Spudnut

In 1946 brothers Al and Bob Pelton in Salt Lake City, Utah began what would become one of America's favorite food confections, a chain of Spudnut Shops stretching from coast to coast, Alaska to Mexico. Many became devoted fans of Spudnuts, named for being potato flour donuts, "spud"nuts. Over time the parent company went out of business, gone but not forgotten.
