Tia’s Donuts: Sherman Oaks’ Farmer’s Market Bliss Report:

August 22nd, 2008 Written by: Jaime Lopez· No Comments

What’s the best way to eat a donut?

I prefer mine so fresh the dough disappears halfway down your throat. At the latest. When a donut achieves this miracle of Iust I think a meteor could crash down and I’d be like “damn, did see how hot and fresh these donuts are?”. Everyone would be running around screaming but I’d stand there looking down in the small white bag made blissfully heavy with the weight of warm dough and dip one hand in for a tease. Eyes heavy, fingers gone sticky with melted powdered sugar, I wouldn’t look up until the bag was empty.

Every Thursday, as I mentioned in a previous post, the new Sherman Oaks’ Farmer’s Market will give you one such chance to sample this amazing foodie-find: Tia’s Donuts.

Made on a contraption that looks like a miniature, medieval torture device (but a cute one!), the tiny would-be donuts cruise along a path to certain death. But with that quick fry they transform their “petite mort” into something even more heavenly then the name implies. These donuts barely made it past my lips before they dissolved into some ghostly warm vapor of remembered dough.

The stand also serves fresh-cut french fries made with an equally alarming, yet ingenious, device fashioned from an old power drill.  If that’s not enough to get you on your way to Sherman Oaks next thursday I dont’ know what is.

But go first for the donuts. $3 will get you a small, half-dozen bag with either powdered sugar or cinnamon-sugar topping in which to douse your troubles.   When the meteors start to rain down you wont’ have a clue, I swear.
