VOODOO DOUGHNUT - it's now or never at Universal Studios Hollywood!
We’ve always been curious about Voodoo Doughnut when visiting City Walk at Universal Orlando, but the line to get in has always been long or we’ve been full of theme park food and not hungry. Since then, "Voo were always on our mind". So when we arrived at City Walk Hollywood very early on August 1st 2023 for our VIP Studio Tour and saw that Voodoo had just opened for the day, we knew it was now or never!
As we greedily skipped up to the counter we gave no thought to the fact that we would shortly be lavished with an eat all you want breakfast and later a gourmet lunch. Fortunately we only ordered one donut, to share (never been known), as when it arrived it was HUGE!
Not bad for $6.50.
As big fans of Elvis Presley and the City of Memphis, as soon as we saw a doughnut called “MEMPHIS MAFIA” we knew we had to choose that one. Wise men say only fools rush in, but we didn’t even look at the rest of the menu as this one was at the top!
The Memphis Mafia was fried dough (like a fritter) with banana chunks and cinnamon, topped with glaze, chocolate chips, peanuts, and chocolate and peanut butter drizzle, synonymous with a snack Elvis liked when he had the munchies on those late Graceland nights.
We sat outside Voodoo in the early morning sunshine all shook up at the size of the doughnut. It was a monster! And like monsters, we demolished it - with some effort, as the forks kept bending!
Delicious! Banana-ery! Chocolately. Peanut buttery. It was like a hunk of burning love! It was like the sweet song of a choir! It was like the Lord had given us a mountain to climb.
Then it was gone! We didn’t leave a crumb.
The doughnut had left the building!
