Donut Fest

While fancy doughnuts are a bit played out at this point, Chicago still boasts some amazing purveyors of fried dough. The annual Donut Fest brings together some of the city's best shops (Roeser's Bakery, Stan's, Firecakes and Doughnut Vault) for an afternoon of sampling, accompanied by coffee from Dark Matter and La Colombe. With two sessions to choose from, you'll have to decide if you want an early-morning sugar rush or doughnuts for lunch.
