    I don't like that Krispy still puts a full glaze on their flavor frosted donuts, chocolate frosted with full glazing is too much when you're actually going for a different taste. Shipley's may not be the best, but they're just good enough that their ubiquity makes them appealing; especially if you ever move to a town that has one, two or literally no donuts.

    Nothing tastes as good as not having a heart attack feels.

    Y'all do realize that donuts aren't baked, right?

    Baked, fried, whatever. Kolaches aren't just for breakfast, either.

    I can say with a great deal of confidence that next to the breakfast brownie, the kolache is indeed the #1 selling baked good on Shakedown Street in the morning. And yeah, they call it a klobasniki at Magnaball.

    They don't call it the signature food of Houston for nothing.

    A KK glazed has 190 calories. If you can't fit that into your caloric limits as an occasional treat examine your other choices.

    New location 610 @ Main St should be opening this month. Already a conjested intersection. The parking lot's space is limited. Whataburger (same parking lot) already stays packed. They needed to build freeway ramps from 90 NB to 610 E and 610 W to 90 S before Krispy Kreme. It's gonna be even worse now.

    I never wait in line for food.

    15 minutes max if there's a wait at a sit down restaurant

    Not at all. It's best you clean bulk

    If you eat one Krispy Kreme donut per day and nothing else, you will become very lean.

    Well for some reason you thought I was ducking a question already answered. Not sure why I need to justify my tastes anymore and it was an innocuous point.

    You keep bringing up how special Texas food is, which is exactly what I was talking about. My original post was not an indictment of Texas food although you obviously took it that way. I don't think Texas food is exceptionally great, nor exceptionally bad because I don't think of restaurants or brands in those terms to start with.

    I don't care what state it's from, and just because it's from Texas does not make it tastier to me. If it does for you for some reason, who am I to deny someone else's enjoyment? But I simply will not pay attention to said opinions anymore.

    No, nobody does that.

    For nothing. Not even for something?

    I noticed on the company website that Shipley is only located in the South. I think there is a good arbitrage opportunity for entrepreneurs wanting to take Shipley worldwide. Or at least past the Mason Dixon line.
