When the hubs and I moved to PNW (Pacific Northwest) we were strangers in a foreign town. I had never been North of Sacramento and the hubs had only visited the Oregon coast once or twice, as a kid. During the 7 months we have lived here we have explored much of Portland and absolutely LOVE downtown. Of our many fabulous finds, we too have become a lover of one of Portland's well know hot spots, VooDoo Doughnut.
The hubs favorite is the Triple Chocolate Penetration....
Translation: Chocolate cake doughnut with chocolate frosting and Cocoa Puffs!!
VooDoo has other amazing treats but nothing compares to their famous creation, a maple bacon doughnut. Yes, you read bacon and doughnut in the same sentence. This treat is very popular and loved by many...I still have yet to try it. I don't know but it just doesn't seem appetizing to me.
They have even partnered with Rogue, a local brewery, and created a maple bacon ale...it even comes in a pink bottle! How cute is that!
That's me on the far right, my sister Saleena on the left, and smack dab in the center is my friend Lydia, a former fellow Portlander. Can you believe she had never been to VooDoo before. I had the privilege of sharing with Lydia her very first VooDoo experience. She left a VooDoo lover! Blame her?...Genelle
Yes, I was hungry. Now I'm starving!!! Wish there was a VooDoo here, but then again... keeping things like that unfranchised (is that a word?) makes visiting them that much more special.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree Angie! It's nice to look forward to places like this when vacationing!
