I Can’t Stop Thinking About the Doughnuts From ‘Somebody Somewhere’ | Eater

"In Manhattan, Kansas, this doughnut shop functions as a homing beacon for Sam (Bridget Everett) and her best friend Joel (Jeff Hiller): it’s where they go "when everything goes to shit, when they’re scared about the future, and when they’re celebrating their successes." The menu includes the Larry, "a twisted peanut butter doughnut doused in raspberry jam," along with maple logs and cinnamon twists — treats the writer describes as perfect to "drown their sorrows" or to "anxiously await bad news" while scarfing them. The shop’s repeated presence underscores the series’ use of food as comfort; when Sam asks Joel if he wants to "go fuck up some doughnuts," the line reads as a warm, communal invitation that pulls viewers into the show's intimate, midwestern world." - Amy McCarthy
