I just wanted to thank Joe and Harry for these videos recently. My dad is in palliative care and these videos have been a real comfort and a small source of joy in my day
I love Joe and Harry. I'm always impressed with how Harry talks about food. You can tell he's got a lot of food knowledge. He doesn't flaunt it though. I loved how he called out the late 17th century origin by knowing how the word was spelled. Impressive. Smart guy. I'm just grateful they don't use words like mouthfeel and maillard reaction.
I saw "donuts" and "LA" and immediately thought of Iron Man eating a donut inside the Randy's giant donut. As an MCU fan, I was so drawn that I specifically asked for our friend in LA to drive us out to Inglewood for it.
>> not living in the USA And there are multiple levels. I recently visited east Texas (from Colorado) and was astounded by the number of donut shops. I saw tens of shops in relatively small towns.
I still remember that strawberry donut from Donut Man after more than three decades. It should be a must visit in strawberry season to any LA traveler.
In these angry and divisive times, this is the bromance we didn't know we needed. Would love to see Joe take Harry to the Shady Maples mega-buffet in Pennsylvania Dutch country.
My dad used to stop by Krispy Kreme on his way home on Friday from work that was the day they got all their returns that they didn’t sell from the stores and he would get 7 pies and 48 donuts we had the donuts each day laying on the table on a napkin for our afterschool snack before mom got home from work. She was a school bus driver so of course we got home much sooner than she did and then we would get the pie each day and cut it into five pieces cause there were five of us in the family for our dessert after dinner were the good old days I’m going to be 70 in July. I want 70 donuts to make a doughnut birthday cake for all my friends and family to celebrate my birthday.
Watching Joe and Harry stuff the entire glazed doughnut in their mouths just made my day!! Their commentary is always entertaining and this is my favorite "Finding the Best..." episode to date 🤗
10:05 that strawberry donut looks amazing. Also when I was a kid my grandfather brought donuts from the local donut shop so much when we were visiting my cousins that my cousin who was 3 at the time asked when "the donut man" was coming back.
These two guys have such a grounding, comforting presence and they make me laugh; endlessly enjoyable to watch. Those plain glazed doughnuts - sometimes that's all one really needs. I'd love for Joe and Harry to try the Amish-made ones here in rural Maine (yep, there's Amish in Maine!). You could eat 10 of them in a sitting they're so heavenly light. Cooked in lard and glazed with the lightest sugar glaze. Truly delightful.
Yay what a great episode. They all looked yummy. Can't believe how many bites Harry took of each doughnut. I have a sugar rush just from watching. Love this series.
Glazed doughnuts existed way before Krispy Kreme in the UK… in Scotland they do long twisted ones called ‘Yum Yums’. A doughnut is usually called a ‘Gravy Ring’ where I grew up… in Northern Ireland. We have really good bakeries in Belfast.
California Donuts in Ktown is where it's at. I had them for the first time in college and no donut place compares in texture and flavor. The matcha and plane glaze are heavenly!
Keep these episodes coming! I love this series so so SO much! Joe and Harry have a chemistry and charisma like none other! Also I hope you guys bring back Nikhil too!
I grew up going to Dad's Donuts. They are so nice and the quality is amazing. They also make great breakfast sandwiches and a big selection of drinks. If you're in LA, head over to Burbank and support them!
So glad you went to REAL DONUT SHOPS! I worked in a Bakery that produced over 500 dozen glazed donuts in a day, that actually made and fried them by hand back in the 70's.
That strawberry donut looked so good. Reminds me of the fresh strawberry pies my mom & I used to get from Nation's Burger Joint. They were amazing! 🍓🍓🍓
16:32 In Dutch we actually call it ‘oliebol’, which would translate as oil ball. They also have something similar in South Africa which it is named ‘vetkoek’ in Afrikaans, this would translate as oil cookie.
I was a donut maker years ago and can tell you that all of these donuts come from a 50lb bag mix, just add yeast and water. Harry, I can also tell you that the oiliness of the donut was from it being over-proved .
