At BLD, Every Doughnut Gets Their Day

Los Angeles might be the land of the doughnut shop, but in some fine dining restaurants, doughnuts are an elegant and delightful way to end a meal. For the past couple of years, National Doughnut Day was celebrated on June 3rd at Neal Fraser's Grace. Now, in its stead, Fraser's other eatery, BLD, is picking up the torch frying oil, and is offering a special Doughnut Day Flight next Friday.BLD's Pastry Chef Mariah Swan and Chef de Cuisine Diana Stavaridis have collaborated on the Doughnut Flight, which is big enough to share with a dining companion. The doughnuts are a play on some of BLD's most beloved regular dishes. Last year LAist's Christine Ziemba checked out a Bourbon and Doughnut pairing event at Grace, and enjoyed the treats and experience.
On the National Doughnut Day BLD Doughnut Flight:
Blueberry Ricotta Doughnut with Maple Syrup Drizzle
BBQ Pulled Pork Doughnut
Manchego and Crispy Prosciutto Fritter
Banana Cream Pie Doughnut
The celebration begins at 5pm on Friday, June 3rd. Due to the popularity of this event, dinner reservations are strongly recommended. For more information, or to make reservations, call BLD at (323)930-9744.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
