Donut Alert: Glendora's Donut Man Now Serving Fresh Peach
()
With Labor Day on the horizon and baking pumpkins showing up at some local farmers markets, it means that summer is about to come to a close. But Glendora's Donut Man is bringing one last hurrah via their famous fresh peach donuts, which just arrived on Friday.
Food fans from far and wide travel to Jim Nakano's establishment to get a nibble of his signature fried treats piled high with fresh strawberries and peaches. Despite the lines and the hype, Nastassia Johnson, blogger of all things sweet in L.A., wasn't so keen, and we have to agree. Perhaps we are just tortured by our high school years working at Marie Callender's, where we had to spoon gobs of high fructose-laden syrup over "fresh" peach and strawberry pies. The stone fruit was never quite ripe, and it was just a big old goopy mess. Johnson and I are definitely in the minority though, and regardless of our personal opinions, Donut Man is an L.A. institution.
These babies are only around for a few weeks, so be sure to get 'em while they're fresh. And then get ready to start braising. Fall is just around the corner, and quite frankly, we're ready for it.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