@raveninnsbruck9166 do you talk to people like that in real life or just online? Greggs ice ring doughnuts are better than Krispy Kreme. They have far better texture and flavour and are cheaper. Despite being mass produced they feel more real than the weird fake Krispy Kreme doughnuts available in the UK. The same goes for Dunkin Donuts too. They feel cheap and light.
Having lived in CA for 17 years, but being from Chicago, Joe calling them long johns is a reflection of his Chicago heritage. While everyone else in CA likes to cause confusion by calling them the name of a candy bar
East Coaster here. I have never heard of a doughnut called a Long John. Weird. Loved the guys laughing together like school boys! Made me laugh! I wish they could have compared cream filled doughnuts - maybe next time.
In the south, they were definitely called long John’s but I feel like it was an older term, because eclair is far more common now. Though I don’t know if long John’s are filled like eclairs are.
FYI, guys, Jim the Donut Man uses potato flour to make his donuts, and whenever Elvis Presley was in town, he'd send his bodyguards to the Donut Man for donuts. And, yes, their Tiger Tail donuts are incredible! Great show - gotta try these other donut shops now! You should also try Donut Friend and Fonuts - also great donuts!
Those strawberry doughnuts from Donut Man are amazing. My daughter is not a doughnut person, and she ate a whole one. (She used a knife and fork to eat it.). I’m definitely going to have to try these other doughnut shops on this list. Awesome video.
Morrisons in the UK have godlike custard donuts. this episode is making me hungry. need a trip to Tim Hortons for some Tim Bits, buy 50, bring them home and put them in the air fryer 🤦♂️🥰😭😍
I worked in a bakery in the 80s and we had glazed ring doughnuts back then. They also used to make the jam doughnuts fresh in-store every day - double jam not dipped in sugar ftw.
Tiger tails are amazing. I live in Sacramento California and they had tiger tails in Shingle Springs California when I was a kid. A few places around here have them. It is a glazed donut and chocolate donut wrapped together. It's amazing.
Anyone else notice that at The Donut Hole he ordered two Maple Bars but got Chocolate Bars instead? I guess he didn’t mind. I do love watching their videos.
I'd really like to visit LA one day and see those Cambodian owned shops. On the other side of the atlantic, Cambodians who fled to France have mostly opened Chinese takeaway shops and restaurants
Donut Man’s strawberry donut is delicious. Randy’s Donuts in Downey is a classic though. Sidecar Donuts is good too down here in OC and The Donuttery in Huntington Beach is known for their tiger tails
No way there is a new episode after only 4 days!! I‘m so glad! Even today I was looking at this channel and thinking, will they release a new episode today? Well no, because the last one was only 4 days ago, but here we are 😃
California Donuts located on Hollywood Blvd and the 101 freeway tucked by the 7/11 is literally the best donuts in town. It's unpretentious, not glamours, no bells and whistles, but a small, mom and pop shop where they turn our the most incredible glazed, cake with sprinkle, and one of a kind donuts (snickers inside the donut!? Try one with a Reeces Peanut Butter cup!) And the most incredible bacon, egg and cheese breakfast sandwhich (get it on their onion or everything bagel) is something straight out of perfection. Dunkin could never. Winchells...please. This place will blow your mind, all wrapped up in the perfect pink box...and don't worry, they have vegan options!!!! You gotta try them.
Randy's. Always thought it was a tourist trap, then I tried them and they are the best in LA. Apple fritter is done in the middle and not burnt at the edges. They also have a long john with bacon. Yum
I was a baker for 10 years and used to enjoy timing my break for when the doughnuts were only just ready. Either jam or custard but warm and just sugared. I enjoy a Krispy Kreme breakfast occasionally and especially when visiting coffee-loving friends of mine.
Just discovering this series and loving it! Love Harry and his balance to Joe’s brashness. Love Joe too, but would love to see more screen time of him being a nice “food sharing” partner. It APPEARS from the edit that he always takes the choice cut and never serves Harry. The food looks great but we want to see the camaraderie too! ❤
I so enjoy watching you guys! What next? Paris? I think finding the best bistrot would be great - because you guys would love it. Then Mexico City and Buenos Aires. And Madrid. And Rome. I like a doughnut but not that much.

