A Conversation with Jennie and Jessica from DKs Donuts and Bakery

Asian American History 101

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 28! One reason we do the mid-week conversation series is because we love talking to people about a topic we want to dig into more deeply. In honor of National Donut Day and to provide more depth to the previous episode on The History of Cambodian Doughnut Shops, we had a chance to talk to Jessica Ly Chau and Jennie Fou Lee, cousins and two of the owners of DKs Donuts and Bakery in Santa Monica, CA. DKs is one of the most popular doughnut shops in Southern California, and in this conversation, Jessica and Jennie share what it was like returning to the doughnut business, some of the challenges in running a doughnut shop, some of the memories they’ve had over the years, and their hopes for the future. Enjoy some doughnuts and this conversation!
