I've been a baker since I was in high school. Don't nobody believe you because you ain't fat. Most bakers had a big... No that's a myth. That's a myth. That's a myth. Big vegetable is trying to trick y'all. You don't need to eat more donuts. Donut or they keep the doctor away. So come through. I've been making donuts since forever. So I went into the Navy. Made donuts. Went to the Color Institute of America. Learned baking and pastry arts. Came back to Atlanta and was looking for something to do. Do my own. So you say you do donuts and pastry art. So it's like donuts are just one of the things. Well baking and pastry art. Learned all baked goods. Could you do a whole wedding cake? Made out of donuts. We've done that. I was about to ask. You can bake a wedding cake. We've done that. Wedding cake donuts are the thing now. Big walls of donuts. I'm an ordained minister. When I do some of these weddings we're going to need some wedding cakes. He got put me on the horn. I remember a show that used to come on TV. I can't remember what the name of it was. How do you remember it then? I remember the show. You know the show that 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 Italian look. Cake boss. Is that something that you ever thought about getting into? Just to be able to expand the business because it's black on donuts. That's a very exclusive thing. Yeah. Trying to do all things expand the business. We want to open up more shops. We've got two here in Atlanta. We've got two in the Mercedes-Benz stadium. If you're coming to watch the Falcons play, you can do that. That's what this whole platform is about. It's about highlighting and celebrating independent black-owned business and just making strides in the business world. We're trying to open up worldwide. We had a shop in Bangkok for seven years. That's a t-shirt. Bangkok. Two prostitutes with donuts on the thing. And then you've got a donut right there in the middle. What? Put a donut in between the legs. You should do it. We should get us a donut shop. Instead of donuts, we'll call it D's and that's donuts. What? A donut hole. Do you need some partners? I'm telling you this. You said a hole? No, we only said a whole donut. We eat the hole. We eat the hole. That's another shirt. That's another shirt. We make donuts, we eat the holes. That's what it is. You mentioned at least 100 grand in donut holes. It seems like you've already gained success. 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? It's just about trying to come up with other fun things. That's what... Coming up with new fun donuts, that's why 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 dip it in waffle batter, fried it, put a little maple icing. It's delicious, world's greatest donut. Bon appetit. When you say it's a chicken donut, what is it? If you hold it into a ring, then freeze it. Then we dip it in the waffle batter. Then we fry it. Then it comes out like a perfect donut. Put maple glaze. This is chicken. Masquerading as a donut. You gotta come in and ask for it. What else on the secret menu? Until we do stuff, if I do something on the secret menu, come in and ask the crew. Check us out on social media, the secret menu. How will people get this information? You gotta check us out. Sublime Donuts, you can check out sublimedonuts.com. Check out our social medias and all that jazz. You can find out all the fun shit we're doing. We're trying to do a lot of fun stuff. We've done lots of crazy things. I was really trying to catch the vibe and flow with y'all because I've done some stupid rap songs, but I was like, I can't freestyle. You done some stupid rap songs? No. Well, it's all about donuts. I mean, I love it. And the people love it. 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. Ow. I wanna put my donuts in your mouth. Ow. Can I put these donuts in your mouth, girl? Donuts in your mouth. Put the donuts all up in your mouth. Put the donuts all up in your mouth. Put the donuts all up in your mouth. Put the donuts all up in your mouth. Now, what do you grow originally, man? I'm from Mayreta. Mayreta. Okay, up 75. Cobb County. Let me ask you this, because it's a lot of ghetto children that watch our show. Could you give us some inside game and tell them how they can make a donut in their career? Yeah, yeah. You see how I'm leaning into this shit? I got a bag over there. Can we get that bag? Yeah, we need the cookbook. We need the book bag. Real quick, give us a ghetto at Home Donut. The easiest at Home Donut, so easy. If you want to make it at Home Donut, you can take the canned biscuits, take a bottle cap, take out the whole fry it, to make a quick glaze. If you want to make a quick glaze, you can take some sweetened condensed milk, so the jar of sweetened condensed milk, and I said that's in here, the jar of sweetened 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 check it out, we got that in the book, Homemade Donuts at Home. That's what it is. It's a website. Not on our website, I got to get organized. Look at all the Amazons and the things of that nature. Come to the shop, we got it up there. You do it all, you got the feelings. That's not something that you hear a lot of people that look like us doing donuts. You hear a lot of fried chicken wings, soul food and all that. So what made you, what got you into baking as a black man from Marietta? I just always loved sweets and baked goods. 