\t\t\t\t\"Doughnuts
\n\t\t\t\t\"Doughnuts<\/p>\n

Having lived for a decade in High Point, North Carolina, a short drive from the corporate headquarters of one of the state\u2019s most internationally recognized companies, I became an admirer of an all-American creation that\u2019s loved by people around the world: the doughnut.<\/p>\n

But not just any doughnut.<\/p>\n

In North Carolina it’s all about Krispy Kreme<\/a> and its iconic \u201cOriginal Glazed\u201d doughnut. Whether you\u2019re in Winston-Salem (the company\u2019s 1937 birthplace), Seattle, or Seoul, it doesn\u2019t matter. Warm Krispy Kreme doughnuts – the kind I remember smelling and eating at High Point\u2019s Main Street store – are possibly the most amazing culinary delights known to man. Add a cup coffee and you\u2019re in heaven.<\/p>\n

In 2004, Krispy Kreme opened its first Asian store in, yep, you guessed it, South Korea. Today there are over 100 stores throughout the country. Koreans love their glazed KK doughnuts.<\/p>\n

They also love a strange doughnut variation that’s unique to their country: the Pokemon. Not sure what to say about it, so a picture and your imagination will have to suffice.<\/p>\n

The \u201cHot Now\u201d button just lit up.<\/p>\n

Time for a doughnut . . .<\/p>\n

Enjoy!\"\"<\/p>\n
