That's a fair trade, hike all day and get donuts.
We need to have a PuristS event and go hiking! I haven't been hiking for nearly years since my Boy Scout days.
After a stimulating hike, a visit to the local diner for such a dessert would be in order.
These donuts/desserts look fantastic and surprisingly complicated.
Climb a mountain...get a donut!
I have had an activity-filled weekend! As many of you saw in an earlier post, I went hiking yesterday. Well, it's a good thing I did, because my friends and I indulged in dessert at a local diner. I'm a huge foodie, and always looking for new places to tr...
Oh Yeah, Pop Rocks!
Anyone remember this urban myth: Don't eat Pop Rocks and drink soda at the same time or you're going to explode! I gotta hang out with you on a weekend Daos, seems like you have way too much fun. Bacon doughnut? Hmm...... I usually don't hangout in downto...
I love Sushi Go 55!
It's always a fun place to hang out. The bacon donut at Nickel Diner was awesome, but wait until my next experiment -- bacon cinnamon rolls! Jed found some article about people making them, and forwarded it to me because he knows I love bacon (and anythin...
If that's the case then you must go to....
If you like bacon, then you must go to a hole-in-the-wall joint called Lou's, north of Melrose Ave on Vine. They have a appetizer called 'Pig Candy' which is a rock sugar coated pieces of bacon. Good stuff! -MW
Sounds good!
I'll have to check out Lou's! I make a similar item by sprinkling brown sugar on bacon, but rock sugar sounds much fancier. Yum! Daos
Is it really true?
Thanks Daos, I'll have to check out the Nickel Diner for desserts on my next trip to downtown LA. I've always wondered about the myth with the pop rocks and if it's really true that your head will explode if you eat pop rocks and drink soda at the same ti...
I have eaten Pop Rocks while drinking Diet Coke...
...and as far as I can tell, my head is still on my shoulders! No cranial explosions here! This urban myth? Busted by yours truly! LOL! Daos
Daredevil…
The early Dave Cronenberg film, “Scanners” (1981) immediately comes to ‘mind’. Obviously a misspent youth with plenty of bad movies thrown in. OK we need a thread on B-grade movies that are so bad, they’re good! A...
It would be tough for me to choose just one...
...B-movie. I tend to really enjoy those kinds of films. Perhaps that says something about my low-brow nature! Cronenberg has directed some crrrrazy (I don't mean bad, just bizarre) movies (the aforementioned Scanners and Videodrome); some films I have ou...
OooOOoOo.....a sweeth tooth's heaven!
I would love to try that salt peanute cake! Slurp, Anthony
Read a recent LA Times review that talked about that bacon donut
Awesome pictures you took! I want one now!

Bacon Donut? Wow.
How can Texas BBQ and Tex Mex compete with that? I think I could learn to really like LA even though the Lakers beat the Rockets. JerryW
Leaving basketball aside...
...there's more to like about LA than I originally thought when I transplanted here 8 years ago. I still miss home, but I enjoy the diversity of people, places, and ideas that seem to coalesce here. The near-constant sunshine and bacon donuts also help! C...
Hope to
visit for a GTG in the near future. Will be in Lake Tahoe in a few weeks, unfortunatally it is a quick trip for business.
Doughnut Review
I had lunch at the Nickel Diner today. I've been eager to go there since I read your post. The bacon studded maple glazed doughnut sounded intriguing. Now, I am somewhat of a doughnut aficionado. I probably even qualify as an expert. Unfortunately, the on...
FYI, I'm a fan of Krispy Kreme! Yummy!
We should have a L.A. PuristS foodie run to Krispy Kreme!!!!! -MW
Count me in!
I'll be having one (or more) of the following flavors: original, custard-filled (NOT to be confused with the whipped cream filled), sour cream, and/or cheesecake flavor. Hmm...maybe after I'm done with work I will go by the Burbank KK... *salivating* Daos
Krispy Kreme Original for me!
Just a plain Krispy Kreme for me! Make sure the Hot light is on for a fresh batch of doughnuts! -MW
Please make a bacon Krispy Kreme!
That would be the BEST! Although, my waistline will not be thanking you! Krispy Kreme + bacon=heaven. BTW, Glickman, have you seen this use of the Krispy Kreme doughnut below? Krispy Kreme Cheeseburger (courtesy of Flikr) My cousin sent this photo to me o...
