mvaldemar, I learn that a minor league ballpark in St. Louis is serving Krispy Kreme Bacon Cheeseburgers:
That is quite possibly the most horrifying thing I’ve ever seen served on a plate.
mvaldemar, I learn that a minor league ballpark in St. Louis is serving Krispy Kreme Bacon Cheeseburgers:
It’s sweet like a doughnut, and then you’ve got the hamburger. You’ve read that right. It’s a burger with cheese and bacon, sandwiched between a Krispy Kreme doughnut — a heart attack waiting to happen. A burger so perfect, they say, tampering is discouraged.
“You’re ruining it! You’re not supposed to put ketchup on it!” Bowers says to a diner.
“Well, I don’t know. It’s my first time,” he replies.
For a mere $4.50 it’s breakfast, dinner, and a little dessert all in one. That it packs up to 1,000 calories — the donut alone has 10 grams of sugar — doesn’t seem to faze diabetic diner Floyd Schuetz.
“Oh, I’ll have another one of these,” he says.
That is quite possibly the most horrifying thing I’ve ever seen served on a plate.

It is so unusual that it gets its very own Wikipedia listing:

Date: 2006-06-05 10:30 pm (UTC)Hamburger breakfast donuts?
Date: 2006-06-05 04:32 pm (UTC)HAMBURGERS
BREAKFAST
DONUTS
...but as you approach from down the street, another building cuts off the "S" in "hamburgers", and it looks like it's advertising "hamburger breakfast donuts". Which is kind of what these things are....

There's a reason that's a MINOR league ballpark. I mean, sure, they serve sushi and fish and chips out here in Safeco... but jeez, man, this is Ichiro country. We know better than to abuse our poor Krispy Kremes out here.
If'n they really want little gutbomber hamburgers, they should look for signs that say "Krystal" or "White Castle"...

Date: 2006-06-05 08:07 pm (UTC)What a horrible thing to do to yummy Krispy Kremes.
What a horrible mental image to give me for the next time I eat a Krispy Kreme. Die! die! die!
Sure, sugar and salt go together OK ... some of the time. But not all sugars, not all salts.
Well, they got their gimmick and attention, which was the goal. *sigh*
They ain't getting my patronage, but then again, that wasn't their goal.

(And I was even eating dinner when I wrote this! The trick is not to think about it too hard.)
