Dunkin' Donuts is like watered down coffee. They put way too much milk in it if you take it that way. I don't understand the obsession with it.

I have neither here. I wish there was something.

I judge cities by the ratio of Dunkin Donuts to Starbucks - the higher the Dunkin Donuts the less swank the city

We have a great mom & pop donut/bagel shop across from my office. Unfortunately they always seem surprised to see a morning rush and it takes forever to get anything from them.

And many Starbucks - perhaps I should narrow the scope from city to neighborhood? Oh and independent coffeee shops trump all - a high amount of those relative to Starbucks or dunkins is a good sign.

We have oodles of Starbucks, with more popping up overnight. Every large grocery store seems to have a kiosk in the lobby area. I have never seen a DD, but we do have a lot of Yum-Yum, but only in the baaad parts of town.

We did have 1 KK, people camped out for a week, waiting for it to open. It lasted a year.

If I am going to do damage I want a donut from Smith's Bakery (locally owned, very good) or Foster's.

Fresno, CA
# of Starbucks: 27
# of Dunkin Donuts: 0

Result? Mathematical proof that Fresno, California, is in a first place tie for swankiest place on earth.
