Doggy Bag: Fear and Loathing at the Fryolator

Fried and glazed: At the Bold Italic, Ethan Kanat shows up at 3 a.m. to do a piece of vital reportage: Following Dynamo Donuts' Sara Spearin around the kitchen as she muscles through batch after batch of sinkers. Kanat is as about as funny as you could expect for a guy stoking his synapses on Red Bull, sugar, and coffee:

One of Spearin's partners is fond of telling her that there is a machine to do a lot of the things she does by hand. Of course, that would defeat the point. When you're making a masterpiece such as the bacon maple apple donut , you don't cut corners. I mean, Leonardo could have gotten himself a set of finger paints and just sat out in the yard drawing flowers. But that's not how you get a Ninja Turtle named after you, is it?
