They are one of civilization\u2019s more perfect inventions. First, they are round, reflecting and embracing the beauty of the circle. Second, they can be sweet, savory, or both. That flexibility is really uncommon (or shall we say, special) for most foods. And lastly, they are meant for the masses, literally. A \u201cdozen donuts\u201d is a routine order and is almost always shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Technically speaking, donuts are not a necessity. But they come close. After all, they are perfect for every occasion \u2014 whether you\u2018re sad or happy, before you start a diet and after you break it, and when you want to show your loved ones that you really really care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, why a tour?<\/strong> The Inaugural Tour<\/strong> Since this inaugural tour, this site has expanded geographically to include the San Francisco Bay Area as well as Japan. We anticipate it growing even more. After all, donuts are universal and only getting more interesting over time. Just check out La Donutserie<\/a>, located in the city of N\u00eemes in France and run by a French\/American couple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Anyone is welcome to participate in the tour by rating the places currently included on this website.

Searching for the ultimate donut doesn\u2019t mean we’re only looking for one donut. Ultimate means different things to different people at different times. Sometimes, we want the fancy $5 donut with insane flavors. Or a basic chocolate old-fashioned from a 24-hour truck stop. And other times, we just want something made by someone who doesn’t need to be called an artisan. It\u2019s good to have options. And the only way to know your options is to actually go have a taste. That’s why we tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Launched in Summer of 2020, this tour (i.e., the Tufts Edition) was designed (geographically) around Tufts University. Other donut options in the greater Boston area (i.e., the Expansion Pack) were also provided. A “tour kit<\/a>” was developed for this purpose. Check out the map<\/a> and listing of “official venues”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
