Where  Griffith Park, Griffith Park's picnic area near Vermont Ave., Los Angeles, CA (map)
Admission  Open
Description 
There will be games. Silly costumes are always encouraged! So grab your bakers' dozen, your Zantac and your cholesterol medicine, because this — like all great political summits — is a BIG FUCKING DEAL and could make you hurl in the lap of the Chinese ambassador. From the brains behind last year's Hot Dog Death March, the inaugural Donut Summit promises to become an annual tradition, in the whimsically competitive style of such legendary food forums as the Cupcake Challenge and the Grilled Cheese Invitational. Delegates are invited to bring a cross section of deep-fried dough from their favorite vendors (or to make their own), with the tasty treats sampled and judged by all. Categories include "best fritter," "best glazed," "best vegan," and in a nod to creative ingenuity, "weirdest," proving there are few things more satisfying to the American appetite than a good old-fashioned donut — except maybe a maple, cream-filled, or bacon-laced one. Admission is free, but attendees are encouraged to bring between one and 12 donuts for the tastings. - Tanja M. Laden
