June 2 is National Donut Day and while Boston does have some of the best donuts, there's actually a pretty interesting history behind how it all started 85 years ago.

"The significance of [National] Donut Day - which The Salvation Army brought to the world's attention - goes back to 1917, World War I," said Chef Joseph Watson, Program Manager for Croc Culinary Arts Program in Dorchester. In the kitchen, he's affectionately known as "Chef Joe."
