Nothing beats the original Krispy Kreme.

It's one thing, holding open the door for someone at a grocery store, or the library, or just about anyplace else. But the doughnut shop is a different thing altogether. This is a get-in-and-out-as-fast-as-you-can operation. There's no room for courtesy or chivalry here.

My first job at the bakery was jamming doughnuts.

Dad was a baker, and we lived above the bakery, so I was always popping down to have an apple pie or a doughnut or a custard or gypsy tart: I had a very sweet tooth, and I think that that was what got me into doing what I do now.

I still take my own lunches to work. That way I can control what I'm eating, as opposed to another doughnut.

I cannot go to Montreal without going to Beauty's, my favorite place for breakfast, where I have the Mish-Mash omelet with hot dogs, salami, eggs, green peppers, and onions, and the best banana bread in the world. It's legendary!

I used to sit in front of McDonald's and ask people for dollars to get me a cheeseburger. It was bad.

While I'm driving north, I'm already thinking about kippers - it's worth the journey just to have kippers for breakfast on Saturday.

I'm quitting the business today. I'm going to open up an appliance store, I've always really been into toasters. I'm giving it all up.
