Welcome. I started blogging about donuts to coincide with the 2016 presidential inauguration. Initially, I explained my obsession with donuts like this: “they’re delicious, it's silly, and in a world so riddled with serious issues, donuts provide comic, tasty relief.” Over the last few years I have come to realize that a love of donuts is universal and can translate and enable dialogue across cultural, political, economic class, and gender lines. I haven’t met a cab or LYFT driver who was not willing to engage in a discussion about donuts—which gradually evolved into other topics. So, with that, I’d like your help. Please share your donut experiences with me (at wendonutopia@gmail.com) and while you’re munching on donuts, use that experience as an opportunity to listen to others' points of view. It works.

Donut Safari, Chicago - October, 2016

Stan's Donuts
Web Site: http://www.stansdonutschicago.com/
Address: 2800 N. Clark St., Chicago, IL (and other Chicago locations)

Stan’s has been around in Los Angeles since 1963 and only came to Chicago within the past several years.  We’re glad they did!  As written elsewhere, I am not a huge fan of chains but Stan’s is an exception.  Their locations are quite convenient (including one in the lobby of Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago).  They have a broad range of old-fashioned donuts along with other flavors.  Their donuts are consistently delicious.  A must visit in Chicago (or LA).

This tiny gem of a doughnut spot, in the Financial District, offers delicious doughnuts but you better get there early or you will be out of luck.  At noon on a Saturday afternoon, there were only about six doughnuts left so I cannot provide a complete review but based on feedback from others, this is an important stop on any Chicago Donut Safari.
