During the 60s my dad's friend worked there . He told my dad that he would spit in each donut. Maybe that's why they are world famous? Extra special ingredient, saliva?
Yaaaaaas! Memories of my childhood. I was born right down the street from the Griffith observatory and I remember Randy's donuts as the best father daughter days out. Great video adam💗
Fond memories of regular trips to Randy's my late wife and I made while attending Pepperdine College during the early 60's. We were so regularly at the walk up or drive through, the workers would fill our order without our having to place a 'regular' order. After getting our treats we would drive to Manchester and Sepulveda, on the west side of LAX, park and watch the planes land. Last summer, I was able to treat our oldest daughter to a Randy's donut prior to our trip to Seattle. Great memories of fun times!
Following yr last video visit to Randy's, I made a visit when I visited from England last year. Yeah, they were amazing and it felt like a real true American experience. This video brings it all back. ☺😚
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the notification!!!! I was sooooooo hoping you’d go there😀 Thanks for the video 👍 The Oreo one looked mighty tasty 😋 🤤
I remember back in the late 60s begging my dad to please take us there for donuts. Another iconic sign would be Circus Liquor Store. I'm sure you have seen it on Burbank Boulevard. I glad the BIG Donut Is still there. Stay Safe.
Just seeing your, friendly visage brightens my day immensely. Thanks Adam.That Donut franchise has been around exactly as long as I have. Coincidence? I think not.😉
You are awesome with these videos you have been making these recently days I know it's been crazy lately but your videos always make these days alot more brighter. My dad is from Watts Los Angeles.and I miss California alot thank you for your videos Much love to you Adam!! - Nyesha
As always, entertaining and fun. Your in-depth analysis of the coffee without sugar was hilarious! Your videos of LA keep me connected to the city 15 years after I left California. Keep it up!
Thanks Adam this was the first day of my fast...yep did eat a thing so I can lose a few lbs. well at least it was a good test of my will. Yep never saw you daily but it sure has been good.
The donuts looked amazing!! I pretty much drink my coffee black that way I get the full flavor of it!! Enjoying seeing you out and about supporting your eateries!! Thanks Adam!!
Love Randy’s! I stopped there for the first time last March while out in California and then went back last November while back in California for a Disneyland trip. My son kept the box as a souvenir.
I’m trying to be like you now and live in the moment and enjoy life. I’ve been in this town for almost five years and have done nothing but work. I’ll get out and explore. Thank you and Big the foot 🦶
When you were drinking the coffee, that is exactly how I drink it! Black with sweets and Sweetened with savory! This video made me crave donuts SO bad! Looks delicious!
Hi Adam, those Randy’s Donuts are the most delicious donuts 🍩 I have ever had. I went to the one on El segundo with a friend last year. I bought 4 donuts one for me 4 for my friend to take home. I sure miss going to a real great donut shop like Randy’s glad you enjoyed your donuts and fresh coffee👍🏻😷☕️😺
Lived in So Cal my entire life. Born in Inglewood. Always wanted to try Randy’s since I was a wee kid. My parents drove us by it ALL THE TIME to visit our grandparents at Holy Cross Cemetery, but refused to ever stop for donuts. Now we’re relocating to Tennessee. Told the hubby we need to drive to LA first, so I can finally indulge and get a hoodie.
Drove past there many a time when living in Hawthorne. For a while, the big donut had some “frosting” on top... courtesy of the local pigeon population! 😀. You pronounced La Cienega perfectly. 👍🏻
My grandfather and step-grandmother lived a bit further west of Randy's and I always knew when driving to visit them with my mom as a young teen that we were getting closer to their house when we passed the giant donut! It's pretty iconic!!!! I loved all the publicity when the Space Shuttle went by them.
I love Randy's donuts. I get some every time I go to LAX - great video as always!!!...and now you made me want to drive over there, but I'm still too spooked to leave my house yet.
Now you are in my old neighborhood. Randy's Donuts I miss them. Grew up on them well not on them but eating them. It makes my heart ache now that I'm living in Massachusetts and so far away from my home. And yes you pronounced La Cienega correctly. Good job. Thank you for bringing back such good memories.
