My mother has a term for any food product that she deems unhealthy. She calls it an "instant coronary." It can refer to anything from a mound of onion rings to a big, juicy steak. When I first saw this picture, I immediately heard her voice in my head, labeling these Krispy Kreme cheddar bacon cheeseburgers as such.
I've seen other instances in which a Krispy Kreme is used as a bun for a burger. However, never before have I seen one that is also piled high with bacon and cheese. It seems so wrong that in its deviance, it becomes right once again.
These particular Krispy Kreme burgers were made at the Google NYC cafeteria, so they weren't wildly available. However, did any Slashfood readers get to try one? How were they?

I've seen those of course, on various "World's Unhealthiest Foods" lists, but I've never been moved to try one. First, it's just so wrong that there is no amount of "it's a once in a while entertainment thing" that will suffice. Second, and this is pretty important: Krispy Kreme Donuts just suck. They just do. If you're going to make a donut burger, start with a good donut. KK donuts never had the right ratio of raised yeasty goodness to dripping curtain of icing -- too much icing on too small of a donut. Yuck.

This falls under the category of gross, yet intriguing. I want to see one up close but I'm not sure I could bring myself to eat it.

krispy kreme, donut
200 calories
Fat 12g
Carb 22
protein 2
Hamburger Bun
110 calories
Fat 1.5
Carb 21
Protein 3
so actually the donut is better balanced in it's fat/carb/protein ration and only 80 to and extra 100 calories. (a slice of cheese is 110 calories)

That's called a "Luther Vandross", after the rnb singer of the same name. His hometown burger joint makes those for him as well.

Bacon cheddar burger on a Krispy Kreme glazed donut. Omit the lettuce and tomato and it's not too healthy, so don't eat more than 2-3 per day!
