"A photo posted by Peterson’s Donut Corner (@petersonsdonutcorner) on Feb 29, 2016 at 9:07am PST. As much as I would have loved to, if I did all my own “research” for this article, they would have had to cut me out of my house… so I took to Facebook to ask my friends which doughnut shops they love and I had an overwhelming response for Peterson’s Donut Corner in Escondido. Peterson’s is open 24 hours and no matter what time of day, they always have customers."
