Donut Friar, Gatlinburg

I have been going to Gatlinburg atleast once a year on average, and only this year did I actually get the time to stroll through downtown leisurely and explore all the shops around there.

Before even going there we looked up some must-see places, and among the list was the Donut Friar. This is run by a charming old lady, who knows everything there is to know about donuts (or is it doughnuts?)

If you like Crispy Creme, or better yet Dunkin, just imagine the perfect doughnut melting in your mouth as soon as the piece hits the space between your palette and tongue.

mmmmmmmmmmm…. heaven! 

So next time, if you are driving by or visiting Gatlinburg, check out this little shop… It is located inside a shopping arcade called “The Village“.  Actually even if you are not a big fan of doughnuts, just take a stroll through The Village, for the construction resembles medieval European style buildings. (brick walkways, conical domes for buildings and such..)
