Kelly Brewer started Bigmouth Donut Company
in 2017 with the idea that donuts are much better when made with real
ingredients, instead of premade mixes and preservative-enhanced fillings
and glazes. To this day, Bigmouth has kept that promise, which also
includes a heavy variety of Gluten-Free and Vegan options daily.
Bigmouth's flagship store is in Rocky River, although they are known
throughout Cleveland through a large variety of events and markets that
they attend. Brewer's background is in tourism, and he loves all things
Cleveland. He knows what tastes good and has a strong, seasoned team
around him, including his daughter Brooke, who truly makes the magic
happen overnight. The goal of Bigmouth is always to create delicious
treats that people want to eat, while honoring the classic donuts that
he and others grew up with.&nbsp;

Rudolph Valentino’s career was on the rise when he was cast as the lead in this adaptation of Vicente Blasco Ibañez’s novel Blood and Sand. A critical and commercial success, Blood and Sand became one of the highest-grossing movies of 1922. (Just four years later, Valentino would be dead of a perforated ulcer, shocking the film community.) Valentino plays Juan Gallardo, a celebrated bullfighter torn between his love for Carmen, his childhood sweetheart (Lila Lee), and the seductive Doña Sol (Nita Naldi). Valentino and Naldi give some of the most memorable performances of their respective careers.
