A doughnut burger–why hasn’t this been thought of before?! Well apparently it has been done, but (arguably) not as well as Sun Liquor Distillery’s delicious creation.

Seventeen years later, I revisited Germany on the
Georgetown in South Seattle now has a snazzy, rustic new cocktail bar/restaurant to hang out at! Located next door to the Ground Control coffee shop, Brass Tacks is a large new space complete with foosball and shuffleboard, and nice spaces for large groups to toss drinks back after work.
