Fair Food for All: Dee’s Donuts Rolls Out Gluten-Free Delights in Minot
A Sweet Solution for Celiac Friends
In a delightful twist of fate for food lovers in Minot, North Dakota, a new contender has arrived in the food truck scene—Dee’s Donuts! This isn’t just any food truck; it’s a culinary haven dedicated to those with celiac disease and gluten sensitivities. Founded by Duane Lothspeich, who intimately understands the challenges of living gluten-free, this mobile kitchen is here to revolutionize how we enjoy fair food.
The Birth of a Dream
The concept for Dee’s Donuts sparkled to life in 2018, but it took the passion and heart of Lothspeich, who has celiac disease running in his family, to bring it to fruition this year. His inspiration? Witnessing the poignant moment when a 10-year-old girl longed for traditional fair foods but realized she couldn’t indulge. With a family spirit driving this venture, Lothspeich decided it was time to whip up a menu that would make everyone feel included.
A Menu Packed with Joy
Imagine waving your hands in the air, sugary cotton candy in one, and a warm, fresh donut in the other—now make that a gluten-free indulgence! Dee’s Donuts isn’t just about donuts; it promises a cornucopia of fair favorites that cater to gluten-free diets without compromising flavor.
While specific menu items are still brewing, expect classics you thought you’d never taste again, like:
- Heavenly Gluten-Free Donuts: Light, airy, and frosted to perfection.
- Churros of Dreams: Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside—sugar-dusted and ready to dunk!
- Fried Fair Treats: Think fritters, funnel cakes, and more—all 100% gluten-free.
A Community Touch
But Dee’s Donuts isn’t just about satisfying cravings; it’s also about giving back. In their next event at Walmart on June 16, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., all tips will go to the Children’s Miracle Network, proving that great food can come with a greater purpose.
