He sets off with his friends Andrew and Lauren to sample some Californian donuts, before meeting up with Emily Taing. Tang is behind Pink Box Stories (@pinkboxstories) on Instagram and educates David about the origins of the donut\u2019s famous pink boxes, and the importance of America\u2019s mom-and-pop donuts stores. David then sets his sights on the big East Coast chain - Dunkin\u2019 - meeting with their president Scott Murphy, and one of their franchisees Sue Andrade.
