Celebrity chef Graham Elliot on his favorite Holtman’s doughnut:

"I did. I love maple—it’s my favorite ingredient in the world, so I was going to get the maple bun, and they were like, Ah, but the pecan one is better. And it was; it was great. And then, of course, Lucky Charms and Fruity Pebbles, so I tried those."
