......2003 Krispy Kreme moved to town...yanks that had transferred down for jobs went crazy and there were car lines so bad at the 2 initial locations that there was a police presence nearly 14 hours a day for 8 months because of the traffic issues........


.....I suspect the next big thing to cause traffic hell would be the opening of an actual White Castle (from the north) or Krystals (from the southeast) location opening up here since to date they haven't made it into Austin......

That is an interesting thing as KrispyKreme is actually a southern thing...started and still headquartered in High Point NC, just down the road from me. But...the northern love for it IS pretty high.


I've toyed with the idea from time to time of opening a White Castle franchise around here. If only so that *I* can have them again. Been a long time and I have been jonesing for them for years. I can remember when White Castles were $0.04 each....that's right, 4 cents! The cheeseburgers were 7 cents. Back then, you could get a bag of ten plus a soda for a buck or less (20 for a little more if you were truly hungry).

Don't you wish you could grow Krispy Kreme doughnuts in your garden?

Whoa...That's what those donut holes are for!

I don't know if they still do the deep fried tater tots, but if so, they are HEAVEN!

Mmmmmmmm, tater tots. They are all closed in Deland. I guess the franchisee went broke.

Alas, no. Never got the taste for donuts, myself.

I'm just not a sweets kinda guy. (Except oatmeal/raisin and chocolate chip cookies......don't touch my cookies!!!)

you went for a ride?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????

I would eat a pack of nabs from the gas station before I would stand in line for an hour to eat fast food.

Other than Sonic's Salted Caramel Shake, I refuse to eat fast food other than Chic-Fil-A anyway. They are always clean, friendly, and the food is mostly consistent. And down here around Atlanta there's always someone out front protesting with funny signs. So there's that. Only problem is if I'm traveling on Sunday I'm screwed. Nabs it is.

Pray tell what are Nabs???


Sonic is know for their variety !!! Cheap and quick if on the run !!!
