Randy's Donuts by Glen Nason

An L.A. architectural landmark.

A culinary and architectural landmark.

A prime example of the "mimic"-style novelty architecture popular in Los Angeles in the postwar era.

In truth, I'd never been to Randy's, even when I was going to Kings at The Great Western Forum. We arrived at Randy's with a good two hours to spare before it could be considered panic time at the airport, but we had to wait in line for fifteen minutes before our turn came. The line itself was always about ten people deep (there is one walk up window) and the drive-thru windows were easily backed up onto Manchester Blvd. They seemed understaffed for a Sunday morning, even though it was going on ten AM.
