Is a Maple Bar not a donut?

Hot damn, Yella. That's all you need to pass for a decent donut?

I don’t believe you.
On the American West Coast and British Columbia, Long Johns are called
bars
or
bar doughnuts
, such as the maple bar (topped with a maple glaze
) and the chocolate bar. Filled Long Johns are called
filled bars
, or
filled bar doughnuts
. For example, an unfilled (or even custard-filled) Long John with maple-flavoredicing is called a
maple bar
in California.
They may also be topped with chopped bacon and called a maple bacon bar.
Maple bars are prominent on the West coast of the United States; they are also known as a maple-glazed Long John, Maple-Creamstick or maple Bismarck.

We are kindred spirits. I fucking love maple bars and thankfully, they are not plentiful in Kentucky otherwise I’d be in big trouble.

The biggest disappointment of 1996 was Super Donut on the Ave.

Name change to Super? Donut
Shout out to some of the little asian donut places. There was one in Northgate whose name I always forgot. Buddy just told me about one in Tacoma, Pao's or something.

Some random place called Donut Nook in Vancouver, WA are my favorite donuts I've ever had. Cherry Fritter which I've never seen somewhere else and it's a legit 70s time warp in there. Most recent negative Yelp review is about them hosting a Joe Kent event so take that how you will.

Maple bar with bacon or gtfo..

anybody know the difference between an apple fritter and a bear claw?
-
-
Bacon on a donut is try hard move. It’s not needed.
-
Yup, ones called an apple fritter and the other is called a bear claw.
-
Bear claw has the gooey apple pie filling. Fritter is just chunks of apple baked in the dough.
-
Fritter:
Bear Claw:
Bear Claw is more of a soft pastry.

Apple fritters are so fucking good.

The Donut House in Anacortes is the best I've had.
Donuts are in my blood (doctors call it "cholesterol"). My grandpa bought donut shops in the LA area, rehabbed them, sold them at a profit. Sometimes was running multiple shops. My dad was running a shop for him just out of high school.
When I was a kid, we were driving down to visit and got into SoCal (ILTCIT) in the wee hours of the night, so we just rocked right up to Grandpa's donut shop and watched him bake. Fun fact: Fritters are just the scraps from all of the day's donuts cut with fruit (apples, blueberries, whatever) and dropped in the fat. It's why they're so fucking good. They're ALL the donuts.
I fell asleep on the bags of flowers, was nudged awake and pushed toward the van, and ate about 30 day-olds over the course of the rest of the day.

Why are there so many donut shops in LA? I always assumed it was a front for something when I lived there, especially given how health focused everyone with money there is and how it's a food that feels like it tastes better in cold weather.
