Did you watch last night’s finale of the Amazing Race? Oddly enough, it ended in our fair city and included a mad dash along the food carts in Alder street and an even madder dash to VooDoo Doughnuts. This actually reminds me of times I’ve been frantic to get to VooDoo… Oh, and someone should have told these folks we don’t hail cabs in Portland. We have the bartender call dispatch and wait for them to haul our carcasses out of the stripclub at 2 AM. My god, don’t they ever do their research?
I MUST have a Memphis Mafia! Now!
As much as I love Voodoo’s attitude (and some of the stranger flavor combos, i.e. the VooDew, i.e. my favorite food of 2008), I hope you (as the Merc food critic) realize that portland has a number of donut shops that actually make far better donuts. I mean, FAR better. The schtick is fun; but as soon as you get to the dough, voodoo is incredibly middle-of-the-pack.
