Sold by Austin-based private equity to California-based private equity. I’m sure they will continue on as mid as ever. Give me your average Korean grandma and grandpa actually putting enough jalapeños in the “kolaches” (I know they’re really klobasneks) and chucking a million doughnut holes in every order.

Yeah, Shipley is only good when it's super fresh. The initial thumbnail I saw had a different headline and I panicked at the thought of it being Round Rock donuts.

All this mostly reminds me that I need an excuse to swing by Gerik's in West.
