When my family first moved to Roanoke Virginia in the eighties, we lived in a hotel located within the Kmart plaza while our house was being built. My middle sister Lena likes to refer to these months as our refugee period. We’d been living down south for a few years, so our old NY tradition of getting bagels after church had ended because they just didn’t exist back then. We’d moved states twice before, so we were an adaptable bunch and Dunkin’ Donuts was just across the street from our hotel. So after church, we’d walk across the road to get a box of donuts. Thank God, for the dozen because I’ve always had trouble deciding between the Boston Cream and the Apple Cinnamon filled. To this day, donuts are my drug of choice. I can not say no to a donut.
Especially if it’s a Donut Plant Donut. I am not a fan of Emeril Lagasse, but I watched his show a couple of years ago because he went behind the scenes at the Donut Plant (379 Grand Street between Essex & Norfolk Streets). This place has been written up everywhere and for good reason. The donuts are AMAZING.
If you like coconut, and you haven’t had the Donut Plant coconut crème filled donut, than you have not lived fully. This donut should be illegal because it’s so damn good. I don’t care that it costs $2.50. I don't care that it's fattening. The ingredients are organic and the company is local. It’s worth it. Using mere words to describe this heavenly creation is a joke, but I’ll try. The owner designed the square shape so that the filling is in every single bite and not just poked into the middle like your average filled donut. Genius! The dough is light and yeasty (I’ve not tried their new cake donuts, but they look great) and the perfect icing is flecked with fresh coconut flakes. And the filling. Oh, that filling. It’s the type of stuff you just want to dive into, spread all over your face, wallpaper your walls with, make a house out of. Take my word for it. If it's the last thing you do, you must eat this donut. Available at the flagship Dean and Deluca store on Prince and Broadway and the to go kiosk on Prince.

When our Boston Cream donut was compared side by side to a Krispy Kreme Boston Cream donut on the CBS Morning Show by their nutritionist, not only did they say it tasted great but It actually showed our donut only had 3.8 grams of fat compared to the other donuts 20 grams of fat and our donut was actually larger!

I couldn't agree more. These are the best donuts ever. Period. Every time I am in NYC, I make sure I stop by Dean & Deluca on Broadway to get one. (I hope they start selling them in San Francisco soon where I live).
