Serious Eats YouTube Playlist: Doughnuts

We're excited to announce that we're teaming up with YouTube to bring you original videos and curated playlists of our favorite YouTube videos three times a week over the next few months. Although we haven't shot any new videos yet, we made a doughnut-centric playlist to familiarize ourselves with the format (also, to give us an excuse to watch videos about doughnuts). If you have 30 minutes to spare, you can watch some of our favorite doughnut videos above—including Alton Brown's thoughts on doughnuts, a behind the scenes look at some of our favorite doughnut purveyors, and a recipe for beignets—or visit the playlist's page at YouTube. You can also subscribe to the Serious Eats channel to get updated about our new videos. More

Weekend Book Giveaway: Okie Dokie Donuts: Open for Business!

Recently released children's graphic novel Okie Dokie Donuts: Open for Business! by illustrator Chris Eliopoulos tells the story of a hard working doughnut shop owner who gets a little (un)help from a doughnut-making robot. Through Eliopoulos's wacky and dynamic illustrations, we find out that robots, as seemingly technologically advanced as they may be, can't compare to the skills of a doughnut-loving human. Score one for humans! More

Happy National Doughnut Day! 8 Recipes to Celebrate

How could we miss National Doughnut Day? Of course we wouldn't. The holiday is celebrated on the first Friday of June, a tradition created by the Salvation Army in 1938 to honor women who served doughnuts to soldiers returning home from World War I. While we've been known to celebrate doughnuts on many other days of the year, we have an extra special excuse today to channel our inner Homer Simpsons today. Here's a collection of our favorites: New Orleans beignets, cider doughnuts, and more. More

Ed Levine's Caloric Journey, Week 162: Vacation and Doughnuts Are Not a Righteous Path

Yesterday we had a doughnut tasting at SE World Headquarters. On a Thursday, no less. The day before my weigh-in. Now I know full well that doughnuts are not on the path to weight loss, or even weight control. Doughnuts are one of the big holes in my weight control game. But what would you do if you were confronted by an entire conference table filled with doughnuts? Well, I know what I did. I tasted a bunch then left the room. More

Video: Cambodian Refugees and the American Doughnut Dream

Anyone who's been to doughnut shops in Southern California may notice how many of them are owned by Cambodians. After fleeing the killing fields of the Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge, many Cambodian refugees ended up in SoCal and though an interesting set of circumstances, got into the dough-frying biz. In this video, we meet a family who owns a shop in the Los Angeles area. More

From the Road: Paula's Doughnuts in Buffalo, NY

If you were stopped on the corner of Englewood and Kenmore in Buffalo, New York, you might think to yourself, "I hope that cute place on the corner makes good doughnuts." As it happened, we had on the authority of a few SE'rs that Paula's Doughnuts did—and we're happy to report they were right.
