Voodoo Donuts is a Portland icon.
It's open 24 hours a day... 7 days a week.
You can legally get married at the shop.
They only accept cash.
Today my brother, Trace and I went.
"Just look for the pink," said Andre.
He was right.
The store looks like someone put a rundown Dairy Queen,
an appliance store, and a Pepto Bismol Jar into a blender together.
And, out came doughnuts.
At 2 p.m. on a Friday afternoon the joint was hopping.
A Bacon Maple Bar went into a box along with a Powdered Sugar Vegan Doughnut, an apple fritter, and a Dirty Snowball (chocolate cake doughnuts with marshmallow topping, dipped in coconut and with a dollop of peanut butter in the middle).
"Delicious coolness," said my 7 year-old son.
I couldn't say anything... my mouth was full.
