnuts, but I think my favorite was the 'triple chocolate penetration' which is a chocolate doughnut with a chocolate glaze and cocoa-puffs! (Can you tell I like chocolate?)

There was one doughnut in the case that was just too weird to try. It was a maple bar with 2 pieces of bacon on it. The menu page describes their other delectable delights. http://voodoodoughnut.com/menu.php

This place not only makes doughnuts, but officiates weddings. Yes, you read that correctly, officiates weddings. They offer different wedding packages which include coffee and different types of doughnuts to accompany that special day. As tempting as this may be, I will pass on this one.

"What doesn't this place offer" you may ask? Well, they do not ship doughnuts. They'll deliver within a limited area, but if you are living in CA and want to try one of these bad boys, you'll have to take a trip to Portland. "Remember, we do not ship doughnuts. It's an insult to the doughnut and a rip off to you. We wont do it."
