Donuts and Chicken?

Yup donuts and chicken. I can't remember how I heard about federal donuts but I've been there three times now. I've been to two different locations. On both occasions I only ordered donuts. This time me and my fiancé ordered donuts, chicken, and coffee. I opted for the lemon cream and she chose the cinnamon and brown sugar.
We also had the soy sauce and garlic fried chicken.

The chicken was seasoned perfectly and the donuts were cake soft. Neither had too much flavoring. They are both made fresh while you stand there. The only downside was the coffee. Sugar didn't help at all. The after taste was bitter too. Overall I would go back again. I just won't order the coffee.

Mt. Rushmore: The Orange is the New Black Edition (so far...)

Suzanne "Crazy Eyes" Warren is a crucial piece of the fabric that is OITNB. From the moment she appeared on screen she endeared herself with fans of the show. Viewers decide quickly if a character is memorable or not and she made an indelible mark. From run-ins with inmates to her unique way of getting her point across. When people think of OITNB it's hard not to picture her or her antics.
Galina 'Red' Reznikov immediately screamed authoritative to me. The way she controlled the kitchen with an iron fist. The inmates respected her power and her people backed her at every opportunity. Until things started to unravel she probably had the most respect in the prison.
Yvonne "Vee" Parker
I have an affinity for villains. Soon as we are introduced to Vee she comes across as cold hearted, calculated, and manipulative. She is a chameleon and whatever the situation calls for she transforms into. Once you think she's backed into a corner she isn't. Anything is possible and you never know what will happen if a situation involves her. People love a wildcard.
George "Pornstache" Mendez With any show that involves prison the correctional officers usually play a significant role. OITNB is no different. Mendez is the prototypical bully who abuses his authority. He makes and breaks rules anytime he sees fit. People walk on eggshells around him and he craves the power. He is intertwined with plenty of major plot points and he never fails to say or do something to keep you interested.

Mt. Rushmore: Fictional movie detectives

John McClane Die Hard, Die Harder, Die Hard With a Vengeance, Live Free or Die Hard, A Good Day to Die Hard/ Best moment- Die Hard/ Worst moment - A Good Day To Die Hard/ Box office total: $1,435.1/ Why do they belong on Mt. Rushmore? McLane is an icon. He has an iconic catchphrase. He lost hair in every sequel, he's a heavy smoker and a screw up. He also gets the job done every. single. time. Need I say more?
Alonzo Harris Training Day/ Best moment- Training Day/ Worst moment - N/A/ Box office total: $104,876,233/ Why do they belong on Mt. Rushmore? He said this. Period. End of story.
Axel Foley Beverly Hills Cop, Beverly Hills Cop 2, Beverly Hills Cop 3/ Best moment- Beverly Hills Cop 2/ Worst moment - Beverly Hills Cop 3/ Box office total: $735.5/ Why do they belong on Mt. Rushmore? He wore this the entire series. He represented Detroit. His sequel was better than the original. (the third film never happened) He defined the 80's and ushered in the comedy/action genre.
Martin Riggs Lethal Weapon, Lethal Weapon 2, Lethal Weapon 3, Lethal Weapon 4/ Best moment- Lethal Weapon 2/ Worst moment - Lethal Weapon 4/ Box office total: $955.2/ Why do they belong on Mt. Rushmore? He had to deal with this guy. He almost did a billion at the box office. He also said this. Case closed.
