Heart-stopping excess in a neat, deep-fried package

deep fried, cheese filled bacon burger, with a side of jalapeno poppers

I do my best to offer up posts with good recipes, tasty links and interesting food-related news events. I really try not to turn Slashfood into a culinary News of the Weird. However sometimes, the insane excesses that people out there dream up are just too nutty to ignore. The crazy wedding cake doppelganger I posted about earlier in the week fell into that category. And so does this--a burger made out of ground bacon, filled with mozzarella cheese, coated in beer batter and then put in a deep fryer until crispy and cooked through.

A heart-stopper for sure, although I must admit that I'm sort of curious to know how it tasted. Sadly, I don't have the grinder attachment for my Kitchen Aid mixer, so I fear I will never find out (I don't actually think I could bear introducing my body to this much saturated fat all at once, but darn if I'm not intrigued).

There are no words to describe how horrible this "burger" sounds. Yuck.

I know it's probably really, really bad for us but I bet you it tastes really, really good!

theres a place in new orleans called tuckers that serves up deep fried burgers. basically the same as these but with ground beef, not bacon. but they have all sorts of toppings (to be more accurate, fillings). while it sounds gross, once or twice a year its a real treat. yummm....

That combination does sound a bit over the top although I'll bet it tastes yummy. We make our _ham_burgers out of ground pork - because that's what we raise - pigs. Ground pork is the original _ham_burger as the name would suggest. Properly raised pastured pork is a high in Omega-3 fatty acids, the ones that are good for your heart, and low in fat. Delicious too.

Cheers,
