The delectable Cap'n Crunch with Crunchberries Donut
How unique is Portland? I picked up a Cap’n Crunch with Crunchberries donut at this place called Voo Doo Donut. I kid you not. This thing, with cereal protruding like itty bitty mountains, looked like something otherworldly and guess what? It tastes the same way. It was unique, more than delish and its pleasures didn’t last long enough – just like this short jaunt to Portland, Ore. There are very few cities that I’ve been to where I’d consider moving. None of you out there should jump for joy at the prospect that I will be vacating Northeast Ohio anytime soon. I also have a love of Chicago and the metropolitan Washington D.C. area.
But Portland is different. In an era where we have cookie cutter suburbs where chains have chased out mom-and-pop businesses for the most part. There’s nothing wrong with big box stores – I confess to being a Best Buy addict myself, but when every city in states 3,000 miles away look the same, thanks but no thanks.
Portland is different. It’s unique, vibrant and it shows in its downtown area where there are a host of shops not seen in Northeast Ohio.

yep, voodoo was the place to hit for donuts. i like portland but it’s a little too granola for my tastes. cleveland is not a good breeding ground for hippie types.
oh yeah, at the pdx airport i saw a used copy of “the satanic bible” in the bookstore
only in portland.
I picked up my copy at Barnes & Noble.
I checked out the menu at that donut place. Do they serve food there or is this a brick and mortar porn house for loose hippie chicks? They actually have donuts called the “Triple Chocolate Penetration” and the (this is a family website) Shockingly, these are two flavors that I have failed to find at my local Jolly Pirate. According to their menu, the (family website) is a “Bachelorette party favorite.” Well, gee, no kidding. What woman in their right mind wouldn’t want to pass out after a night of guzzling a bottle of vodka and getting stuffed with a baker’s dozen of (family website)?
Alan, I so have to edit that comment.
I don’t get it, that’s actually the name. It’s not dirty. Look it up on their menu. For all I know, you ate one (or 13), and it doesn’t make you gay. It’s just a name. Of a donut. What would you prefer they call the heavenly combination of a male chicken and those things LeBron dribbles?
i’m not so sure about the family website claim either. for proof, read the axl rose blog rant on the abj music blog. well, don’t actually read it because it’s boring as hell but after a quick skim you’ll get my point.
They used to drop the price of the Maple Blazer Blunt to 55 cents whenever a Blazer got busted with pot. Where are you Isiah Rider?
