Where can I find the best donut in Podunk
Ok, so I am on a mission, for my bris, God willing, I want to have a bonafide cutesy donut.....no, I don't want to make one myself. I want to buy a real good and hopefully over-decorated donut for my big day.
Which bakery in Podunk has the best donuts?

I found this:
Allow me to quote from a letter to the editors of the Daily National Pilot, Buffalo, New York, 1846: "I hear you ask, `Where in the world is Podunk?' It is in the world, sir; and more than that, is a little world of itself. It stands `high up the big Pigeon [river],' a bright and shining light amid the surrounding darkness." There is a great deal more, all in a satirical vein, indicating that even then Podunk was thought to be a locality which, being imaginary, one might safely have a little fun with.
The idea that Podunk was purely mythical survived a long time. In 1925 philologist G.P. Krapp noted that no Podunk was to be found in the list of American post offices, which he took to be proof of the town's nonexistence--an alarming conclusion, given current opinions of the post office, but Krapp's was an innocent age. His one concession to the reality of Podunk was that it was an Indian word that had been applied to a few minor geographic features in New England.
In 1933 a Boston Herald columnist was simply restating the common wisdom when he observed that "Podunk, like Atlantis, has no locus." But even as Troy had its Schliemann, so did Podunk have its believers. One E.A. Plimpton promptly wrote to the Herald that there was a settlement called Podunk; that it might be found near Worcester, Massachusetts; and that he himself had a summer home there.

I know I should know this, but what is a bris?
We drive by Podunk all the time, it is off the Interstate and usually a lovely Cracker Barrell Restaurant is right there. I love the Chicken n/ Dumplings!!
Isn't there a Podunk in your state??
I can't help with the donut question.

You don't want donuts. Trust me on this.
Donuts are over rated and have become too expensive. The masses have found out about donuts and have made them last weeks news.
Instead you want.....rice crispy treats!
Rice Crispy treats are now all the rage. You want to be on the cutting edge and away from all those pesky tourists.
Zagat's recently gave The House of Rice Crispy Treats in Podunk straight 30s for; taste, decor, service, and price.
Don't be a big looser chasing down donuts. Be on the cutting edge and eat Rice Crispy Treats!
