Voodoo Doughnut: "The magic is in the Hole"
Voodoo Doughnut is an independent doughnut shop in Portland, Oregon USA. It is located at 22 SW 3rd Avenue, "just south of the Burnside Bridge" and a block from Dan and Louis Oyster Bar. It is known for its unusual doughnuts and decor. In addition to doughnuts, Voodoo Doughnuts offers legal wedding services, complete with doughnuts and coffee for the reception.
Doughnuts
Their signature Voodoo Doughnut is gingerbread man-shaped, with a pretzel stick stabbed through its abdomen and red jelly "blood" filling. The "Tex-Ass Challenge" is another popular Voodoo attraction: if you can eat an entire "Tex-Ass" doughnut--a glazed doughnut the size of four full-size doughnuts--in 80 seconds or less, the doughnut is free. Vegan doughnuts are also featured, along with a rotating and frequently changing menu of specialty doughnuts and unusual variations on traditional varieties. Examples include:
Arnold Palmer Cake doughnut covered with lemon and tea powder
Bacon maple bar A traditional maple bar topped with strips of fried bacon
Cock-n-Balls A phallus-shaped triple cream-filled doughnut, with a custom saying written on it in icing
Dirt Raised doughnut covered with vanilla glaze and Oreo cookies
Grape Ape Raised doughnut with vanilla frosting and grape powder
The Memphis Mafia Large glazed doughnut with chocolate chips, banana, and peanut butter
Old Dirty Bastard Raised doughnut covered with vanilla glaze and crushed Oreo cookies, and drizzled with peanut butter
Two of their doughnuts, the NyQuil Glazed doughnut and the Vanilla Pepto Crushed Tums doughnut, are no longer available by order of local health officials. According to one of the co-owners, "the Nyquil one was kind of a lark, but that’s the one that got the most famous. With the Pepto doughnut, I honestly thought if you had that shot of tequila you shouldn’t have at 2:00 a.m., and then you got sugar, bread, Pepto, and Tums, you’d either feel better or puke your ass off and then feel better because you got it out of your system. So it was a win-win either way."