Joe and Harry. Literally carrying Insider Food for years
100% I don't watch anything else on this channel
Wait, there are other things on this chanel?
Their shoulders and delts must be jacked.
I was gonna say. If either of them left who would watch the channel in the end?
Same here. Only watch them on this channel.
I just wanted to thank Joe and Harry for these videos recently. My dad is in palliative care and these videos have been a real comfort and a small source of joy in my day
I’m sorry you’re having to go through that. I’ve been there, and agree that occasional distractions are definitely needed.
My thoughts are with you and your family! 🙏
Thoughts are with you all
Thinking of you. Hope you find the grace and more, more, more strength to go through what you are going through. 🪷
Joe and Harry are the main reason why I'm subscribed to this channel
Only reason for me.
Same. Sometimes I change it with the others lol. And the strawberry donuts and them trying to eat them lmao! Too funny
its the only reason IMO
This husband and wife combo are killer
Me too!

Harry spitting his coffee out made my day
Because your life sucks 😔
He got me too 😅☕️
And the "...drinking my scalding hot coffee" comment a few minutes later had me dying 😂

7:58 from there
I see these two legends and I click.

I saw "donuts" and "LA" and immediately thought of Iron Man eating a donut inside the Randy's giant donut. As an MCU fan, I was so drawn that I specifically asked for our friend in LA to drive us out to Inglewood for it.
As a obese person who love donuts, not living in the USA is probably the only reason I'm still alive... those looks fantastic...
Wow. You need to do long-term fasting, intermittent fasting, or the carnivore diet!
>> not living in the USA
And there are multiple levels. I recently visited east Texas (from Colorado) and was astounded by the number of donut shops. I saw tens of shops in relatively small towns.

I for one would like to see that. How does it compare with the Las Vegas buffets I’ve heard so much about?
Yup, that and the Bacchanal at Caesars Palace
Oooo buffet episode!
Smorgasbord?!
Great idea!!!!
4:05 "Perpetual Coffee" "It's got the flavor of this coffee and also the 40 coffees that came before it" LOL!!!

thats such a wholesome thing!
Omg wow 😢😢😢😢😢😢 I love your story!
Wait a sec… you had pie and donuts EVERY DAY?! 😯
So glad they highlighted a buttermilk bar. Not many places make them anymore, and they are my favorite donut.
I grew up around the corner from the Donut Man in Glendora.... It's a must stop every time I go back to visit!
Those strawberry fruit donuts would go amazingly well with a giant scoop of vanilla ice cream.
I was just thinking the same thing 😂😂
Or real whipped cream, kind of like strawberry shortcake except in a doughnut.
Whipped cream for sure!
Never change this duo i rate them highly
Just give these guys unlimited plane tickets and money and have them travel the world and taste things!! One of the best foodie duos on youtube!
7:57 That was an impeccably timed spit take. 😆
17:57 Those cakey chocolate donuts! Now we're talking! My favourite with a cup of coffee!
Watching Joe and Harry stuff the entire glazed doughnut in their mouths just made my day!! Their commentary is always entertaining and this is my favorite "Finding the Best..." episode to date 🤗

Completely agreed, it's like sitting in a conversation you're in as well
the donut tour should be a series - i am sure plenty of people could watch a few more donut episodes :) harry and joe have great chemistry and humour
I love these blokes. Their chemistry is so good. Just 2 guys eating food. Love to see it
Their conversation between eating is so refreshing and so real. Love it
I definitely called them "Long Johns" (the donuts and the pants) growing up in the Midwest in the 80's.
from the south.
ive heard eclairs be called long johns
Same! 80s in Illinois and Indiana.
Canadian here. They're called Long Johns :D
Me too but long johns exclusively had maple frosting. Those are still my favorite. Now most people call them maple bars I think.
Long John’s here in Michigan have filling..I didn’t think the ones in the first segment had filling?
I'm a simple man: I see Joe and Harry and I immediately click and watch. Best duo on YT right now, the vibes are immaculate.
I am grateful you started this series. No matter what's going on in my day, things get better when I see a new posting I get to watch after work.
Yay what a great episode. They all looked yummy. Can't believe how many bites Harry took of each doughnut. I have a sugar rush just from watching. Love this series.

