OT - Speaking of calories and hamburgers, I was watching Sunday Morning yesterday and they profiled a place called Heart Attack Grill. The owner/manager dresses up like a doctor and the waitresses all wear skimpy nurses' outfits. They serve a single, double, triple and quadruple burger with cheese. French fries cooked in lard. The quadruple burger has 8,000 calories!!!!!!!!!! Bill Geist ate one. 
You can pretty much feel your arteries start to clog as soon as you pull into the parking lot. Still, the dogs are pretty good.

Luckily for us, Rutt's Hut is only one of a number of restaurants here in New Jersey that are guaranteed to make you fat and give you heart trouble.
And yes, we have a Dunkin Donuts on every main street and in every shopping mall too.

It's a must in my line of work

I posted the poll in NE too. We have a member who works for a local PD. He says he only eats them on occasion and never stops to buy donuts while in his cruiser. He likes to do the opposite of what people expect. Keep 'em guessing.

One of the first Dunkin Donuts to open for business on the North Shore of Boston in the late '50s was at the end of street where I went to grammar school. I've been eating the original "dunking donut," the one with a handle for dunking, since then. I've spent about 12 years out of the last 50 outside of the USA. So, that means that I've got 38 years of having 2-4 dunking donuts each week on the way to work.
So, if the average is 3 per week, for, say 46 work weeks per year for 38 years, then I may have had as many as 5,000 dunking donuts.
The "dunking donut" is modified with a "handle" appendage that probably destroys it's true donut pedigree. That's why it's the "Harley Davidson" of donuts.
This is a possibility that I may now regret recognizing my weakness for these fried cake morsels and I am certain that I will not share knowledge of this activity with my cardiologist.
Dunking donuts are usually on the top-left most rack in each Dunkin Donuts display rack. I feel slightly comatose when I walk into the store and see that the rack is full and slightly alone when it's empty. If it is empty, I just spin back out and continue my commute to work.
At work, they have chocolate "cake" donuts with chocolate frosting in the cafeteria. One of those and a Starbucks is sufficient fortification to allow me to make it through the day and back to my regular Dunkin Donuts on the following day.

Thanks for the info!

This is the original Dunkin Donut with a handle for dunking on which the company's name was founded. They still have them in the Route 64 store in Glendale Heights, IL. So, I assume that the rest of the chain still makes them.
and see if they have any of the "official" donuts.
