Voodoo Deliciousness

Next to Sprinkles Cupcakes which was written about in an early post, Voodoo Doughnut is also a MUST try on your date location list. Voodoo Doughnuts is sadly not located in the DFW area but if you plan on traveling down to Austin in the near future, you MUST try Voodoo Doughnut. Though it's not in the area, I feel that I have to write about it because I have heard so many wonderful things about their donuts and I want you to try it!!!

Voodoo Doughnut has so many unique kinds that they are not like any donut you've had before.
They offer three kinds Raised Yeast Doughnuts, Cake Doughnuts & Vegan Doughnuts.

"Okay - I love donuts. I mean, I really love donuts. Even with that intro, Voodoo donuts was great. The variety is ridiculous and each donut was light, fluffy and incredibly sweet. I particularly liked "Dirt" - raised yeast, vanilla frosting, and Oreos. You could get very fat here, but it would be worth it."

"They have so many doughnuts it was hard to choose. I went with the Grape Ape. One of the best doughnuts I've ever had! If you like doughnuts this is a must stop when in Austin!"

"We went here today (May 2017). We had peach fritter, hibiscus doughnut, and maple crueler. The peach fritter was amazing, A+. Out of this world. The other two were unique and tasty but not necessarily worth making a destination out of doughnut hunting."

Relationship tip: on this date ask a question like “If you were on a desert island, but your needs for food and shelter were totally taken care of, what one luxury item would you wish for?” This could be a great conversation starter and you could learn something new about your spouse.

Tom+Chee

I first heard of TOM+CHEE on Shark Tank and as a classic grilled cheese lover that I am, Tom+Chee was added to my bucket list. While visiting my husbands family in Ohio last year I was finally able to try Tom+Chee in Akron and oh my gosh, it was THE BEST grilled cheese I've eaten! 

If you and your spouse love a good Grilled Cheese Sandwich or Donut & Tomato Soup, then make your next date location at TOM+CHEE.

Check out how they got famous on Shark Tank. (The video is a little choppy but the sound is excellent!)

What really set them apart is their World Famous Grilled Cheese Donuts!!! 
Right there is two of my most favorite things COMBINED!

They cut the donut in half and grill it inside-out with your choice of cheese.

Relationship tip: on this date ask questions like “Name an activity you used to do when you were younger that you don’t do anymore–but you’d likely enjoy if you started again. Do you think we could/should add it to our lives now?

Asking this question could invite a new activity that brings you closer together.
