Info from Wiki

Randy's Donuts is a bakery and landmark building in Inglewood, California, near Los Angeles International Airport, in a style that dates to a period in the early 20th century that saw a proliferation of programmatic architecture throughout Southern California. This style had its heyday from the mid-1920s to the mid-1930s. By the 1950s however, the trend of designing structures in the shape of the product sold there had changed to focus on signs rather than architecture itself. Randy's is represented by a giant doughnut on the roof of an otherwise ordinary drive-in that is a dedicated doughnut bakery. The building was designed by Henry J. Goodwin.

There are actually two different sized doughnuts. Most locations used a 32 1/5 ft (9.8 meters) -diameter version that straddles the building and is aimed at the intersection. In Roadside Giant by Brian and Sarah Butko, the Weintraubs climbed on top of the doughnut with a tape measure and confirmed this for the authors. The Bellflower and Reseda locations, however, feature a small version of the doughnut on a pole out in front the building. This may be 23 feet (7 meters) in diameter, as is widely reported.

The 24-hour drive-in is at 805 West Manchester Boulevard where it intersects with La Cienega Boulevard, and is near the Manchester Boulevard off-ramp of the San Diego Freeway (I-405).

The shop's exterior has made numerous television and film appearances, including Arrested Development, Masked Rider, Entourage, The Golden Child, Get Shorty, Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles, Californication, Earth Girls Are Easy, Iron Man 2, Dope, 2012 and the pilot episode of The Bernie Mac Show as well as the Music

History
Randy's was built in 1953 (and first appears in the 1954 edition phone book) as the second location of the now-defunct Big Donut Drive-In chain by Russell C. Wendell, a doughnut machine salesman. There were 10 locations, built over the course of the 1950s. At least four other Big Donuts survive: they are Kindle's Donuts in unincorporated Westmont (this is the original location, built in 1950), the Donut King II in Gardena, Dale's Donuts in Compton, and Bellflower Bagels in Bellflower. Each features the distinctive giant doughnut constructed of rolled steel bars covered with gunite, a material used in swimming pools. Five Big Donuts have been demolished. They were located in Culver City, North Hollywood, Inglewood (on Imperial Hwy, 7), Van Nuys and Reseda.

In the 1970s Wendell sold off the individual stores to concentrate on his Pup 'N' Taco chain (which he sold to Taco Bell in 1984). Robert Eskow purchased the Manchester and Normandie locations in 1976 and named them "Randy's Donuts and Sandwiches" after his son. In 1977 a baker named Gary Kindle purchased the store on Normandie, which is still operating under the name Kindle's Donuts. In 1978, brothers Ron and Larry Weintraub, cousins to the Eskows, purchased the Randy's on Manchester and kept the name. Recently, they decided to retire, and sold the business to Mark Kelegian (reportedly for US$2 million), who is expanding the brand by opening a branch in the Westfield Century City Mall.

Similar to the Big Donut chain is The Donut Hole of La Puente, California, the last of a chain of five stores featuring two 26-foot-diameter (7.9 m) drive-through fiberglass donuts on either side of a small bakery building. A number of Angel Food Donut stores in Long Beach also feature over-sized doughnuts; these appear to have been manufactured out of metal duct work.

I think that big doughnut on the roof is just a tire that fell off an airplane trying to land... ;)

[TheRealjmc]

Mars Attacks has Randys Donuts. Also Randy's Donuts is down the street from LAX it takes like 20 to 30 minutes from there to the airport

I remember first seeing it in Randy Newman’s ‘I love L.A.’ music video from the ‘80’s.🍩

[wellardsmith]

I was thinking about visiting this joint, when I visit from England next year. But now I’m put off... the risk of gun shots, being mugged and drug dealing... Your video just confirms how dangerous your country is...
I’m now nervous about coming to America for a holiday.

[kenlizotte]

Wow! Adam the Woo & Ken Domik??!! LOL

[PastaSausta]

Best Randy’s donut is the maple bacon and the red velvet. It’s seriously the best donut shop and it’s not expensive. The fresh ones are absolutely the best.

"You found a bone?" Hilarious AND a missed opportunity for an "Oh la la!"

[mrdomino]

I looove Randy's! Can't get enough. Always the best dough!

[smurphtaz]

Iron Man and Dope are the two movies I saw the doughnut in. Also the space shuttle Endeavour's last stop was at Randy's Doughnuts!

[rmannayr]

OMG ADAM THE WOO?! I never thought I would ever see Adam on a Food Review Channel!

[mealex]

"TOP=TIP" If you buy good doughnuts and can't get round to eat them till they are past best microwave each one for 5 seconds b4 you your going to eat it they will be as goowie and fresh as day you bought them. Won't help if they have fresh cream in or on but any icing is fine.

[davelabadie]

Omg. I'm coming to Randy's for fresh looking doughnuts!! That glazed one I'd share with my wife and boy easily. We have these fresh guys called Nigh Time Doughnuts.. They sale you a dozen, you get thirteen. I didn't throw any away. I usually can't eat more than two in a day but if the dough is fresh and not frozen, you can enjoy it more. I love your reviews, thanks.
