The BBQ Yeti Burger
If the Jetsons’ hometown of Orbit City were located in the Pacific Northwest, the Doug Fir would likely be the space-age family’s go-to hangout. The inside of the bar-slash-restaurant-slash-concert venue looks like a futuristic log cabin, the kind that might detach from Earth and return to its mother planet at any given moment. This year the folks at the Doug Fir decided to dress up their beautiful Burger Week entry in BBQ: It’s got mouth-watering, thick-cut bacon and frizzled onion straws, but the real stars are the Jack Daniels BBQ sauce and the jalapeños. The sauce captures both the rich warmth of whiskey and the sharp sweetness of BBQ, while the jalapeños are smoked and candied, hitting the tongue with invigorating spiciness. It’s all held together under the protective umbrella of a fluffy brioche bun. CIARA DOLAN
