As if a day of ballpark food like chili dogs, nachos and beer wasn't enough to wreck you, GMC Stadium, home of
Sauget, Illinois' Gateway Grizzlies (of the Frontier League) serves a bacon cheeseburger on a Krispy Kreme doughnut. This blockage
on a bun is better known to some of you as a Luther Burger, named after the late Luther Vandross. I recall rumors of
this burger making the rounds on the internet a few years ago. Snopes confirms that it is, in fact, a real thing and it hails from
Mulligan's, a bar in Decatur, Georgia. The details of how it became associated with the sultry crooner are
cloudy—some say he invented it, others say it was just a favorite of his. At any rate, Grizzlies fans can
apparently order one up from the GMC Stadium concession stand. They call it "Baseball's Best Burger."Illinois ballpark serves Luther Burgers

This culinary abomination was featured on an episode of The Boondocks cartoon on Cartoon Network several weeks ago.