I'm so glad that Randy's managed to stay open for business in some capacity or another throughout the shutdown. It is truly an L.A. icon. People who have never even been to L.A. or to Randy's have probably seen photos or videos of the giant doughnut. Another iconic L.A. location -- the Original Farmers Market & 3rd & Fairfax (which includes Bob's Doughnuts) -- has managed to stay open as well. I wish Stan's Donuts -- which was a fixture in Westwood for 55 years -- had been able to stay afloat, but they permanently closed down due to what's been going on. Speaking of iconic places to eat in L.A. ... I wonder why Pink's Hot Dogs has not reopened yet (at least I don't think they have, but I could be wrong). They were never even offering delivery or curbside pick-up over the last 2 months, which I found surprising because people would have certainly given them their money. They just stopped all operations at the original La Brea location.
@@TheDailyWoo -- Even The Apple Pan stayed open in some form or another over the last couple of months, which surprised me. So the fact that Pink's -- as popular as it is -- just shut down all operations and didn't get into the curbside pick-up game is curious, indeed!
I remember my first time to LA on my way to Tulare, CA. and being from the south (3 hours from Gatlinburg) I was a tad bit on edge because my GPS was not working. I ended up at that intersection on accident and looked to my left and saw the huge donut and immediately FREAKED out because being a Iron Man fan I recognized it!! I didn't have time to relish in the moment before the light turned green. This was such a awesome video to see. I wanna come back! Will you visit Pink's Hot Dog place in LA? I went there, but the line was soooo long. I waited, but couldn't stay. Great view of the Hollywood sign in the distance.
The donuts looked awesome. Adam, I had to go out to LA for business and ate at a place called Howlin' Ray's Nashville hot chicken. It's not as iconic as these spots you've taken us, but if you ever have the chance you should try it. Thanks for the great foodie vlogs.
The excitement I felt when I saw the plane approaching the giant donut hole at 11:20:00 was surpassed only by the disappointment I felt that Adam didn't see it until it was too late to appreciate.
That's how I drink my coffee...BLACK! It is nice to have a nice premium roast coffee black with a sweet or semi-sweet something to eat, good combo there!
Adam you rock what a great vlog Randy’s Donuts 🍩 is still one of the best and the three donuts i really like are bear claw and the buttermilk donut and the apple fritter so thanks so much for a fantastic trip to Randy’s Donuts 🍩 and with that I’ll see you on the next vlog adventure
Good ole Randy’s. Haven’t been there in many years now. I was a corporate pilot and found myself in LAX many times over the years, and sometimes for extended periods of time. I alway made my way there and enjoyed many donuts over the years. After seeing them again, I want some. Hey. Is Pinky’s hot dogs open? Another classic LA eating establishment.
I grew up in the San Fernando Valley during the 1950's-1970! The big donut was a daily hot spot for those of us who walked to school and shopped in the downtown area of North Hollywood. It had a different name in those days. which I cannot recall, but I have the fat cells to prove that I ate far too many of those sugary treats growing up in the Valley! The Helm's Bakery Truck was a regular on the weekends and we would run out in our PJ's to get those hot buns off the truck! We also had milk, egg & butter delivery from Manfull Dairy Farms and later The Roger Jessup Company took over deliveries to the SFV! Great memories WOO! Chocolate or butterscotch eclairs and jelly filled donuts were my favorites. Then there were those french twists covered in sugar sugar sugar & more sugar! Edit- Inglewood was the place where we went to go to the horse races @ Hollywood Park! Edit2- Dunk a sugary donut into that hot coffee & it's a treat of it's own!
You should do a series doing fameous la mom and pop restaurants or businesses like the magic castle lol love the videos any ways but just saying helping mom n pop businesses right now would be a huge help have a good day brotha!
Agreed! Adam would rock as a local/famous eatery guide! I loved his takes on Pink's and now Randy's. I'd love to see others like perhaps Tam O'Shanter, which was one of Walt Disney's regular restaurants. Or perhaps Adam has filled that? I can't recall. But if he hasn't, it would be a great review! We ate there a few years ago during our Disneyland/LA visit and sat at Walt's table. Great place!
@@JoshuaDomoslai Oh man, I went to Phillipe's a few weeks ago. It felt like I was in some kind of dystopia. Normally Alameda and Caeser Chavez is like one of the busiest intersections ever. This day that I went, I could have shot a line of canons down the street and not hit anybody. I'm used to having to be on that intersection for at least twenty minutes - sometimes more - whenever I'm go to Phillipe's because that's just how bad traffic gets. But that day? Nothing. It was wild, it was scary. The only reason I knew it was real is because that sandwich was perfect like they always are.
