...finally went to Voodoo Doughnuts!

I have been hearing about this place for years and wanted to check it out. First we tried to go to the original location (SW Third near Burnside) and there was a line outside the door. We decided to check out the newer location on the East side and I'm glad we did. No one was there!

The Voodoo Eastside location is on 15th and Davis and I highly recommend it. It's in an old building that looks like it used to be fast food restaurant joint. It's painted 60's pink on the outside and furnished with a mish mash of goodwill seating in the inside with a few video games.

Most important, however was the doughnuts. YUMMMM. I would have like to sample several, but I tried the boston cream type with maple on top. Meagan had the Boston Creme and Roy had the cocopuff covered chocolate donut. They were all as good as I wanted them to be.

There were also some I would definitely not try, but I think were hilarious - like the maple bar topped with bacon.

I can see why this place has gotten so much buzz. The people are friendly, the donuts are good, the decor is campy and you can even get married there! The employees are ordained! Awesome.

I love this place and I'll go again. You should too. The downtown location is open 24/7 and the Eastside location is only closed from 3-6am. I'm never awake at that time any more anyway(:

No, doughnuts don't really fit into my functional foods quest, so I'll continue that tomorrow...
