94. A Batch Made In Heaven: Tracy Owens Of Voyageur Donuts

We have been sweet on donuts for centuries. While the exact origin of the sweet treat remains a mystery, many believe its invention came about in the 1600s, slowly cementing its place in history in the centuries that followed. Today, donuts are having a big moment in Duluth, thanks to a delectable new donut shop in Canal Park. Located along Lake Avenue on the main floor of the DeWitt-Seitz building, and fit with a convenient outdoor ordering and pickup window, Voyageur Donuts will have you convinced you need to eat more HOLE foods, with a varied menu of staples, signatures and seasonal specials and of course, their much buzzed about Hot Dish Donut. All pair perfectly with their carefully curated menu of coffee creations. If you haven’t caught on by now, Voyageur Donuts has elevated the pastry in a pretty perfect way, inspiring Northlanders everywhere to paddle on the sweet side of life one donut at a time. Co-owner and Chief Operating Officer Tracy Owens joins us to talk all about the unique journey that led her to Duluth’s most saccharine new spot: Voyageur Donuts.
