Online travel agency Travelocity is well familiar with food tourism in the United States, and the effect a great doughnut shop can have in bringing in visitors. After scouring the country, the company’s team of editors put together its list of the best doughnut shop each state has to offer.
Travelocity compiled the list as a way to celebrate National Doughnut Day on Friday, June 2. Many of the big names made the cut, such as Donut Bar in Nevada, Café du Monde in Louisiana, Federal Donuts in Pennsylvania, and Duck Donuts in North Carolina.
