The new installment of “This Month in North Carolina” is ready for consumption!
Krispy Kreme Original Glazed … nearly recession proof, feared by nutritionists, and beloved confection of North Carolina. Read all about the genesis of this Southern doughnut mogul here.
GREAT “This Month!” Dunkin’ ain’t got nothin’ on the Ring King Jr.!
My favorite over-the-top characterization following Krispy Kreme’s 1996 debut in New York appeared in GQ magazine: “The Appalachian love child of the souffle and the croissant.”
btw. the “Donut Queen” button isn’t a company-authorized item — it came off a gift shop rack.
I believe the NCC gallery also has one of the Krispy Kreme paper hats that came straight from the Raleigh store . . .
Wellllll . . . If I had read the essay first, I would have seen that hat! Sorry about that.
Thank you so much for writing this “This Month,” Bridget. A fascinating story about a delicious little food!
