Last weekend my wife and I went down to Seattle for her birthday and she really wanted to stop off at Krispy Kreme Doughnuts in Burlington because she'd heard so many good things about them. That and the fact that soon they'll be opening one in Delta (fucking Delta). I was somewhat indifferent, not having been indoctrinated in the Krispy Kreme mysteries. But we stopped in there and had doughnuts and I had one of their frozen blends - the Original Kreme with coffee. Holy shit was it good. The doughnut was good too. Awesome actually. The chocolate tasted like real chocolate, it was fresh, it was just plain good. We stopped in on the way back too, to pick up some doughnuts for the kids (and maybe a couple for ourselves - needless to say, South Beach was on hold). We noticed the lot was filled mostly with cars and minivans with Canadian plates. Waiting in line a girl handed out free glazed doughnuts, still warm because they were actually being made as we entered the place.
So where am I going with this? Well, soon Tim Hortons will be going with frozen donuts shipped in from back east, for starters. Their Iced Cappuccinos are good but not as good as KK's. Ever get a free sample there? I haven't. So I was just thinking, if Krispy Kreme establishes a strong foothold in Canada, Timmy's is fucked. And don't give me any of that shit about Tim Hortons being a fine Canadian establishment. They were bought out by Wendy's a long time ago. So once I'm off this accursed South Beach diet, the new KK should be open and I'll be running my skinny ass on down there.
Since Tim's went to the frozen crappy doughnuts here in Toronto, Krispy Kreme has taken off with their sales. Instead of one of those great fresh made apple fritters, all you can get now from Tim Horton is a shrivelled greasy tasting piece of undercooked dough that looks more like a scrotum than food. Dang. At least their coffee is still The Shit.
Go Krispy Kreme!
