Rick’s grandmother, Eva Monkhouse, started the family business nearly a half century ago. The MSNBC did a special on this Square Donuts and interviewed a regular. Tom Keller is a businessman from Chicago. His business brings him to Terre Haute often enough to be a regular at Square Donuts. “I’ll tell our drivers, and they’ll say they’ve never heard of Square Donuts. They like them. They are very unique.” This is a different kind of obscure fame for Terre Haute as being the only place in America to find square doughnuts. Square Donuts has been recognized by the “odd-but-good eateries” for PBS and the HollyEats.com web site. Keith Olbermann, host of MSNBC “Countdown” show interviewed Square Donuts. I have tried these delicious treats in the past and I must say that they are better than the average doughnut. You can’t beat the price of $4.50 for a dozen.
