My dad grew up in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago. He loved donuts. He grew up calling jelly-filled donuts "bismarcks." We moved to Rochester when I was 8. There was a very good local donut and ice cream shop by the name of Buckman's. The first time we went there, he asked for bismarcks and they had no idea what he was talking about.

I don't care for Krispy Kremes at all - to me, it's like eating air. Make mine cake donuts - the heavier the better. I call them hockey puck donuts.

I must admit to liking Dunkin' Donuts chocolate donut holes.
