Atlanta’s Sublime Doughnuts is one of the country's best doughnut shops, and it may have the best décor: doughnut graffiti. Since it opened in August 2008, Sublime garnered quite a bit of attention and praise (this year, Bake magazine named it America’s best bakery). The midtown Atlanta shop on 10th Street is a huge success — the brainchild of Culinary Institute of America and former 3rd Class Petty Officer Kamal Grant (read more about how Sublime came to be). You have to get there early to avoid lines. Even on rainy weekends you’re likely to find a line of people waiting and perusing flavors on the menu like Dulce de Leche, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, Nutella, Butter Toffee, Red Velvet Cake, and many more (the plain glazed is excellent too… light, sweet, airy, wish I had one right now). That’s fine. It gives you time to check out the art on the walls, graffiti. “An employee introduced me to a tattoo artist name Kennie Davis who does graffiti,” noted Grant. “As a lover of hip hop, and growing up at the beginning of the hip-hop generation, I love graffiti and I wanted the shop to represent my loves.” Just hope that by the time you get to the counter that they haven't run out of their most popular doughnuts, the fresh strawberries and cream. — 8/4/2012 Arthur Bovino
