#4 Donuts —My favorite desert.

These delicious pastries have a long, glorious and often fictional past. While today Krispy Kreme is all the rage, I tend to lean toward local donut brands. The luxurious chocolate frosted at Du-par's in the Farmers Market make a great desert after a stuffing my self on gumbo or barbecue. My convenience donut comes from Daily Donuts which is apparently a haunt of Leo DiCaprio and his many stalkers.

Unsubstantiated Los Angeles folklore attributes the absence of Dunkin Donuts and the hundreds of Asian owned donut shops in our town to a triad conspiracy.
