Now, That's a Doughnut!!-- Part 1

And, we're talking about those mouth watering concoctions served up at Britt's Donut Shop at Carolina Beach, North Carolina. The July 2009 Our State magazine for North Carolina did me no favors by running a five page spread on one of my favorite places anywhere to eat. "Sugar Rush" by Kathy Grant Westbrook.

Even worse, they had pictures with two full page donuts and the owners holding some in that plastic paper.

Current owners Bobby and Maxine Nivens have been using the exact same recipe for the glazed doughnuts that has been around since the 1930s. The only food the place sells besides drinks (coffee, milk, and pop) is that glorious sugar-glazed item.

"A Britt's doughnut is always fresh and warm, and no matter how gingerly you hold it, it is impossible not to compress it between your fingers and your thumb." Plus, it is so light, you'll want another and another... and then another.

I'll Have a Britt's. --Cooter
