Happy National Doughnut Day

...more than thirty years ago at the Wayne County Fair in Wooster, Ohio i encountered the best doughnut i have ever had...it was made by a company called Lerch's Doughnuts...they didn't have an actual storefront sort of building, just a few mobile units that they would take to fairs and festivals and such...and the doughnuts they produced were as manna from heaven...deep golden brown and crunchy on the outside and on the inside, a cloud that melted in one's mouth...they would sell as fast as they came out of the fryer and people would line up, anxiously awaiting the next batch and as soon as they were cool enough so as not to raise blisters, they would disappear in a frenzy of lip-smackin' and yummy noises...
...i remember the taste and aroma all these years later and wonder if these doughy delights are still around...perhaps and cross-continental doughnut run is in order...
