Doughnut: Voodoo Doughnut vs. Blue Star Donuts

Portland has become a city best known for their incredible food and drink. There are tons of new craft breweries, distilleries, and restaurants opening every day that strive to take the best the Pacific Northwest has to offer and create new, exciting dishes using expert techniques.

Even though there are tons of amazing restaurants in the city, the most contentious rivalry is between their two most famous doughnut shops, Voodoo Doughnut and Blue Star Donuts. Voodoo has been around since 2003 and specializes in quirky and imaginative combinations like maple-bacon and grape-lavender. Blue Star, which opened in 2010, focuses on quality ingredients and expert techniques, and while their combinations are less kooky, they generally produce a more delicious doughnut.
