National Doughnut Day is celebrated
each year on the first Friday in June. Doughnut lovers all rise
to celebrate a wonderful circle of sweet, doughy goodness that
has a day set aside holey in its honor.
Smoky Bones features a
3/8th-inch thick slice of Applewood smoked bacon, hand-carved
and then candied in brown sugar and black pepper. The chunk of
meat is then roasted until crispy and shaped into a traditional
doughnut ring. The sugary, peppery and crispy slice is then
dipped in the restaurant’s “signature vanilla cake batter and
cooked until perfectly golden brown.” On top of that goes a
second glaze of confectioner’s sugar and maple sugar. It is then
topped with even more smoked bacon pieces. Smoky Bones is a
nationwide BBQ restaurant.
Incidentally, donut
is the spelling from Dunkin Donuts.

Happy National Doughnut Day
National Doughnut Day is
celebrated on the first Friday of June each year. (Doughnut is the
dictionary spelling, but donut is becoming more acceptable each
year.)
National Doughnut Day started on June 7, 1938 when a young military doctor by the name of Morgan Pett was sent to a military base. On his way there he stopped at a bakery and picked up eight dozen doughnuts. When he arrived at the base he started helping many wounded soldiers, and would give them a free doughnut. One man he helped was a Lieutenant General by the name of Samuel Geary. Samuel Geary decided to make a fund raiser with Morgan Pett to give every wounded soldier, and the needy a doughnut. This fund raiser was later joined with the Salvation Army. Many donut shops still give out free donuts on this day.
In honor of the day Krispy Kreme, with no purchase necessary, will hand out a free donut of choice to each customer.
Dunkin Donuts (which began the new spelling) will give out one free donut with the purchase of any beverage.
Incidentally, International Jelly-Filled Doughnut Day is widely recognized as June 8.
