As of today 4 more days until the re-opening of a Tuscaloosa institution. We have been without it since it was destroyed by the tornado on April 27th, 2011. Sure they trucked the product in from another city-4 hours one way from here. We could buy this product at grocery stores and convenience stores, in their boxes that had been sitting there for a couple of days, not quite the same as getting it freshly made. And these stores didn't always have your favorite.

Sometimes there would be a group selling it as a fund-raiser.

The city has missed the flashing HOT, NOW sign of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. On Tuesday August 21 that sign will once again light up. Once again they will be selling their freshly made doughnuts.

Welcome back Krispy Kreme. I haven't had a raspberry filled Krispy Kreme in a long time and I am looking forward to getting my favorite soon.

Once they are open I will truly be a happy camper. My favorite barbecue joint (which was across the street from Krispy Kreme and was also destroyed by the tornado) opened on July 30 in a new location-right next door to Krispy Kreme.

First test run 8/16/2012

You got that right.

I'm hoping the crave factor isn't to high the day they open. It will be packed to the gills. I'd rather wait a few days before I give in to the craving.

I held out for week before I went to the barbecue joint. AND I went back today, mainly because the first time they screwed up my order and I did not feel like getting back out in the heavy rain to take it back. I called, they took my name, and said "we'll make it right".

Well, you ladies can have my share. I must say that such does not tempt me at all. Now, if it were a Bavarian Bismark like this one:

Thank you Orange Blossom. That leaves more for the rest of us.

Up until about 5 or 6 years ago I really did not care much for doughnuts. I rarely had them.

Then I developed a liking for the things. I still don't have them very often but when I do get a craving I like to be able to indulge.

I don't know how it is in the rest of the country but here in the South when someone passes away and neighbors/family/friends take food to the family of the deceased there are 2 things that are most provided: fried chicken and boxes of Krispy Kreme doughnuts if there is a place to get the dougnuts nearby.

It does look blueberry filled.

I love both blueberries and raspberries, but I'm afraid in a confection such as that, there's too much sugar for me. My stomach, I'm afraid, is feeling a bit queasy just lookin' at the picture.

Stomach aside, it does look delightful, doesn't it?

Krispy Kreme officially opened for business at 6 am this morning.

People are so passionate about their Krispy Kremes that they started lining up last night with sleeping bags, coolers, portable dvd players, and whatever else they wanted to bring to help pass the time. When they finally opened the doors the place was packed. (the local newspaper put pics on its website and KK posted pics on Facebook)

The police department was directing traffic because there were so many cars waiting to get into the parking lot.

I'll wait a few days before I go.

Krispy Kreme tried distributing through a convenience store here in NJ where I am. They were OK but seemed pricy for something that was not fresh baked.

We have had long lines when Sonic opens a new location where the police are there handling traffic as it backs up down the shoulder of the highway. That lasts a few days.

I tried their burgers, OK but not fantastic.

They opened a Cheeburger Cheeburger that I pass on the way home. One day I'll try it out.

So far best Burger was the OMG b urger for a local Deli / Restaurant.
$10 4 1/4lbers, american cheese, swiss cheese, provolone, bacon, lettuce, tomato, onions, Special sauce on garlic Texas Toast And French fries on the side.

You can feed a small family with that one.

Have I made you hungry yet?

Cheers
Roger

I'm not hungry right now. I had lunch before I read your post.

However, you have managed to give me a craving for burger. Swiss cheese, onion, bread and butter pickles and mustard.

I do not care for fast food or restaurant burgers. I prefer to make my own-outside on the grill.

I will, usually only a couple of times a year, buy a burger. The only 2 places I will get them from are Mugshots or 5 Guys Burgers and Fries. I prefer Mugshots because I am not locked into getting fries with it since I do not like french fries. I can substitute onion rings.

Mugshots has a black bean burger that is fantastic-I get one of those sometimes instead of beef burger.

I hadn't thought of trying Bread and Butter Pickles on a Burger.

My grandmother used to pickle her own from cucumbers that they grew in the garden, Yum.

Now I get them when my Brother picks them up from a little Pennsylvania Dutch store and brings them for me.

I'm going to suggest trying them on a Burger to him. Maybe that will give him a craving to try that suggestion.
