Luck and Glazed Donut Works are combining forces yet again as they work to bring an end to as many diets as possible. Their weapons? Beer and doughnuts. If the historical popularity of this event is any indicator, Dallasites are just waiting for a reason to bring their Paleo regimens to a crushing, yeasty halt. A Valentine's Day edition of this event includes four extra-sweet doughnut and beer pairings, such as a vegan pink coconut doughnut with Legal Draft's Hung Jury Hefe and Small Brewpub's Black Pepper Pils with chocolate passion fruit. Tickets are $18 and must be reserved in advance for one of three seatings.
