This Old-School Illinois Donut Shop Serves Fresh Treats Before Most People Are Awake

The doors at this donut shop never close. Not at midnight, not at 4 a.m., not on Sunday. The fryers keep working while the rest of the neighborhood sleeps. This independent Illinois spot makes its donuts from scratch. The shelves hold a huge lineup of colorful, creative flavors. Think red velvet, German chocolate, lemon drops, and apple fritters, all under one roof.

T & S Kitchen has a really good fried fish sandwich

T & S Kitchen’s silver food truck in Champaign has a menu of fried fish, fried chicken, fried shrimp, sides, and two different cakes by the slice. I ordered the fried fish sandwich ($15, fries included), which was a long bun stuffed with double fish filets, leaf lettuce, sliced tomato, white onion slivers, pickle discs, and a delicious tartar sauce. Hot and fried to order, the fish tasted phenomenal with gritty cornmeal and ultra tender, flaky fish. And two filets? That sandwich was stacked and really good.
