SPUDNUTS This little drive-in has been dishing up no-frills donuts hot and fresh for as long as anyone can remember. We only wish they could be had beyond the “golden triangle.” Made of potato flour and lighter than the cushiest white bread — but with more of a delicious browned flavor than any doughnut you’ve ever tasted — they provoke an instant stampede whenever a box of them enters a room full of locals. 810 W. Faulkner El Dorado AR No cc $ 870-863-9914 BL Mon. - Sat.
