it has become our very own "central perk" (like from friends!)
andy has asked me to explain ghetto donuts to him. instead, i will explain it to any and all who have not experienced the goodness of ghetto d.
ghetto donuts originated fall semester of my freshman year (during finals maybe?). it was a late night and mindy, poorna, ryan harrington and i were looking for something to eat. for some reason, i wanted a pastry-type item, and the best thing we could think of were donuts. so we pulled out a phonebook and "honeydip donuts" on new circle was the only listing to be found. little did we know that this night of donut glee would later change our lives.
after driving the wrong way on new circle (it does, in fact, make one big circle), we arrived at our destination: honeydip donuts/blimpie. (yes, blimpie, as in the sandwich place. to this day the unlikely combination of eateries still baffles us.) there it was in prime location: lucky's krazy kustom's to the left, the liquor store to the right, and everyone's favorite hooker joint- the catalina motel across the street! and inside the store, there were quite a few thugalicious homeboys, granting honeydip the new name "ghetto donuts".
ghetto d soon became the place to meet over the next couple of years. we have been on many a late-night excursion to see our friend bobby donuts, ghetto d's famous indian frontman. but the thing about ghetto donuts is, you don't go for the donuts, you go for the atmosphere. see the donuts....well, i'll just be honest, they suck. in fact, i only buy them to help support the economy.
we have been proud supporters since the days of the "lobby is closes" sign and will be there until the "fresh baked bread" light actually turns off. this year has proven especially exciting as we have welcomed the coming of bobby's girlfriend to the united states, and strengthened our ties with bobby himself. patrick, poorna and i have even ventured behind the donut counter!! (you have to work your way up to that.) last night we even invested in our own little piece of ghetto donuts history when we pitched in and bought a bucket. why is ghetto donuts selling buckets?, you ask. your guess is as good as ours. we have decided to use the bucket as a money collector to raise money to get the ghetto donuts' bathrooms fixed.
well, i'll be surprised if anyone has actually read the entire story of ghetto donuts, but there it is. send bobby a hello when you get a chance!
