@QuizmasterLaw That's just through international influence, and tourists who search for something they know already, the same who eat Burger in the sony center. A Donut is actually something for bad bakers. Getting a full ball baked inside is more complicated, than just replace the inside with a whole to have less dough and less baking time. You even need lower fat temperature for donuts.

@QuizmasterLaw Are there different ways ? Medium, just the second after the red is gone ? 180g Paddie. Beef can have up to 30% fat. Brioche bun, not to heavy toasted. Major variety is the sauce. It's either towards mayonaise/mustard, or towards fruity/tomaty/smoky.

You know, a Hamburger can be a guy from Hamburg or something to eat. Same is for Frankfurter or Berliner. Ponchiki in Russian I think, is a Berliner, but it's only used outside Berlin, not in Berlin.

Traces of a white powder he might have portioned on the phone to sniff it.

It's not far away. It's more peaceful and quiet. A place to sleep, not much action. Boring so to say.

“All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin, and, therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words ‘Ich bin ein Berliner!’” It's a speach from a time when the wall was just built. Kennedy said this in the meaning of "I stand in for Berlin, I protect you" or something like this. It's a little pathetic. The joke itself is a bad one, cause Berliner is something to eat in some parts of Germany. Like making fun of the word Hamburger. Amerikaner is also something to eat, by the way. No idea why.
