LOCAL The Times, Gainesville, Georgia | gainesvilletimes.com Sunday, December 23, 2018 3C KNEAD ■ Continued from 1C Street Market. Seeing the great potential in the downtown loca tion, Ordonez opened up his first brick-and-mortar shop in Gaines ville on Saturday, Dec. 15. “I hope we have a big impact here,” Ordonez said. “The com munity is wonderful and I’m lov ing the people. What I’m noticing is that people want things to do.” Ordonez graduated from culi nary school in Ecuador, and since then has been looking for ways to share his passion. He said many people have Love Is All You Knead Where: 118 Main St. SW, Gainesville Call: 404-754-5654 Hours: Noon to 8 p.m. Monday-Thursday, noon to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday and closed on Sunday. Breakfast is served from 7:30-10 a.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. taken quite well to the food truck, which recently became featured on season six of the Cooking Channel’s Carnival Eats series. Ordonez said the show high lighted his peanut butter pork doughnuts that were served at the Bacon and Bourbon Fest in Wel lington, Florida. Unlike the food truck, which only sells doughnuts, the Love is All You Knead shop serves a selection of rolled ice-cream, crepes, breakfast sandwiches and hot beverages. To customers who feel guilty about eating the sugary desserts, Ordonez likes to remind them that, “It’s fat free in the middle.” All of the store’s doughnuts are miniature and contain a cake bat ter base. Ordonez said the size and ingredients make the doughnuts lighter and the ideal size for one person. Each tray contains up to eight miniature doughnuts. With its maple syrup, bacon bits and powdered sugar, The Hang over currently takes the lead in the most popular doughnut com bination purchased at Love Is All You Knead. Ordonez said two other crowd doughnut favorites include his take on an apple pie and the salted caramel pretzel. With a plethora of other dessert businesses in Hall County, Ordonez said his shop’s freshness helps it stand out among the rest. Every dessert is made to order. “We don’t pre-make anything,” he said. “It’s a little wait, but it’s so well worth it because you’re going to get freshness on top of it. ” Ordonez, who also has a back ground in event planning, hopes to expand his influence beyond tasty treats. He is currently work ing with other businesses around the Gainesville Square to start a series of spring concerts and free movie nights for kids. “I’m not just doing this for me and my company, I’m doing this for the community,” he said. The amount of people that will come will benefit all the businesses around here.” For the future of Love Is All You Knead, Ordonez said he would love to open more shops and con tinue spreading the word about his sweet creations. “I want Love Is All You Knead to be a household name,” he said. “I want us in every city, either in kiosks in malls or storefronts. If people say Dunkin’ Donuts or Toll House, I want Love Is All You Knead in that as well.” Photos By KELSEY RICHARDSON I The Times Left: The bakery’s most popular combination is The Hangover, which includes doughnuts topped with maple syrup and thick bacon bits.

POLICE ■ Continued from 1C “In the ‘80s, early ‘90s for some of those areas, the residents were almost held hostage in their own homes, because there was a lot of drug use and things like that in the street... They put in those precincts in there (and it) really developed a part nership between us and the residents, and the community kind of helped curtail that,” he said. Kelly, White, Parrish and Martin were unsure of the reason why the housing proj ect precincts were shut down. Addressing the improve ments plan last week, Parrish said the goal for the patrol offices are “not even close” to the same thing as the former precincts. “Those spaces were more of offices for officers to go to. Our vision for the (Capital Improvements Element plan) is real police precincts. It would be a place that would be staffed by police person nel, both sworn and civilian. Every service that’s offered in (the Queen City Parkway) building would be offered at those buildings, if it comes to fruition. And that’s only if we continue to grow at the rate we’re growing and the expected growth within the (Capital Improvements Element) report,” he said.
