I'm into the craft doughnut thing. I think District Donuts is the best in the state as far as craft. Although I did have Mr. Ronnie's in Houma once at 10 PM. That shite hit the spot.

I'm a big supporter of Tiger Deaux-nuts. Great local place and owner. Pricing is pretty standard for craft specialty donuts. I agree, I would like the special ones to possibly have a filling. But I don't believe I've ever had a specialty donut served to me hot. This includes all the ones I've had from out of states; which if you look at my instagram, I've sampled a good bit. Now his regular lineup could be kept warm instead of sitting out on the bakers rack.
For being in a new location and still working things out, I think Tiger Deaux-nuts has alot of potential. I'll keep eating his stuff.

I have had some of his donuts hot and frankly they aren't the same. The icing/toppings start to melt and they are not crafted to melt. The only donut you see warm at other places is the glazed. I have never gotten a hot chocolate dipped or filled one anywhere.

For St. Patty's day he was filling his special for the day. I think he will start moving that way. At the moment it is just Jeff and an assistant doing all the work. As he gets a handle on the daily grind I see him expanding his lineup a good bit.

I definitely want to give District Donuts and Blue Dot Donuts a try the next time I'm down in New Orleans. And I'm wondering if the original Mr. Ronnie's would be a safer bet than the one in town.

I guess I will admit my ignorance. I wasn't aware that it is customary for craft donuts to not be warm. I guess that makes sense when you consider all of the toppings and sauces which would presumably melt if kept too warm.

This there is no denying.

Maybe I need to give them another try. I will admit that I still want to try the Peanutbutter Cup, Banana's Foster, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch doughnuts.
