The Most Decadent Meat Doughnut Is Being Served On Ventura Boulevard

Can either Kobe beef or doughnuts be improved upon? Probably not. Those things are fine on a plate all on their own! But there is a strong desire to mash beautiful foods together to create frankenfoods that look cool on your Instagram, and that is how the Kobe Beef Filled Chili Donut came to be (probably).
The sweet & savory meat-doughnut is being served up at Boneyard Bistro on Ventura Blvd, where it was created by chef/owner Aaron Robins, who is known for his "eclectic bistro fare" and putting modern twists on childhood favorites. (He's also got “Bacon Building Blocks,” and fried mac n’ cheese on the menu.)

We requested a photo showing the inside of this beast—which will cost you $12—but it never came. What are you hiding, meat doughtnut?
Let's turn to Yelp—which can be counted on for honesty like 80% of the time?—for some reviews.
- "Inspired... They practically melt in your mouth." — Nicole Harmony C.
- "...to die for..." — Jon M.
- "Amazing...tasted even better than they sounded" — Chris T.
- "Just okay" — Frank M.
- "Amazeballs!!" — J H. [As you can tell from the outdated lingo, these things have been on the menu for a few years]
- "Passed out from vertigo" — Shaimoom N.
That last one doesn't even make sense. Or does it? Only one way to find out if pickles and beef and doughnut and cheese and chili and onions can give one vertigo...Boneyard Bistro is located at 13539 Ventura Blvd. in Sherman Oaks
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.
