Today is Wednesday.
The middle of the work week.
The day when the rest of the work week is starting to catch up with you, but you can’t quite see the light at the end of the tunnel or the finish line just yet.
On days like these sometimes you need a little pick-me-up to brighten your day and to get you one more day closer to the weekend – a Philadelphia 76ers playoff home opener weekend, mind you!
And that is just what happened today at the WMGK studios!
My buddy, Jimmy Sutcliffe of Live Nation, dropped off some special surprise treats from one of the best dining establishments in the city, in honor of the legendary comedian, actor, musician, writer, producer, director, and all of the above being in town on Friday – Adam Sandler.
Jimmy stopped by with a few boxes of donuts from Federal Donuts!
Now, this would be a treat regardless of the occasion, but these donuts are even cooler than normal!
The donuts he dropped off today are a special variation of donut called, the Hustle, inspired by Sandler’s performance in the movie, Hustle, which had several scenes filmed at the Wells Fargo Center, where Adam will be performing on Friday, April 14th.
Anytime Sandler comes to town, you know it will be a hard ticket to come by because his shows are always highly-anticipated!
Per the press release, “The Hustle donut is a classic spiced cake donut with cherry water ice glaze and a pretzel glaze drizzle, designed to look like a basketball.”
Trust me, it looked amazing and tasted even better!
Can it get more Philly than cherry water ice and a pretzel?
I think not!
Especially as the summer approaches!
By the way, Adam Sandler was not the only person to make an appearance in the movie, Hustle!
I actually did too as my voice was used toward the end of the movie!
That movie is the gift that keeps on giving now with these fantastic donuts inspired by the film.
Not only were the donuts a treat, but it is always great to see Jimmy!
I actually ran into him at a Sixers game earlier in the year with his wife, Angela, and we snagged a picture at center court!
If you are lucky enough to be going to see Adam Sandler’s performance on Friday, enjoy!
And if you are stopping by Federal Donuts anytime soon, consider grabbing the Hustle donut…
Or a dozen!
