Located in a shiny silver food cart in Austin, Gordough’s makes donut consumption feel downright classy. Their donuts are cloud-like and enormous, substantial and satisfying. When you order, you are asked to craft the yeast donut of your wildest dreams – do you want a fried chicken strip on that? with honey butter? Perhaps some habanero pepper jelly? Yellow cake batter filling or grilled bananas? All of the above. Then, it is handed to you, piping hot and freshly-decorated, in a paper sleeve. Five-star donut fare over the cozy-cart-counter in the blink of an eye.
Hanukkah relevance: They have a donut called the ‘slow burn.’ Does that count?
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
