VOODOO!

If you've ever watched a FoodNetwork or Travel Channel show on Portland, Oregon, then you've probably heard about Voodoo Doughnuts. They are an...hmm...eclectic company that attracts a strange crowd. Could it be their unconventional doughnuts like the voodoo doll, bacon maple bar, or their ode to several breakfast cereals such as Captain Crunch, Fruit Loops and Coco Puffs? You need to check out their menu for a full appreciation of their offerings. So, you could imagine our delight when Voodoo announced they would be opening a store in Eugene. Of course, in true Voodoo style, they kept their actual location and opening date a secret. As if they needed to spark any more intrigue. Finally, they are here. But just to keep the drama going, we're not quite sure exactly the hours they are open. One sign says until they are sold out. Another says until 5p.m. And the latest I heard was from 2a.m. to 2p.m. Oh well, just go. We waited in a bit of a line that went out the door, but it wasn't too bad. I did try the maple bacon bar. I have to say, it was good. A maple bar with a piece of bacon on it. Brilliant.
