At retro-dipped Glam Doll Donuts, co-owner Teresa Fox has made it her life's pursuit to push the boundaries of fried dough, using it as a delivery instrument for all kinds of cavity-causing mayhem. Highlights include airy raised doughnuts gleaming with a cinnamon-orange-ginger glaze, delicately crispy crullers crowned with swirls of thick lemon-cream cheese icing, super-moist cake doughnuts (try the beer-bacon version) and what may be the city's definitive maple-bacon Long John. There's an impressive vegan selection, too. Open to 1 a.m. Friday and Saturday. 2605 Nicollet Av. S., Mpls.; 612-345-7064; glamdolldonuts.com
