Krispy Kreme is a doughnut company founded in July 13, 1937. Krispy Kreme founder Vernon Rudolph bought a secret yeast-raised recipe from a New Orleans chef, rented a building in what is now historic Old Salem in Winston-Salem, NC, and began selling to local grocery stores.

Mike and I love our Krispy Kreme doughnuts too! I prefer chocolate glazed and he likes the custard filled and lemon filled.
