It pains me to post this, especially in light of post hurricane and the real issues..but this really pissed me off "what the market will bear" mentality on 30a is reaching a whole new level. I went into the Donut Hut this AM and four kolaches and one donut was $33. But then again their pizza place for a slice and a drink is $12.
A lady (for her students) was buying 50 glazed donuts.....discount? Of course! It was only a hundred and something dollars. I know, I know, labor is crazy expensive, but a donut is flour, water, oil and sugar. The cost to make a glazed donut is 12 cents.
Does it end? It does with me. Brozinni, Donut Hut and Big Daddy, you can keep it, I ain't taking it anymore.

Since the dawn of time tourists get gouged and locals learn how to cook.

As locals we know where to go. So go there.

Just FYI...yesterday we had a crew bring relief supplies and food out to Indian Pass. Through social media, someone at Inlet Beach Donut Hole found out about the trip out there, called and gave us 20 DOZEN FREE donuts to bring along. That was a nice gesture, to be sure.

On their website it says the koloaches are $3.75 and most of the donuts are 1.99. You can always go to the five daughters airstream and pay $5.00 for one donut. Now that is crazy.

Let's say thanks to all the restaurants and staff who have helped feed those in need. Go to their places and enjoy a meal with a warm heart and cold cash.

Mr Brozinni is known for going postal when criticized.
