Donughts With MoJo

My friend Kevin and I made a trip to Portland last month and had a great time. Portland was Kevin's old stomping grounds so we had a place to crash and some exciting things lined up.

We were heading down to go to a Mid-Singles dance organized by Erika that was great. We had tons of fun dancing and met some very groovy folks. One of our friends from Seattle, Kellie, also came down and boogied the night away with us. After the dance was over we were all chatting Kellie mentions this donught shop that is open from 9pm to 6am. When she mentioned this my Junk Food senses were tingling. Then someone else mentioned that they had a maple bar with bacon on it and my Junk Food senses went crazy!

Kevin knew how to get there so we were on our way. It was a cold night but the thought of deep fried dough covered in flavored sugar kept my blood warm. When we did finally find the place around 1:30am there was a line so I was encouraged. My mind was trying to decide if it was disgusted at the thought of bacon on a maple bar or excited. Unfortunately I never got the chance to resolve my internal conflict over the maple bacon bar because they had all sold out. The well pierced lady helping behind the counter offered me a VooDoo doughnut as a replacement. It was a donught shaped like a gingerbread man covered in chocolate with a pretzel stuck in it's chest and filled with rasberry filling. The donught turned out to have enough MoJo in it to assuage my angst over the loss of a maple bacon bar and I was very impressed. If anyone is in Portland late at night and has a craving for a strange doughnut from a mildly raunchy but very funny donught shop I highly recommend VooDoo Doughnuts in Portland. Thanks Erika, Kevin and Kellie for a great time!
