Randy's Donuts - Inglewood, CA

Even if you’ve never been to Randy’s Donuts, you’ve probably seen it before. A favorite location for movies and TV shows that want a background of extreme roadside kitsch, Randy’s is one of a couple of gigantic donuts that loom up in the L.A. area. The varieties of donut include the basic (and best) honey glazed regular, chocolate-covered, jelly-filled, powdered, frosted, and filled with crème.

"Chocolate-frosted donuts, hot from the fry kettle"

"Sugar clings to these puffy lovelies."

"While two or three donuts are suitable for breakfast, just one of these big buns is plenty."

I have never had a better tasting donut ever, period. The coconut raised donut is by far the best thing I’ve put into my mouth in a long time. I would drive across the country for another one of those.

"Believe every last word you hear about Randy’s; it’s that good. There is no hyperbole here. As far as I know and as far as I’m concerned this is the best donut in the world and until I find otherwise I will stand by that."

"The point of this kind of looming "vernacular architecture" is to provide early warning to the motorist that there's something good to eat up ahead. Unlike a billboard, which you have to read, Randy's gargantuan donut speaks for itself."
