Okay, y'all need to eat more donuts, you know what I'm saying? So, donut a day keep the doctor away. But, so, you know, you come through, I mean, I've been making donuts since forever. So I went into the Navy, you made donuts, then went to the culinary institute of a America, learned baking and pastry arts, and then came back to Atlanta and was looking for something to do and do my own. So you say you do donuts and pastry art, so it's like doughnuts is just one of the things of your number 12?

Well, bacon and pastry arts. So yeah, it's learned all baked goods, so I can make all the baked goods. Could you do a whole wedding cake? Yeah. I made out of doughnuts. We've done that, you know? That's put right out of my mind. I was just about to ask me, what's up with them?

You can bake a wedding cake? We've done that. I mean, wedding cake donuts are the thing now. That's the thing, them big walls of donuts, people would get up they wedding and put Donuts on wall and stuff. So, Dick, I'm an ordained minister, right? When I do some of these weddings, we're going to need some wedding cakes. Hey, you got, put me on the horn.

That's what I did. Now, you know, I remember a show that used to come on TV. Can't remember what the name of it was. How do you remember it? I remember the show. You know, the show came on Food Network. It was about the guys that baked the donuts and everything. It was a donut show.

I can't remember the name of it. With the little, like Italian-looking dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cake boss. Yeah, it's cake boss. Yeah, it's cake boss. Like, is that something. that you ever thought about getting into,

like just to be able to expand the business because black-owned doughnuts, that's a very exclusive thing. Yeah, yeah, I mean, we're trying, I mean, I'm trying to do all things to expand the business. I obviously want to open up more shops. We got two here in Atlanta. We got two in the Mercedes Ben Stadium, so you can come.

If you come to watch the Falcons play, you can do that. Hey, man, hold on, oh look. Well, that's what this whole platform is about. It's about highlighting and, you know, celebrating independent, black-owned business and just making strides in the business. Yeah, so we're trying to open up worldwide. I had a shop.

We had a shop in Bangkok for seven years. That's a T-shirt. We had a shop in Bangkok. Two prostitutes with donuts under the bank. And then you got a donut right there in the middle. What? Put a donut in between the leg, Nick. You should do it.

We should get us a donut shop. Yeah. Instead of donuts, we'll call it these nuts donuts. Yeah. A donut hole. You need some partners? You need some partners? I'm telling you,

I like it. You said the holes? No, I will say. We only sell whole donuts, okay? What'd you do with the holes? We eat the, we turn them in other things. We get donuts. We eat the holes.

That's another shirt. That's another shirt. We make donuts, we eat the holes, that's what it is. Man, I'm telling you. You're missing at least a hundred grand in donut holes a year. I mean, like, so after, you know,

It seems like you've already gained success, so, you know, what keeps you passionate? Is it the passion for actually baking, or is it the side of it that's the business that keeps you motivated? Yeah, I mean, it's just about trying to come up with other fun things. I mean, that's what, you know, coming up with new fun donuts, that's why, you know, I brought our secret menu, chicken and waffles donut for y'all to try. Coming up with crazy stuff like that, it's a chicken donut. We're dipping in waffle battered, put a little maple ice in. It's delicious, world's greatest donut.

But Bon Appetit. When you say it's a chicken donut, what is it? It's a chicken. So we take some chicken, we shred the chicken, okay? And then we mold it into a ring, then freeze it. And then we dip, make a waffle batter, dip it in the waffle batter. Then we fry it. So then it comes out like a perfect donut.

Obviously, you can see it. Where you put maple glaze. So that's all chicken. This is chicken right here. So you said the secret menu. From masquerading as a donut. Yeah, you got to come in and ask for it. What else on the secret menu?

Well, just that one right now. Until we do stuff, then if I do something, I put on a secret menu. menu come and ask the crew they know. You see, check us out on social media, on the Graham, you know what I'm saying, Facebook. I mean, the secret menu, how do people, how will people get this information?

Go check out our social medias and all that jazz, and you can find out all the fun shit we're doing. We're trying to do a lot of fun stuff. I'm getting on it right now. We've done lots of crazy things. I was really trying

to catch the vibe and and flow with y'all because I've done some stupid rap songs but I was like I can't freestyle so yeah let's do you know it ain't no rap song no it's all about donuts so you know I mean I mean I love it and the people love it but so we slowed down on it but yeah for like a year straight we'll do it let's put these donuts in your mouth girl I want to put my donuts in your mouth oh oh oh all on your mouth can I put these donuts in your mouth? Can I put these donuts in your girl donuts in your mouth put the donuts all up in the mouth set all up in your mouth now there's a little bit originally man I'm from Mayrata so I'm right here okay

and to make a quick glaze. If you want to make a quick glaze, you can take some sweet and condensed milk. So the jar of sweet and condensed milk, and I said that's in here. Take a jar of sweet and condensed milk. Put it in a pot of boiling water. Don't open it.

