Sublime Doughnuts
I’m the only person I know who has been to Erie, PA. Mark, a longtime and dear friend, is from Erie. We took a weekend trip there a couple of years ago to visit his family. While Erie isn’t really a food destination town, they do have many mom-and-pop doughnut shops (perhaps an influence from nearby donut-crazed Canada) that make doughnuts from scratch daily. One place, I can’t remember which one anymore, had the softest, airiest doughnuts that are glazed lightly and filled with delicious creamy fillings. Divine. We still talk about those doughnuts to this day and I’ve been craving those forever. Well, guess what, we have something better in Sublime.
These yeast-raised doughnuts are made by hand everyday by Chef Kamal Grant. The doughnuts are soft, moist, airy, fluffy, and buttery. Buttery. They melt in your mouth. There is no resistance when you bite down. They taste like pastry. Repeat, they taste like pastry. They’re simply sublime. My favorites? All of them. Especially the sugar-frosted croissant, the Reese’s cup, the deep-dark fudge, the dulce de leche, and the chocolate twists.
To say these are the best doughnuts in the state is an understatement. Hmmm, oooh, aaaah. Sounds of ecstasy. Which is what you’ll make as you eat them.
Insider tip:
Go early. They sell out fast. (Or do like me and have an Eric get a dozen for you before Atlanta wakes up. ~Thanks buddy!)
