Not All Donut Shops Are The Same

I had just been to Voo Doo Donuts; overhyped the guide book warned, but nonetheless, a spot to hit in Portland. The donut was still only half eaten in my purse.

My  airplane seatmate had also been to Voodoo Donuts, but not the one I had, not the original, which, he told me, was 'a little bit grotty" a place to have one's wedding, which is what he had done in Voodoo Donuts. The less grotty Voodoo Donuts, that is.

His family had flown in and made the trek to Voodoo Donuts for the wedding, but the bride's sister had refused saying that it was, in her opinion, spiritually unsafe.

I wondered if her objections would have been less at a Tim Horton's or a Krispy Kreme. Not all donut shops are created equal, I realized. Not all are ideal for a wedding.
