 OLD-SCHOOLStan's Donuts
This LA institution has been frying dough since 1965, and Stan himself still works behind the counter. His
oversize, sugary confections arrive individually wrapped in wax paper, like a box of cheeseburgers (and with
a similar calorie count). Try the famous Peanut Butter Donut—a chocolate chip-covered,
paw-sized monstrosity, with a thick patty of Reese's peanut butter hiding inside. Which is good, because
dunking into the peanut butter jar just gets messy.
 AS YOU LIKE ITSweetwater's Donut Mill
If you somehow can't find what you're looking for on Sweetwater's expansive menu, they
will—ingredients willing—create custom pastries to quiet your craving. They arrive plump and
gooey, each donut wrapped in cellophane—when the soft icing clings slightly to it, that's a fresh
donut. We suggest the yeast-raised New York Cheesecake Donut, or the Vanilla-Filled
Longjohn. Or as you like to call them: breakfast and dinner.
 STEALTH HEALTHHoley Donuts!
Chances are, your female acquaintances have already heard about this, but in case they're not the sharing
type, allow us to intervene: we've finally found the tasty, healthy donut. (Well, healthy-ish.) These aren't
fried, but prepared with a "special patented cooking process" (we hear it involves unicorn tears), and
contain no trans fats or artificial sweeteners. They're delivered flash-frozen in a cooler with dry
ice—just defrost, gorge, repeat.
