The thrill of a well-loved SoCal institution paying a photo-fun and flavorful homage to another major source of local pride is a real one, but it isn’t something that occurs as often as we’d like.

But as July 2022 ends Randy’s Donuts is serving its celebrated sweets with a side of piquant Peppers. Make that the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the legendary Los Angeles band that is, oh yes, scoring its own limited-edition Randy’s treat.

The Red Hot Donut is available for purchase through July 31 at the original Inglewood location, but as you queue up for this quintessentially LA goodie, be sure to look up: The rooftop Randy’s doughnut, seen in films like “Iron Man,” in the background of Space Shuttle Endeavour’s Los Angeles arrival, and oodles of famous photographs, is wearing its Red Hot best, courtesy of a large-scale wrapping, one that pays tribute to the band.
