NEW SPIN ON THEIR DONUTS. THERE’S BEEN NO LACK OF INCREDIBLE FOOD SAMPLED HERE ON EYEOPENER EATS, BUT OF ALL THE PLACES WE’VE TRAVELED TO IN THE COMMONWEALTH, I’M NOT SURE THERE’S BEEN A MORE HEAD TURNING CREATION THAN THIS CHEESEBURGER DONUT AT DONNA’S DONUTS HERE IN TEWKSBURY. ONE GENTLEMAN ACTUALLY BROUGHT HIS BURGER BACK BECAUSE HE WAS UPSET. HE WENT HOME. HE MICROWAVED IT. HE THOUGHT IT WAS REAL MEAT. BILL WILSON IS THE MAD SCIENTIST, IF YOU WILL, AT THIS PROUDLY OLD FASHIONED DONUT SHOP. ANYTHING ELSE FOR YOU GOING ON 31 YEARS? DONUTS. UNBELIEVABLE. YOU’RE THE BEST AROUND THE STAFF IS WONDERFUL. THEY’RE ALWAYS GREAT TO YOU. THERE’S NOT MANY PLACES LIKE THIS STILL AROUND. NO, NO. AND DUNKIN IS THE LAST PLACE I WANT TO GO. ALSO ON THE MENU, A MEATBALL SUB DONUT AND A STEAK AND CHEESE DONUT. BUT DONNA’S OFFERS MORE TRADITIONAL OPTIONS TOO, LIKE THEIR TOP SELLING HOT HONEY DIP. WE HAVE A BELL WHICH WILL BRING THE HOT HONEY DIPS OUT. THE BELL GETS RUNG, AND PEOPLE KNOW THAT THE HONEY DIPS ARE HOT. AND WHILE THE HOT HONEY DIPS ARE DELICIOUS, I FEEL LIKE I CAN EAT LIKE SIX THINGS. IT’S THE CHEESEBURGER DONUT AKA AN UNFINISHED SHELL DONUT ACTING AS THE BUN, A CHOCOLATE DONUT AS THE MEAT, AND BAVARIAN CREAM AS THE CHEESE. WE’VE HAD CUSTOMERS THINK THEY WERE REAL AND COMPLAIN THAT THEY DON’T HAVE A REFRIGERATED CASE OUT FRONT THAT WILL HAVE ME DROOLING FOR YEARS TO COME IN TEWKSBURY MATT REE
