Seasonal, Regional Foods That You Crave

In February it'll be strawberry donut season again. I'm talking about the famous California institution down in Glendora near LA, The Donut Man. The Donut Man has been serving up much-praised donuts for close to 50 years, and still at its sole location. People have been known to drive hundreds of miles just to get donuts (open 24 hours a day) from The Donut Man. But they really go insane from Feb-Sep a.k.a. strawberry donut season. Seriously these donuts are so good that it's worth it to spend extra 2 hours at the gym beforehand just to stuff my face with them. I always make a trip there when I'm in proximity to LA.

When I visited a friend out in Michigan a few years ago, it was the height of cherry season there, and I'd never had so many wonderful cherry pies and cherry desserts. What are some of the seasonal, regional foods that you look forward to every year?

Traverse City, MI is known as the Cherry Capital of the World. If you were visiting your friend in that area you surely did see cherries at every turn. They've got their big Cherry Festival that goes on for a week. I grew up in that area and miss it so much. The natural beauty of the lakes plus the great food and wine is something most people know nothing about.

I look forward to strawberry season the most. Anyone in Michigan starts the late spring with asparagus then it goes on from there to strawberries, cherries, peaches, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, apricots and then sweet corn in August. In fall it's the apple crops. I miss Michigan a lot!

I love that citrus is still available everywhere on trees in southern California right now.
