About Us
Memory is a funny thing, I cannot remember what I had for dinner two days ago but there is one special memory that sticks out in my mind as if it were yesterday. The memory of a store that sold, what was for me, the
Ultimate Donut.
I was living in Baltimore, MD about 50 years ago when I happened across a little bakery. The bakery was located in a strip mall on Reisterstown road just off of Belvedere road and this shop had, what I would nominate, the Ultimate Donut. The baker was from the old country and only used the finest and freshest ingredients. Of course things were different back then, without all the processed junk available today. The plain donut had a texture to it that was both firm and delicate at the same time and melted in your mouth so I knew I had found my vision of heaven. The donut, unlike today’ common version did not have any air holes or greasy flavor, just a solid sweet tenderness utterly lacking in the products of today. The smell of the donut was fresh vanilla and spices with just that small touch of cinnamon that makes all donuts tastes so good.
But I have to tell you about my favorite donut. The chocolate covered donut. I have traveled far and wide and I have not ever found another chocolate covered donut that even came close to the ones I found way back then. Unlike the processed artificial stuff they call chocolate today, the chocolate that covered this delectable masterpiece was incredibly think and rich. It was so thick it had to actually be a whole inch worth of chocolate smothering the top of the donut all the way around. And the chocolate!! What a taste sensation! Imagine if you would, the best chocolate, made by the best Swiss chocolate makers and you may come close to what was covering the donut.
That is not all my friends, No, now I must tell you all about the jelly filled donuts the baker at this small unremarkable bakery offered to us mere mortals on a daily basis. Today, the jelly that fills our donuts comes from a factory somewhere and is made with preservatives and I honestly do not know what else, but back then the jelly was homemade with real fruit usually picked fresh and turned to jelly within just a few hours of being picked.
The jelly donuts that I used to get from this simple little shop were filled to overflowing with the sweet, fresh, just picked goodness of real homemade jelly. Just one bite and the jelly would pop out of the donut and flow all over your fingers, mustache, everything! Today’ jelly donuts have a bite or two of jelly and then you are left with a tasteless wad of greasy dough, but when biting into the Ultimate Jelly filled donut, the first bite flooded your mouth with the homemade sweetness of real fresh fruit. The dough that was used as a holding place for this wonderful taste of summer jelly was not greasy or tasteless either the way to day donuts are. The cream filled donuts made by this bakery were made with fresh cool handmade whipped cream and the custards, which were the same filling used in their Boston cream pie melted on the tongue like the sweetest dream.
Although I have searched far and wide, I have never been able to find donuts to equal the memory The bakery was located in a strip mall on Reisterstown road just off of Belvedere Road in Baltimore, MD.

The next time you want donut but it’s time for dinner, why not combine the best of both worlds and make yourself a Luther Burger? Said to be a favorite of late, R&B singer Luther, this is simply substituting a glazed donut in place of buns when making your favorite burger creation. If you’re a fan of combining sweet and savory, this may be a home run. Looks like a winner to us!
If Starbuck can be define an individual by the coffee they drink, he is a Carmel Machida and she a low fat, no whip, Frappuccino.. hen why not the iconic donut? Maybe the donut would have better served Freud in determining different personality traits. Much more welcome I am sure then ink blots!
With a comucopia of donuts to choose from there must be that ‘erfect’ one that describes the essence of who YOU really are!
Let us reflect on the newest line of donut launched by “inema Circles”. All their donuts are named after movies that one can identify with.
The first is the Titanic Donut , this donut is for those who laugh and make merry. Covered with iceberg frosting, hidden in this donut, is ten times the cholesterol of any other they sell. After eating just one, YOU sink from the fat you just consumed!
Next on their menu is the Rocket Man Donut. This one was created is for all those work alcoholics, college students cramming for finales, working mothers and assembly line workers. It contains five shots of Red Bull, enabling any over achiever, to Rochet through anything!
Let’s have a look inside donut times
The Donut Football League (DFL) is a playful and imaginative twist on professional football, blending the excitement of the sport with the fun and whimsy of donuts. It’s designed to capture the spirit of pro football but with a completely unique and wacky spin. Although it features no real teams or players, the DFL aims to appeal to die-hard football fans by showcasing NFL-inspired designs on garments and merchandise. The fun theme of donuts, which represent a favorite snack, adds a creative and light-hearted flavor to the league, making it something fans won’t find in the NFL.
The DFL isn’t bound by traditional football rules or aesthetics—it’s far more eccentric and visually striking, creating a brand identity that is as entertaining as it is unconventional. The focus is on humor, fun, and originality while still tapping into the passion fans have for the game. Think of it as football fandom reimagined with a dash of donut-themed madness!
This is your fun club! If you have something funny to share about football—whether it’s a quirky observation, a hilarious story, or even a funny football-related meme—send it to us! We’ll feature it on our platforms, and if you’d like, we’ll include your name and/or photo. Your contribution might even make it into our magazine, Donut Times, for the whole DFL community to enjoy!
