The "Donut Decision" Story
It was an ordinary day. We are headed to eat breakfast at Brown's on the boardwalk in Ocean City, MD. Always a fun time and something we try to do the first or second day we are in OC. There are 11 of us today, so it will take more than one table to accommodate us. Brown's has the best donuts on the boardwalk. It is on the northern end of the boardwalk and we take a car to get there. Today Dave is driving his Dodge Van so we can all get in one car. Two in the front, three in the second seat and the rest in the way back. Packed car, but we only have to drive 6 blocks to get there. He drops us off right at the boardwalk and goes to find a parking space. The line by the donut window has about 30 people in it. Going to take half an hour to make donuts for all those people. We got smart a few years ago and realized that if you go in their restaurant next door, as soon as you're seated you can order donuts and you get your donuts BEFORE the people in line. The donuts can't be good for you. Made with vegetable oil and are soooooo good. Warm and good for dunking. They have plain, chocolate coated, vanilla coated, cinnamon, honey and powdered. My favorite ........ the vanilla! We order everything from 3-egg omelets to french toast. But, the donuts come first. For 11 people we got three dozen. By the time our breakfast arrives, some were so full on the donuts they bared touched their food. Happens every year!! The next day Carol and I decide to ride the boards after we get up so we rented bikes with BIG seats. Can't stand those little narrow ones that stick up your crotch. We head down the boardwalk towards Browns. Yep, love them so much. But, on our trip down we pass Ove's Restaurant and as we pedal past, see that they also make cake donuts, but use apple cider to fry their donuts. Well, on our way back from the end of the boards we have to make a stop and try one and .......... I'm not sure which donuts we like the best. Gotta have to test both of them tomorrow. It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
