Super GemBudget GemChicago Exclusive GemDish Gem$Regulars call him the Donut King, and he's earned it: other Chicago donut shop owners, including the people behind D&D's, trained under him before opening their own places. The apple fritter wasn't even on the original menu — it became the signature almost by accident over the decades, now sized like a dinner plate, thick with cinnamon and real apple chunks, glazed while still hot.
