So you’re home alone and bored, watching yet another Simpsons re-run.  Even though you are carb conscious, deep down inside you’re a fatty and you refuse to accept the fact that every time you see food on TV (even if it’s animated) your mouth waters.  Don’t even try to deny it, we all know it’s impossible to resist, especially with Homer Simpson’s mouth watering donuts. Whether you’re into sweets or not, donuts are always a good option for breakfast or just a snack. Healthy? Of course not! Yummy? Hell yes! So what to do when you’re fed up with your everyday shenanigans and you feel like pigging out to some sweet stuff and committing a joyful sin called gluttony?  

Drive Thru

Okay, so the last thing you want to do is drive around, right?  That’s where you’re wrong.  Yes, gas is expensive and traffic is a b!tch, but when you’re bored the first thing you must do is get your lazy arse off the couch and into your car.  When in doubt, just drive around.  No matter where you’re at, find your way to the nearest freeway and jump in towards LA.  Everything is so close you’ll be either too blind or suffer from the Jessica Simpson disorder to miss a landmark... they’re literally everywhere.

Homer Simpson Paradise

Si eres comedor compulsive or you just enjoy your sweets a bit too much, go donut hunting--- yes, Krispy Kreme, Dunkin’ Donuts, and Winchell’s are the shiz, BUT you haven’t experienced donuts in L.A. until you’ve gone through Randy’s and The Donut Hole.

Giant Donuts

There aren't many big donuts still standing -- in fact, maybe just these two in California, unsurprisingly revered by googie-eyed shutterbugs and pop culture pundits. What's nice about the attractions is that they continue to operate exclusively as doughnut bakeries, where you can still grab a bag of honey-glazed, jelly-filled happiness. 
Randy's Donuts features is a destination with Hollywood star status. It appears over and over as movie backdrop or in obliquely angled atmospheric LA montages.  To get directions and check out their doughnut menu go  to www.randys-donuts.com

The Biggest Hole In Town

No, we’re not talking about Ryan Seacrest here, but about The Donut Hole in none other than San Gabriel Valley’s La Puente.   The Donut Hole is more immersive for the car-bound than Randy’s, since you can actually drive throught its brown double-dunker portal.  It’s also a darling of film location scouts.  You’ll find The Donut Hole at 15300 E. Amar Rd. in La Puente.
