There's bacon in it somewhere...


... and that means I want it!

Craz-E Burger: Americans embrace 1,500 calorie doughnut burger

Consisting of a bacon cheeseburger with a buttered, grilled and glazed doughnut standing in for a bun, the Craz-E Burger puts such fatty delights as the deep-fried Mars bar in the shade.

Its 1,500 calories of sugar and saturated fat did not stop it from becoming a huge hit at a major fair in Massachusetts.

Organisers of the Big E, which finished on Sunday, said visitors bought around 1,000 Craz-E burgers each day of the fair's 17-day run.

The fair's website described it as "classic fair food" but noted: "No single ingredient dominates the burger. They all complement each other with artistry expected from a celebrity chef."

It added: "The glaze smooths over the burger and oozes into a foreign but delicious combination with the crisp of the bacon."

The burger was believed to have been created by a bar owner in Decatur, Georgia, who substituted a doughnuts when he ran out of buns.

The restaurant also serves a hamdog, a hotdog wrapped in a beef patty and deep-fried.

The Decatur doughnut burger was named the Luther Burger after the late singer and record producer Luther Vandross, who was said to be a fan.

The Gateway Grizzlies, a minor league baseball team in Illinois, serves the Luther burger at games, piling on further coronary heartache by deep-frying the Krispy Kreme doughnut used as the bun.


I particularly like the way the headline doesn't make sweeping generalisations about Americans!

This is probably better for you and still tastes like bacon.

To want is not wrong...to actually eat it is unexcusable biggrin

Hah. Shouldn't have started your little war of independence then!

I'm sure George wouldn't have been so hasty if he'd known that the future of English confectionery was a pair of shortcake biscuits and some raspberry flavoured plum jam!
