Oh media, must you keep torturing us with photos of the famous bacon cheeseburger, provocatively ensconced between two Krispy Kreme donuts instead of a bun? Truly the apotheosis of American ingenuity, this delicacy has previously been savored by Google employees in the company's New York cafeteria, who lorded it over everyone with food porn photos back in 2007. It's generally believed that the invention first appeared on the world stage in 2005, at a suburban bar in Decatur, Georgia, where its creator dubbed it The Luther Burger after diabetic American R&B star Luther Vandross. Now it's back, and so close we can taste it—except, not literally!
The burger resurfaced in mid-September under the new name "Craz-E Burger" at The Big E, New England’s biggest food fair, held in West Springfield, Mass. Served, without irony, in the "Better Living Center," fairgoers bought about 1,000 of these bad boys each day of the fair's 17-day run. The Daily News crunches the numbers, calculating that at 1,500 calories per, that adds up to 2.5 million calories worth of sugary, cheesy, bacon-dressed beef—or "the creation of an additional 730 pounds of waistline jiggle."
Sure, we could try making this ourselves, but to be honest, we're afraid we'll come to our senses lose our nerve during prep. With all these exotic new food trucks prowling New York's streets, why can't some ambitious culinary entrepreneur roll out a Luther & Things truck? Our waistlines are literally jiggling with frustration. New York City has it all, except the Luther? Doesn't seem right.

mmmm, maybe Bonnie's Grill could be talked into this, or maybe an NYC version with a Doughnut Plant doughnut....
Aren't NYers FAT enough JDS?
I'm sort of crying, sort of salivating over this.
Saliva Tears - great band name!
A nice doughnut will make it all better.
This probably hasn't hit New York yet because food establishments have to disclose calorie information on their menus. That law doesn't exist in Georgia. It would take all the fun out of deep-fried Oreo cookies.
Needs a fried egg. Someone make this happen.
yes! Paula Deen did it, god bless her

I am going to make this sometime during the week and send you photos of myself cramming my face with it. You don't have to see the 70mile bike ride I'll do on Saturday and Sunday to pay for my sins.
i ate this in 1999 at the Doodle (rip) in New Haven, Ct not on the menu but they would make it for you by request. and the donut should be grilled !
Man v. Food got the grilled donut version at a minor league baseball park in the most recent episode.
sweet what city was it ? new haven?
sauget, il

as someone who has partaken of the Luther burger, the biggest challenge you will face will be the fact that donuts do not make a very resilient roll. my suggestions: toast/grill char them to make them a little tougher (plus caramelized sugar goodness).
Can I get a triple bypass and diet stroke please?
Is there any place in New York left to get Krispy Kremes?
Penn Station has like two Krispy Kremes, one for the LIRR platforms, one for NJT.
This is worse than tainted ground beef.
KFC's got the right idea also.

Alert the food police!
Good god, I just gained 10 pounds simply *looking* at that monstrosity!
Just one, then I don't need to experience it ever again. God told me that, calorie wise, the first one is free.
This is like the place called Heart Attack Grill.
yikes!
I guess everyone reading this must have steel stomachs.
looking at that thing makes my stomach churn and begging for a tums.
i see the face of jesus in there.
Look more closely. It's not his face. It's his anus.
I'm no vegan, but that looks nauseating.
Just looking at that thing makes my chronic acid reflux flare and I think I feel pangs of a duodonal ulcer I had about 15 years ago to boot.
That said, if there were no consequences, I'd eat those every meal of the day.
Save on costly visits to the dentist: just drink a gallon of warm fat.
yuk! you made me imagine myself doing that.
Ground beef is overrated. Now give me that thing piled high with pastrami and I'd be all over it.
The picture made me throw up in my mouth a little.
Woof. That thing is beyond disgusting.
mmmmf
Barf-o-rama
