VooDoo donuts in Portland gets so much publicity and is so well know it almost veers from a must visit to a must miss. But, I could't resist. The line stretching nearly around the block clearly said I am not alone.
VooDoo's most renown specialty is the maple bacon bar, a yeast raised glazed donut topped with super sweet maple frosting and strips of crisp cooked bacon. Other flavors top yeasty donuts with a mango tang glaze, rice crispies chocolate and peanut butter or Cap't Crunch cereal.
In the end VooDoo is fun. It's brightly colored location and irreverent flavor combinations are certainly appealing. Did I swoon like Guy Fieri when I bit into that maple bacon bar? No. Tasty and probably the pit-stop of choice for many drunken mid-night rambles through quirky downtown Portland? Sure. But, it's just a pretty good (just fine), eccentric, yeast donut. Just a donut.
