Buttermilk cake doughnut from Dat Donut
Tasting notes: This one left a bad, shortening-like taste in our mouths, and several tasters noted "off" flavors.

We are living in the golden age of donuts in Chicago. To prove it, we picked up a dozen donuts from the best spots in Chicago—Glazed & Infused, Endgrain, Doughnut Vault, Do-Rite Donuts, Old Fashioned Donuts, Dat Donut and Firecakes—and did a taste test of all of them in one sitting, to determine the standout flavors from each. Check out the slide show to find out the best donuts, the worst donuts and more notes from the tasting.
