Food / Artsy Get A Load Of This Motherfucking Donut
Posted by Andrew R Tonry on Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 3:52 PM
How the good folks at Voodoo Donuts get through a slow night:
1
I'd like to see the voodoo people make a donut of a robot getting humped by a dinosaur. On a rainbow. In space. But not Star Trek space - more like Firefly space.
So...get to it, guys.

I'd like to see the Voodoo people make a donut that isn't boring and drizzled with failed-irony.
Did you know that Fred Meyer's now makes donuts with cereal toppings on them? Voodoo has now become a parody of itself. Time for them to step up their game, drop the stupidity and become an artisan maker of fried dough.

They should spend more time learning how to make donuts that are better than what I can get at any Safeway. Then maybe they could justify the crazy prices they charge.

Graham, you're right. Voodoo is immensely overrated--they need to create shit like this to make up for the fact that their donuts suck.
But then, it's not like Voodoo is really known simply for the donuts anyway.

Graham please explain...A large corporation copies a local business, thus making the local business a parody of itself....
Really don't get your logic or your point. But I guess on the internet you don't need to make sense you just need to sound snarky and annoyed with anything and it makes you right.

Voodoo might be overpriced, but you cannot say they are on the same level as Safeway or Fred Meyer. Maple bacon bar! COME ON! Like heaven.
It should also be mentioned that higher price tag is totally worth it for the experience. Creative flavors, surly staff, local character, a donut shaped like a dick. I could go on and on.
If you want a donut, go to Fred Meyer. If you want an experience, go to Voodoo. All together now: "LIGHTEN UP! It's just a DONUT!"

@donuts are awesome.
You are the cancer that is killing PDX. You say that it's worth EXTRA money to have shitty service and medicore donuts because they have "character". Fuck that noise. I've worked as a donut maker before; I know what it takes to make a good donut. The donuts at Voodoo are made with boredom and irony. That is just a waste of time and space.
If you want to eat some motherfucking donuts that aren't sprinkled with meh-pic FAIL; please refer to this article for hints: http://www.portlandmercury.com/portland/or…

Graham-
Your passion for donuts is admirable. Continue to fight the good fight against the tyranny that is Voodoo Donuts.
Please read the last line of my original post.

To describe Voodoo donuts as tryanny is dis-service to all the wonderful tyrants through out history (I'm looking at you Yakubu Gowon). All that Voodoo has done is have late night hours and put stupid things on donuts.
The maple bacon bar IS NOT GOOD! Bacon should not be allowed to cool to room temperature. FUCK! Donuts shouldn't be allowed to cool to room temperature. 50% of the flavor of a donut originates in the hot actuated oils from the fryer and the frosting. When they get tepid they get boring.
Go eat some fresh hot donuts from any place that's making them in continuous small batches (I'm looking at you Tonalli's). Let us ignore the substandard donuts being produced by those shills at the V.D.
