Krispy Kreme Burger comes to Google's NYC cafeteria

I love Krispy Kremes, bacon and burgers, too, but I've never tasted the abomination, er, delicacy, pictured here. But only because until today, I didn't know any place nearby to sample this artery-clogging, waist-broadening wonder. After all, I ate a hot, unglazed Krispy Kreme for an article I wrote about the company years ago. I wouldn't recommend it. Talk about heart-stopping.

If I lived anywhere near a certain minor league baseball park or was friends with a certain R&B vocalist, I'd surely have tried one of these things by now. This miracle of modern griddle work is now being served at Google's New York City cafeteria. Now all I need to do is find a good cardiologist and get a job with Google.

Sorry if I was too busy salivating to give a description. The bacon Krispy Kreme cheeseburger starts with a donut (glazed of course) that's split, grilled, then used as a bun. The grilled halves are the outside of the sandwich, while the glazed interior forms a gloriously fatty, sugary fusion with the filling of ground beef, cheese and bacon.

It's worth noting that Googling "Krispy Kreme Burger" pulls up 2,040 hits, a figure almost twice the caloric content of this sweet-savory monstrosity. "Bacon Krispy Kreme Burger," on the other hand, gets no hits. I can't help thinking that the latter search result is why Google's cafeteria called its sandwich "Bacon Krispy Kreme Burger."

By the way, I lied, I've no intention of trying this bad boy until my esteemed colleague Mr. Cutlets does so and furnishes me with a report from his cardiologist.
