There Goes Any Weight I Lost: Voodoo Doughnut Expanding To Denver

Well, there goes any weight I’ve managed to lose. Voodoo Doughnut is apparently coming to Denver.

Mind you, I’ve never particularly had a big problem with weight. However, in recent years I did let things slip a bit. My wife and I decided to start eating better and I dropped almost 35 pounds in 2-3 months. That’s all going to go to crap now that Voodoo Doughnut is coming to town.

Just take a peek at some of their doughnuts. Voodoo doll (“Raised yeast doughnut filled with raspberry jelly topped with chocolate frosting and a pretzel stake.”):

Bacon Maple Bar (“Raised yeast doughnut with maple frosting and bacon on top.”):

Captain my Captain (“Raised yeast doughnut with vanilla frosting and Captain Crunch.”):

Diablos Rex (“Chocolate cake doughnut with chocolate frosting, red sprinkles, vanilla pentagram and chocolate chips in the middle”):

That’s just a few. There are many, many more. All of them interesting, all of them likely deliciously bad.

Obviously, this is good for my taste buds and bad for everything else. I’ve been wanting to try this place since reading about it in James Bernard Frost’s A Very Minor Prophet, but I haven’t been to Portland in years (and usually only just passing through. Now I’ll have Voodoo Doughnut readily at hand.

I didn’t pay a huge amount of attention to where it’s going in, though I know it is pretty close to my house. The article mentions that the location is going to be on East Colfax near a lesbian bar, a tattoo parlor, and a medical marijuana dispensary…but that could be a lot of places on East Colfax.
