The Donut Man - Glendora

It's a good thing I went for a jog this morning. You should too if you're gonna indulge like this. I've got my brother hooked on reading Jonathan Gold's food reviews. If you don't know who he is, Gold is the LA Weekly's resident food critic, who recently won a Pulitzer, the only food critic to receive such an honor. I trust him for his knowledge of the San Gabriel Valley's Chinese restaurants, but he's been spot on about other locations as well. So after reading this review of The Donut Man's strawberry-stuffed glazed doughnuts, my brother tried it out and liked it so much he took me. The Donut Man resides in Glendora on the old historic Route 66 that spanned across the country. You can see the "fresh strawbeery donuts" sign right when you drive up. It's just a walk-up window with doughnuts on both sides. My brother said I could get any doughnut I wished. But who was he kidding, I'm going for the stuffed strawberry glazed ginormous doughnut. See it in the upper left corner? I had to wait an hour before I could taste it. An hour! We were loading up my car with my boxspring mattress on top and the long sofa upturned, legs removed, and me squished forward with my knees touching the dash, the back rest all the way down, twisted sideways because my shoulder was wedged between the sofa, while driving on local roads the long, long way to my new place. Oh man, was I salivating by the time I got the box open. Just look at it. I don't think I need to say anything else. :P Oh, yeah, this was $2.50. I also noticed the box said "peach donuts." When is peach season? Because I am so there! The Donut Man 915 E. Route 66 Glendora, CA 91740 626-335-9111 P.S. Ignore the rest of this post if you're only here for the food. Incidentally, any of my blogging buddies need to shape up too? I've got an important family wedding (not mine!) in 8 weeks. It'll be a big family reunion and I want to take lots of pictures so I need to lose weight. I am so out of shape. :( I only jogged/walked 1.5 miles at the park this morning. Man, I wish I had the energy of a child. They take any opportunity to run. And not the paced jog of people running for exercise. Children run with their arms flailing, or head bent forward, arms straight back, forward to the wind with all their might. Me? I'm jogging/walking, but more on pace with the elderly. Anyway, I'm just going to put in little notes at the bottom of each post reminding myself of how much I did each day so I make myself accountable. Just ignore if you wish. I ran 7 miles last week! 3 miles outdoors, 4 miles on elliptical. Today was 1.5 miles outdoors. Yay me. Yes, encouragement would be lovely. :)
