Almost (In)Edible Photo: Krispy Kreme Bacon Cheeseburgers

From flickr, via...THE DEVIL. Either that, or it's from a Google cafeteria in New York. Apparently they serve Krispy Kreme bacon cheeseburgers, a.k.a Luther Burgers.

as bad as that looks, I think I kinda want one.

[Smitch on July 02, 2008 at 07:56 AM]

The hamdog, referenced on that wiki page, sounds more my speed: a hotdog wrapped in a beef patty and deep-fried. I would imagine it's breaded, too.

this looks really sick

[Travis on July 02, 2008 at 10:33 AM]

That looks like something Homer Simpson would eat.

[celebrim on July 02, 2008 at 12:10 PM]

Yuck.

I like burgers. I like donuts.

I eat one or the other every few weeks on average.

But I have no desire to try them together.

[rbj on July 02, 2008 at 12:11 PM]

My arteries are clogging just looking at that.

[Glitchus on July 02, 2008 at 12:14 PM]

Oh my, I bet it's delicious! I'd probably have to run a wire brush through my arteries afterward though.

This is a stupid stunt. Just eat a bug, if you must eat something KA-RAZY just to show how awesome you are.

I mean, why not go whole-hog? Hire hookers to give people head while they eat their donut-bacon-cheeseburgers. And the vomitorium is right through that door, sir.

[Deoxy on July 02, 2008 at 12:52 PM]

Believe it or not, DensityDuck, some people have much higher colorie requriements than the "standard" 2000 calories per day... such as the average male.

At six feet tall, an semi-active male who is not obese will burn many more than 2000 calories per day. A an active man well over 6' will burn many MANY more than that.

One burger (minus the bun) plus one doughnut is hardly excess. One burger (with bun) and fries is probably just as "bad" or worse.

That looks delicious.

[DensityDuck on July 02, 2008 at 12:58 PM]

Deoxy: Obviously you haven't had a proper education, otherwise you'd understand that the excess I'm deriding has nothing to do with quantity.

Copy Cats... We've had that in St. Louis for 2 years now.

Oh, and this year they've introduced Baseballs Best Pretzel...

"You know what would be good on this burger? A ham sandwich! And instead of a bun let's use two donuts. That way we can have it for breakfast. Look out McGriddle, here comes the donut ham hamburger!"

[Fredex on July 02, 2008 at 01:35 PM]

This is a step beyond making a burger on a bagel. I've done that.

[Paul Du Bois on July 02, 2008 at 01:49 PM]

DensityDuck: A vomitorium is not a place where people go to vomit. It is a passageway in an ampitheatre designed to facilitate rapid egress.

[Mike on July 02, 2008 at 01:55 PM]

Paul Du Bois: Yes, a vomitorium *is* a place where people go (went) to vomit. It was common in the roman empire.

[Thelonious on July 02, 2008 at 02:15 PM]

Sorry, Mike - a vomitorium is merely a corridor - NOT a place for regurgitating food: http://www.straightdope.com/columns/021101.html

Yes, the ancient Romans induced vomiting as part of their banqueting procedure, but they did not have a special room for it.

[Jeff R on July 02, 2008 at 03:09 PM]

I have actually eaten one, not at that location. The place I had it at use to slice the krispy kreme in half, grill it and put the sugary side facing in so it wasn't as messy to handle. I was very tasty.

[haineux on July 02, 2008 at 03:30 PM]

So my wife, a Floridian, would pan-fry KK's after all-night drinking adventures. Basically, melt butter in a non-stick pan, add KK's, either flatten or not.

When "done," drizzle with the caramel/butter "sauce" -- it's the best part.

So if I were to make a Luther Burger, I'd grill two KKs in butter, then put sticky sides in, and eat it with a spoon (or a fork, if you're not white-trash).

[Spanno on July 02, 2008 at 03:39 PM]

Haineaux:

You should batter the Luther Burger and deep fry it. Then drizzle it with your caramel/butter sauce.

This reminds of a great independant movie that I saw a couple of years ago, about the extinction of the human species due to a rampant obesity epidemic:

[Jeff R on July 02, 2008 at 04:05 PM]

haineux - you can use just one KK, slice it and grill it, don't fry it in butter :)

Leave off the ketchup, mustard, pickle and onion that would be nasty ;)

[loon on July 02, 2008 at 04:20 PM]

its got bacon, what's not to like?

[dan on July 02, 2008 at 04:31 PM]

i want, nay, need to cosume this sinful delicacy.

[aelfheld on July 02, 2008 at 04:32 PM]

As long as it comes with a defibrillator, I don't see a problem.
