Winston-Salem is the home of the Krispy Kreme doughnut. Founded in 1937, this company's signature product is a ring of dough that is yeast raised, baked, deep fried, drizzled with glaze, flipped and drizzled again. To eat one of these hot off the rollers and sip a cup of their wonderful coffee is a pleasure beyond description.
The store pictured here is located on a main road just a few miles from our house. The doughnuts are made on the premises. I drive by there frequently but rarely stop in. These delicious sugary delights are over 200 calories each and it's impossible to eat only one.
When we have out of town visitors we like to take them to Krispy Kreme. Its fun to watch the doughnuts roll off the machine and see the glaze pour over the long rows of fresh hot doughnuts. Another good reason to visit the relatives in Winston-Salem!

No doubt they are good. But I still favor a Southern Maid donut from the original location on Hearne Ave. by I-20. Nothing better when they are fresh.
I had forgotten all about Southern Maid donuts but when I looked at their website it all came back. Interesting history - especially the Elvis part! John, what a great trivia question that would be.
If I'm not mistaken, Miss Sarah Kate could tell you all about Southern Maid. She did a history project on the company and went to state competition with it in Baton Rouge! OK, what's the Elvis connection?
Just went to that website and got my answer.
