Like celebrating your birthday in more than one household, National Doughnut Day happens twice a year, but it’s during different months. First up is Friday, June 3 (the other lands on November 5) and there are plenty of places to score yourself a sweet one.
Read our article “Foodie 15: Guide to sweet spots for doughnuts (or donuts, whatever).”
Additionally, Cal’s Bakeshop is providing doughnuts for a couple of local parties happening at downtown’s The Monica and over at Thunder Bacon Burger Co. on Fourth Avenue.
Did you know that folks in the U.S. eat about 10 billion doughnuts a year? That’s about 31 per person. So, if you haven’t eaten that many yet this year, here’s your chance. This can be you.
National Doughnut Day at The Monica
Beginning at noon, The Monica will be giving away free doughnuts from Cal’s Bakeshop while supplies last. If you’ve had any of the sweet treats from the local bakeshop, you’ll know that these will likely roll off the shelf quickly — consider showing up early.
For more information, follow The Monica on Facebook.

Donut Happy Hour at Thunder Bacon Burger Co.
Beginning at 5 p.m., there’s a Happy Hour goin’ on at the burger joint. All you need to do is order a cold beer (or one at room temperature if you let it sit long enough) and you’ll get a free doughnut from Cal’s Bakeshop.
Grab one of the daunting burgers while you’re there, too. You won’t regret it.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
