Exploring Minnesota’s Sweet Side
Instead of the usual red apple, a doughnut might be a more fitting gift for this Minnesota elementary school teacher. In November 2020, Kara Johnson of Cambridge embarked on an unexpected odyssey—she set out to try a new doughnut shop every week. What started as a way to support small businesses during the pandemic has turned into a riveting journey that shows no signs of stopping. Almost four years and over 190 doughnut shops later, Johnson continuously finds joy in life’s simplest (and sweetest) pleasures.
