0:06
series where I go around to Southern
0:09
California eating establishments that
0:12
are currently opened with a small a
0:15
strict Asterix a strict for take-out
0:20
drive-through or walk up not sit down
0:26
today I'm heading to Inglewood I'm
0:29
inviting you to join me shall you as
0:34
always in these recent days bringing my
0:36
bag of accessories you'll notice the
0:39
throw blanket is not with me that's a
0:41
play it by ear where I'm gonna eat
0:42
because I don't know if there's gonna be
0:44
an accessible park nearby but I do have
0:48
the folding reclining chair rockers the
0:52
back of my vehicle just in case big the
0:55
foot was just mentioning I might be able
0:57
to take the carpool lane with them in
0:58
here it's a little I don't know if
1:01
that's aI don't know if that's legit or
1:03
not but
1:04
and to stay on this thing
1:17
I have arrived there's one sign there
1:17
but a larger beacon of sorts is right
1:22
back there kind of slightly almost I was
1:26
standing a little TT that way would be
1:29
obscured by this one the closer I get to
1:33
this donut the larger 30-something feet
1:36
I believe that thing is you can see the
1:39
drive through is filling up that is an
1:43
immense circular item goodness gracious
1:51
almost almost good enough to eat
1:54
beckoning those off the freeway very
1:57
close to LAX next to the airport in fact
2:00
you can see this from plane flights into
2:02
a light it has been quite a while since
2:04
I have been to this establishment and
2:08
I'm certain the passengers on that
2:10
airliner might be looking down with a
2:13
tad bit of jealousy or at least saying
2:18
what the heck that's one big donut this
2:23
iconic landmark has been used in more
2:26
television commercials TV shows music
2:30
videos and feature films than one could
2:34
shake a stick at in fact Iron Man
2:37
himself was sitting right up in the
2:39
center of that thing
2:45
from from what I recall stated here
2:45
world-famous since 1962 as best I can
2:51
recollect from what I read Randy's the
2:54
name come from one of the former owners
2:57
his son from this perspective the space
3:01
shuttle Endeavour cruised by and quite
3:05
the congregation of folks were gathered
3:07
here there are some photos from this
3:11
angle of it
3:13
driving down Manchester which runs
3:15
parallel to this to this picture a
3:17
full-size space shuttle cruising down
3:20
the the Avenue thankfully the rain as I
3:23
was driving in subsided just a bit still
3:26
overcast but stopped sprinkling walk
3:29
just across to the corner of La Cienega
3:33
I never know how to pronounce that I'm
3:35
you know I'm not a I'm not a native of
3:38
this area so some of the some of the
3:40
road names I mispronounce that's on the
3:41
corner of La Cienega
3:45
and Manchester a very busy intersection
3:55
and they are doing takeout orders as
3:55
well as drive-through which means I'm
3:57
gonna walk up get myself probably a
4:00
dozen of these never can have too many
4:02
he takes them home with me for later
4:27
if you were to make a list of you know a
4:27
list of item structures around this area
4:30
it's a probably be in the top 10 maybe
4:34
20 maybe even maybe even top 5 that you
4:37
would recognize from Greater Los Angeles
4:39
I don't know if it's a fact but it's
4:42
just everyone knows the doughnut it's
4:45
been spoofed it's been utilized it's
4:46
been recreated many times but this is
4:49
the original the ultra large doughnut
4:52
hole and donut that surrounds the
4:54
doughnut hole there is a visual menu
4:56
there on the window probably just gonna
4:59
get an assortment they might actually
5:01
just give a full dozen but I'm gonna
5:04
pick and choose until I have 12 they
5:06
even get a baker's dozen which is 13
5:09
although 13 of something that size would
5:12
not fit in my car and almost make out
5:15
the the pictured menu go in just a tiny
5:20
bit closer there
5:23
that's tough to tell I need to I need to
5:26
be up on it and see it with my own eyes
5:28
but you can tell there is a massive
5:31
assortment of products of the sweet
5:36
persuasion
5:38
circular form you may get a coffee to
5:41
use a little caffeine
5:43
alright there are mixed dozens I might
5:45
go for the mix dozen number three four
5:48
sixteen fifty six classics for deluxe
5:50
and two premium that's what I'm gonna do
5:52
I'm just gonna have them fill the box
5:55
Vegas bloomin down

