Primary Voting by Hamburgers — R or D — at GTown Bites

Who said voting during the 2016 campaign is no longer fun?
At least one Georgetown sandwich joint, Gtown Bites, owned by Nasser Zakikhani, has a sense of humor about this year’s electoral politics. “We’re getting some media attention from our GTB Burger Poll 2016,” Zakikhani said.
Gtown Bites at 3206 O St. NW is offering dueling hamburger specials — one for those voting Democratic and another for those voting Republican — and each at the same price: $13.95.
The R-Burger (double cheeseburger, topped with bacon, sexy fries and a can of soda) is “made in America by documented workers.”
The D-Burger (cheeseburger, sexy fries and a can of soda) is also “made in America by documented worker.” Alas, that’s half the size with no bacon, but $3 will be “donated to your choice of the following: Central Union Mission, Martha’s Table, House of Ruth — or the Trump campaign.”
That is Zakikhani’s idea of a joke. So far, the Republicans are beating the Democrats by 13 to 10 — and you can spin that tally any way you want. (Stay tuned: There will be an update when the final votes come in.)
