Voodoo Donuts in Chicago: A Sweet Mystery Solved
Is Chicago Ready for Voodoo Magic?
So, you’re craving a donut that’s less "hole-y" and more "holy cow, that’s amazing"? You’ve heard whispers of Voodoo Donuts, the Portland-based bakery known for its over-the-top creations and eerie ambiance. But does this sugary sanctuary exist in the Windy City? Let's dive into the donut depths!
Voodoo Donuts: A Brief History Lesson (Or at Least a Donut-Related One)
Before we get to the Chicago question, let’s appreciate the Voodoo Donuts phenomenon. This isn’t your grandma’s donut shop. We're talking about creations like the "Voodoo Doll" (filled with raspberry jelly and topped with chocolate frosting and a pretzel stick) and the "Marduk" (a giant donut filled with cream and chocolate, topped with chocolate frosting and crushed potato chips). It's like a carnival of carbs, minus the terrifying clowns.
Chicago: A Donut Desert or a Sweet Oasis?