6:17
another transportation device their
6:19

6:23
a doesn't mix and match I'm just gonna
6:26

6:48

6:56
classic some mugs down here that are
6:59
pretty neat I have enough coffee coffee
7:01
mugs as it is but that's it's a nice
7:03
little to go time
7:11
Kathy coming up next they were they were
7:11
out of the t-shirt design that I wanted
7:13
so no t-shirt today basically I'm just
7:15
gonna hang out here and do a little
7:17
tailgating well not in this bot I'm
7:20
gonna go over to my vehicle
7:31
I thought I could get that entire thing
7:31
in the frame of the shot
7:45
not a bad view from where I will be
7:45
perching a van just pulled up with an
7:47
American flag painted on the side
7:51
and the time has reared its head this is
7:58
what let's get the napkins out of there
8:02
this is what we're dealing with okay I
8:08
believe it was four okay
8:11
maybe it was six I think it was six
8:14
basic whether the the the normal ones
8:18
and then for premium and then two of the
8:23
extra special premium I'm just I'm kind
8:26
of just like talking off the rails here
8:28
is I cannot remember what the menu said
8:30
but nonetheless one two three four five
8:33
six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve
8:35
and oh yes the baker's dozen has been
8:39
completed with thirteen I got a recount
8:42
those six on this side this chunky
8:44
filled it looks like maybe some is that
8:47
Oreo I think that's Oreo on there makes
8:50
12 and that one makes 13 I'm gonna have
8:53
some leftovers for a while this glaze
8:56
right here looks rather tasty which one
9:00
do I go with you know that's oh my
9:03
goodness that one I don't know I might
9:06
just go with the standard I'm just gonna
9:07
go with this this is good for now I
9:11
think this works yeah this is happening
9:15
I really should reiterate this is not
9:17
what I normally will eat very rarely
9:21
will I consume a lot of sweets if I'm at
9:23
a theme park you know I'll get a treat
9:26
like that but I I really most things
9:30
that are eaten by myself are in the form
9:33
of food
9:36
not that this isn't food but you know
9:37
I'm saying I'm going out
9:48
Oh mark
10:00
the rare times that I do
10:13
there's a little cream in there too I'm
10:13
not the need that needest eater I'm a
10:16
little bit messy you see some of the
10:18
remnants
10:18
there's drop down there through the
10:20
concrete you know what I'm going for it
10:22
I'll have eleven has left over so I'm
10:26
gonna go with one more and have my
10:28
second one here in my personal own solo
10:32
tailgate party at Randy's this is
10:36
happening
10:36
look it's just all over my tips of my
10:38
fingers some sugar intake overload
10:51
pretty good where's the other one a
10:51
little better probably cuts cream-filled
10:54
pretty good too
11:00
as best I can tell this is like a little
11:00
substation where they store some of the
11:04
extra and they cook some of the dumb
11:05
maybe they cook them in there and then
11:08
they transport them over to there
11:11
when I first approached I first walked
11:14
up I didn't think this was quite
11:16
operational but now you see people
11:18
coming in and out of there
11:28
and when the door was open you could see
11:28
there were racks and racks of freshly
11:29
made delicious doughnuts but there goes
11:32
another plane
11:41
whoo that is it for me for now oh man
11:41
maybe this amount may have been a little
11:45
too much having trouble putting the top
11:47
backer back on ER this these will last
11:50
me a while says they are open 24 hours
11:54
they don't close and the employee when
11:57
he went into the the storage section
11:59
tried to see if he had the t-shirt
12:01
design I wanted
12:07
took a little longer than I think he or
12:07
I expected and I forgot to reiterate
12:10
that I needed cream or sugar in my
12:13
coffee so I'm drinking this sans cream
12:16
or sugar which I don't do too often so
12:20
I'm going I'm going with just the
12:22
straight-up coffee with no other no
12:26
other additives
12:31
and I can tell that the heat is
12:31
permeating through the cup of plastic
12:33
paper cup
12:35
this is piping leak toasty
12:43
all that's warm and there's not a lot of
12:43
sweetness huh
12:45
but it kind of works because I have so
12:47
much sweetness from the tube doughnuts
12:49
that I hate that's hot
12:55
that's good slice a nice combo
12:59
as I still have some sugary residue all
13:05
of my mouth so it kind of makes its own
13:07
sweetener the coffee
13:15
that's gonna do it for today if you're
13:15

13:18