Just put it in the pot of boiling water, let it boil. Slow simmer like two, three hours. And then after you open up, the whole can will be caramelized. And you can make a little caramel donut. So there you go. Now, voila.

That's very interesting. So check it out. We got that in the book. Homemade Donuts at home. That's what it is. Is the book available on the website? Yes, not on our website. I've got to get organized.

But look at it on the Amazon's and the things of that nature. And come to the shop. We got it up there, you know. You do it all. You got the feelings. That's not something that, you know, you hear a lot of people that look like us doing donuts. You know, you hear a lot of fried chicken wings and, you know, soul food and all that. So what made you, what got you into baking as a black man from Marietta?

I just always love sweets and baked goods. I mean, I wish I had the confidence of y'all fellas because I always wanted to make people happy. So I was like, ooh, I want to do something to make people happy. If I was confident like y'all, it could be a comedian, but, you know, I'm not there. No, we locked in now, bro. We're not the next step under. I'm going to make baked goods and, you know, give it out to the people.

So try to make people happy, and that's what I like to do is make people happy, and donuts make people happy. So that's what we're about to do here. Tell all the fellas why they should start baking. You know, donuts, you know, and where if you got, you should figure out one recipe. Everybody should have one solid recipe that you can probably do by heart. And so when someone come over your house, come over the crib, you can just bang it out real quick. You're impressed.

You're like, wow, you really know how to cook. You only know one thing. How long you'd be with, like, when you were dealing with a chick, how long you'd be with before you bust out the baking skills on? You'd be like, girl, you didn't even know. I made you a croissant from scratch from the shit you had in your kitchen. Right, exactly. This got smoke coming off.

Come on. Make a bitch a ample Danish. You ain't never said before. Well, it depends, you know. It depends on the vibe. You got to fill out the vibe, you know. Because you don't want to go all in right away because then, you know, she'd come by the shop and stuff. Do something real, like, a little crimbley, like, you know.

Like crimbley. Yeah, I'm too bad. I'd have been to baked the bitch. My dick. Look, same size and everything. Look at that. Look at you think you had of that. But yeah, take that one and then catch the real way.

If I was a patient, all my food would be friggin. You're so sweet, made me breakfast in bed. Look at them pancakes. They got nuts on it. Dick-shaped pancakes. Hanging on the plate. See, man, that's the cool part about what you do, though, man. It's, you know, it's not something that's very popular.

So it's, I'm always like to, you know, encourage whoever's watching this, man. Don't always go with the flow. You could do something different. You could do something and then surprise people by your skill set if you get a new skill set. So this brother's an example of that. that. Yeah, that is true. I mean, there's lots of lanes. I mean, you hit on that first time where you was like not a lot of people do donuts. A lot of black business you see is wains or barbershops or something. I mean, that's all good. We love to support those. But, you know,

you can do other things. And I mean, it's telling in the shop. I mean, a lot of people have been open 12 years now and people still come in the shop and be like, oh, I didn't know it was black on. I think some of the people here was like, hold on. It was black on. Because we eat these all right. And it's like, you don't have to, you know, there's layers of being black. You know what I'm saying so you don't have to be one way monolithic is the word you don't have to be one way they think yeah they think yeah they think all black people are the same yeah but if you come in the shop you'll catch small black vibes i mean obviously the donuts is quality so it's nothing like oh this is a lemon pepper chicken donut you know what i'm saying but you'll hear the music you'll hear some

r and be like hold on what the fuck this is some deep cuts here you know what i'm saying you're like yeah you're like you want some don't like who owned this shop what y'all playing so yeah so what's out of all the donuts that you make, what would you say is your favorite of your back? Oh, man, I like them all. They're all my little babies, so I love them all. But the fresh strawberries and cream, my number one seller, so that's a winner. People love that one.

Cookies and cream is a top one, okay. That's a winner. You know, the honeyglaid cinnamon swirl. That's great. I know the Reese's peanut buttercups, and you've got a peanut allergy, but that one's A1, you know. Yeah, I'll never know. I like it. I just like a original glaze. Yeah, original glaze. Yeah, a hot donut, you know what I'm

saying? Ain't nothing like that. And I like the shit with the cinnamon and sugar on it too. Oh, yeah, yeah. I like the birthday cake ones, the ones that got the, you know, the sprinkling. That's the Homer Simpson, don't know. Yeah, yeah, the good ones.

Who been some of your best customers? In sitcoms, when someone has a problem, they just blurt it out and move on. Well, I lost my job and my parakeet is missing. How was your day? But the real world is different. Managing life's challenges can be overwhelming. So, what do we do?
