Bacon.Maple.Bar.


This was my first experience going to the infamous Voodoo Doughnut in Portland, OR. I didn't expect it to be so crazy, but the line was out the door and we waited about 20 minutes. Firstly, I don't eat donuts. Secondly, anyone who knows me would had thought that I was out of my mind because Kim Liu wouldn't wait 20 minutes for a donut. For cheese maybe, but not for a donut. Sorry for the disappointment. So its located on 3rd and Burnside, right next to Saturday market and down the street from Waterfront.

A sampling of their donut oddities

They had a donut menu too!

And here at last! This is what I came for. The Bacon Maple Donut. Bizzare combo? Not at all. Think pancakes with maple syrup and sausage. To my amazement, the donut was really good! The maple bar was super fluffy and the bacon was just crispy enough, creating a good balance of the sweet and savory. This quirky place is a definite spot to visit if you're ever in town.