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 I'm not there. One of the next steps, I'm good. I'm going to make baked goods and give it out to the people. Try to make people happy and that's what I like to do. Make people happy and donuts make people happy, so that's what we're about to do. Tell all the fellas why they should start making. You know, donuts, 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 to your house, come over to crib, you can just bang it out real quick. You'll impress, you'll be like, wow, you really know how to cook. You only know one thing. How long you be dealing with a chick? How long you be with me before you bust out the baking skills on me? You'll 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. Come on. Make a bit of Apple Danish. Right, since you ain't never seen it before. Well, it depends, you know, it depends on the vibe. You got to cut out the vibe, you know. Because you don't want to go all in right away because then, you know, you should come by the shop and stuff. Do something real light, a little crimby light. Yeah, you know. Yeah, I'm real mad. I'd have been a baker, bitch, my dick. Look, check this out. All my food have been frigged. You so sweet made me breakfast in bed. Look at them pancakes. They got nuts on them. Dick shaped pancakes. Hanging on the plate. 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 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 surprise people by your skill set if you get a new skill set. So this brother's an example of 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 his wings or barber shops or something. I mean, that's all good. We love to support those. But, you know, you can do other things. 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 owned. I think some of the people here was like, hold on, it was black owned. You know, there's layers of being black, you know what I'm saying? So you don't have to be one way. You don't have to be one way. 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&B playing. You'll be like, hold on. This is some deep cuts here, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, you're coming in Luther Vandross playing. They're like, who owned this shop? What's y'all playing? So what's out of all the donuts that you make, what would you say is your favorite of your batch? Oh, man, I like them all. They're all my little babies. So I love them all. But the fresh strawberries and cream are number one seller. So that's the winner. People love that one. Cookies and cream is the top one. That's the winner. The Honey Glaze Cinnamon Twirl, that's great. I know the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and you got a peanut allergy, but that one's A1. Yeah, I'll never know. It's just like original glaze. Yeah, original glaze. Hot donuts, you know what I'm saying? Ain't nothing like that. And I like the cinnamon and sugar on it, too. Oh, yeah. I like the birthday cake ones. The ones that got the sprinkle on them. That's the homosimson donuts. Who's been some of your best customers? Just everybody. I mean, everybody comes to support me. Since we've been around, obviously, we open up 24 hours. So we'll get, in the morning time, people going to the office. Workplace in midday. People will come by just to get a quick break before they go home and want to get a donut or two. Then later at night, people come taking people on dates and stuff. And then since we open the middle of the night, you'll get people work third shift or leaving the club or leaving something and they'll take donuts home for their family to eat at breakfast. You know, a lot of people trying to go with the healthy eating right now. Y'all got something weird, though? Oh, they're drinking donuts. So sick of them people. They tell you every day, we got donuts. We got all the stuff in our donuts, man. Treat yourself. Don't cheat yourself. That's what I tell you. That's what it is. That's what it is, man. We appreciate you coming and putting us down on the donut game, man. I appreciate y'all having me. Let them know where they can find you in all that good shit. We got the book. You don't know about the 85%ers, man. They definitely be into all this type of stuff. 85%ers come through. How about the show? I mean, y'all, y'all are worldwide. Y'all know. Everybody know about y'all. Stop playing. I mean, y'all stop playing. Everybody know, man. I got to come get me some donuts, man. Come to the little donut shop. We got one. If you're here in Atlanta, we got one on Tim Street and another one on North Druitt Hills. And if you come to an event that's at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, we got two down on the field level concourses. So on either side of the 50-yard line and come check us out. Make sure this is said on the show. I don't even know if this is the right way for that. But listen to this, bro. You just heard about this. White chocolate Ganesh feeling. Ganesh? Ganesh. Ganesh. Told you. Ganesh. Ganesh. Ganesh. That's why I said it. It's like a... It was just like a fudgy chocolate fudge. So sort of chocolate, creamy fudge melting in your mouth. Yeah, that's what it is. And that's major, man. You said that already. But how did you come get plugged in with the Falcons? Yeah, man. I mean, when they were building out the new stadium, you know, they wanted to support Atlanta businesses, put a lot of local Atlanta stuff in there. So they were looking at stuff. And I think this guy from the Falcons came through the donut shop. We were chopping it up. He was telling me I was building it out and looking for business. He was like, hey, I want to think about doing a donut shop. I was like, where the fucking donut shop? I'm your guy. We can do that. You know, he went through it and worked out. So it works out for both of us. I don't know if you know this, but after we aired this, there's going to be a lot of law enforcement pulling up on them. Because they watched the show, too. We love them. Unbeknownst. Unbeknownst. They keep in tabs. You don't have to have that Ganesh one. Yeah, man. Come through. Everybody can come through. Donuts for everybody, okay?
