"It was 4 a.m. by the time chef Kimberly Camara finished transforming her New York City apartment into a makeshift bakery for Kora, her Filipino doughnut shop. She’d spent the last two days prepping dough, fillings, and glazes, and on this sleepy Friday last fall she pulled out folding tables stored underneath the couch and plugged in two small fryers. While she waited for the rest of her team to arrive—her mother, brother, and cousin—she and her partner, Kevin Borja, rolled and shaped the doughnuts on the folding tables. Altogether, they fried, glazed, and boxed about 500 doughnuts for customers to pick up." - ByJasmine Ting
