Have you heard or eaten a donut from Winchell's. Are they still around?

I grew up on those donuts in the 1970's California, and would die for a Winchell's BEAR CLAW.

We used to have those in Chicago. The Dunkin Donuts in the State & Division neighborhood used to be one, it changed around 1978.

WInchell's donuts closed down all around Chicago back inthe late 70's early 80's. I don't even know if they are in Illinois anymore.

Yes, but I'm not fond of donuts so I don't know if they're good. And yes, it's still around.
