Bugg's preferences on hamburgers and men A few days ago we ran a feature displaying the favorite hamburger condiments of Washington journalists for no other reason than CBS Norah O'Donnell's husband Cheoff Geoff tweeted the question and then we posed it to journos. We were remiss in not printing Metro Weekly Co-Publisher Sean Bugg's response. It's hot salsa. "I'd probably have something funnier if you asked me for my favorite condiment on men. And yes, I have one." And yes, we asked. It's Log Cabin syrup. "That's not a political statement, because Mrs. Butterworth's is also acceptable, though the bottle is a bit of a turn-off," he said.
