Randy's Donuts in Los Angeles

CROSSROAD CUISINE - My quest to find great local food when I'm on the road visiting my stores.

Randy's Donuts
805 West Manchester Avenue
Inglewood CA 90301

OK, you know the drill. You get up at 4 a.m. so you can be at JFK by 6 a.m. for your 7 a.m. flight to Los Angeles. Every time I swear I will never do that 7 a.m. flight again, but I know its really the best option. You land just after 1 pm your time but its still only 10 a.m. LA time. You need lunch, but its still breakfast in LA. Well I have the solution for you.

Head directly over to Randy's Donuts. The 32-foot donut adorning the roof of Randy’s—conveniently located literally 1 mile from the Hertz rental at LAX—is like a beacon calling out to hungry and weary travelers needing a sugary pick-me-up.

It's worth the trip just because the giant donut is so cool. If that's not enough, the donuts are really great. Personally I recommend the apple fritter. It's huge, delicious and packed with enough sugar to keep you going until dinner, but everything is really good.

It's a ritual for me now. I can't land in LAX without heading directly to Randy's. What did I do all those years before I discovered this hidden jewel?
