Tonight: Mardis Gras Donuts At Brauhaus Schmitz

A close up of the fastnachts.

It’s called Fat Tuesday for a reason, folks. Head down to Brauahaus Schmitz today for pastry chef Jessica Nolen‘s “fastnachts.”

Fastnachts are a traditional Pennsylvania-Dutch potato donut, fried up and dusted with a combination of nutmeg and sugar. They’re the perfect pre-Lent indulgence–or if lent isn’t your thing, they’re just the perfect indulgence for a Tuesday. Also, there’s nothing like hot donuts to make you feel a little less cold and miserable during these arctic temperatures.

You can get a half dozen donuts for $8 or a dozen for $14.
