I had the most unusual experience at a wedding this weekend. Instead of a cake, the bride and groom rented a "donut trailer" from Carpe Donut. For several hours, guests were able to have a cup of coffee and enjoy all the sugary freshly made donuts they wanted. Almost as enjoyable as the donuts was the friendly banter of the "donut chef"/owner Matt Rohdie and the sight of this donut shop on wheels.
For a time in Charlottesville, we had the opportunity to watch the freshly made donuts rolling down the assembly line of the local Krispy Kreme, but something about this outfit is special. It is surprising and it is novel, but more importantly, the owner appears to be a true craftsman. The company is committed to organic and local ingredients, the oil used to fry the donuts is converted to bio fuel when it is no longer useful for cooking, and there is complete transparency in the production; you can watch everything being made from start to finish.
