I was a professional donut baker for a few years and baked in a number of bakeries. I can say with some authority that virtually all of the pre-packaged donuts found in groceries are crap. Some groceries that have their own bake shops can produce decent donuts, but the very best, IMHO, come from Mr. Donut shops. For me, the very best donut is a plain, cake donut fresh from the frier - any older than that and I don't want it.
