50 States, 50 Sizzling Dishes: The Ultimate Foodie Road Trip Through The USA
Krispy Kreme Donuts from North Carolina
In 1937, North Carolina’s Vernon Rudolph started in Winston-Salem, churning out his yeast-raised creations and selling them wholesale to local stores. But the story gets even yummier. The aroma wafting from the bakery was irresistible, and soon, passersby couldn’t resist asking if they could buy hot donuts themselves.
Legend has it that Rudolph, who knew a good opportunity when he smelled one, cut a hole in the wall and started selling his signature Glazed donuts directly to customers—a stroke of genius that redefined “convenience food.” Today, Krispy Kreme’s rise remains meteoric. They’ve expanded from a single store to over 800 across the globe!