Yeah I'm surprised the UK guy never mentioned it once, it's called yum yums, the American version looks much bigger though
@@Brian64512 😂😂
@@HUYI1 i think our yumyum would be a kruller over there?
sampled a few gravy rings in my time nih
California Donuts in Ktown is where it's at. I had them for the first time in college and no donut place compares in texture and flavor. The matcha and plane glaze are heavenly!
Joe and Harry hit the vocabulary hard with this one! And as a long-time doughnut-shoving-in-the-mouther, this gives me validation.
Keep these episodes coming! I love this series so so SO much! Joe and Harry have a chemistry and charisma like none other! Also I hope you guys bring back Nikhil too!

AWESOME!! Keep the series going, we love it!!!!
I can vouch the strawberry from donut man is the greatest donut of all time
So I think we didn’t really have glazed doughnuts in the UK but we DID have Yumyums, signature from cooplands bakery. So good.
Greggs have been doing them for ages, better than krispy kreme too.
@@diskopartizan0850Nothing Greggs do is better than anything lil bro 💀 Greggs is greasy cattle feed.

Signs of a good donut shop in Southern California:
- Cambodian owned
- pink boxes
- cops eating there
🤙

Chicago, Joe calling them long johns is a reflection of his Chicago heritage. While everyone else in CA likes to cause confusion by calling them the name of a candy bar
Later in summer Donut Man does fresh peach donuts that are soooooooo good.
Yum!😋
I think Joe should try different supermarket meal deals in the uk for Food Tours 😂
Hands down, favorite episode!!!
13:13 “Oh YEAH” has me dying, reminds me of my grandpa😂 10/10 reaction
Next time on Insider Food: Harry takes Joe on a tour of Blackpool seaside doughnuts?
0:15 in Seattle, we don't call them long johns, we call them "bars"
I would call those "Strawberry Shortcake Donuts-Just missing a dap of whipped cream ! Yum! 😊 👍
Yes, a lack of cream there.

This pair needs to maintain their energy with doughnut calories so they can keep carrying the channel!
Nice to see someone spell Doughnut correctly.
Donut Man! My Favorite
Great episode, Love maple bars and the Tiger tails
Used to live 5 minutes walking distance from Donut Man. I miss the early walks there for the strawberry donuts when I was a kid
The sugar high, crash, caffeine buzz is so real 😂
After the first lot of doughnuts I think I would just collapse from all the sugar, I'm not used to eating that amount of sugar at once
Glad you went to good old school Cambodian donut shop. Too bad that place doesn't have the pink boxes though.
Those strawberry doughnuts from Donut Man are amazing. My daughter is not a doughnut person, and she ate a whole one. (She used a knife and fork to eat it.). I’m definitely going to have to try these other doughnut shops on this list.
Awesome video.
$25 for 8 donuts is robbery. Love this series but the prices are getting out of hand
THE 1 I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR 🍩 🍩 🍩
Love you guys for this 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
I’d walk past all those donut shops all day long for a bag of crisps. But when Joe and Harry talk donuts, all of a sudden they seem interesting!
I love these men so much. Endlessly entertaining.
Joe and Harry are the best. ❤❤❤
I'm 63 from Canada...it will always be a long john :)
Yessss!
Joe and Harry make me smile. They are great together.

New to your vids but the guy with white hair truly loves his job and made me watch the whole thing. Great job!
Great episode, as an LA native been to three of these donut shops except for donut hole and primo’s donut. But Randy’s is still my go to shop.
You guys are awesome together. When is the next UK visit?
You boys are so sweet. For the next WEEK!
Tiger tails are amazing. I live in Sacramento California and they had tiger tails in Shingle Springs California when I was a kid. A few places around here have them. It is a glazed donut and chocolate donut wrapped together. It's amazing.

im gonna go to LA this weekend for my vacation. ill be sure to visit the donut shops on the videos. thank you for sharing!
I been going to donut man for almost 20 years. I never knew you would do this series. They have one in LA now.
Boston cream is my most favourite donuts so jelly filled is a close second and glaze
Apple fritters and maple.
I'd really like to visit LA one day and see those Cambodian owned shops. On the other side of the atlantic, Cambodians who fled to France have mostly opened Chinese takeaway shops and restaurants
