Whether you spell it "doughnut" or "donut," the important takeaway from this post is that today is National Donut Day! Sure, any day of the year has the potential to become a donut day, but on this day, and this day alone, you could eat donuts for breakfast, lunch and dinner and it would be socially acceptable.
Believe it or not, National Donut Day actually began at The Salvation Army during World War I when female volunteers (which came to be referred to as 'donut lassies') baked donuts to both send overseas to lift soldiers' spirits, and to create a greater awareness and support for troops throughout the Chicago area. This went on to create a nationwide trend that was resurrected during World War II.
If you plan to indulge in these sweet, doughy pastries today, here are a couple of suggestions on where to go:
Baker's Dozen Donuts
