Randy's Donut Part 0.4

I've heard of the legendary Randy's Donuts for years. This little tiny donut stand off a freeway with a gigantic donut on top. It was even parodied in the Monorail episode of the Simpsons. What I never realized, is that I've passed it countless times without ever seeing it before.

ITS RIGHT OFF THE SIDE OF THE 405. And true to the stories, its just a little tiny stand with a gigantic donut on top. I just had to get me a donut. So I picked up a bear claw and a regular chocolate donut. It was good. It didn't make me proclaim them to be the best donuts ever, but they were good. I dunno, I guess I just have very descerning tastes. It takes something special to wow me. But I loved the giant donut. It was really cool.



Ratings:
Location: 3/5 - It needs to be more visible off the 405. I never saw it until now. Parking is a little rough too.
Price: 4/5 - I don't normally shop for donuts so its hard to guage whether the prices were good, but they didn't hurt my wallet much so I'll give it a 4.
Taste: 3/5 - Delicious, but it didn't wow me. They were donuts, just donuts.
Atmosphere: 3/5 - No place to eat. They really push the touristy aspect of it too. Selling T-shirts, hats, etc.
Total: 13/20 - I was kinda disappointed. Besides the giant donut on top, it wasn't very interesting.
