Craz-E Burger: Americans embrace 1,500 calorie doughnut burger
Calorie-comfortable Americans have found the perfect rejoinder to the healthy eating lobby - the doughnut burger.

a bacon cheeseburger between a split and grilled glazed donut
Consisting of a bacon cheeseburger with a buttered, grilled and glazed doughnut standing in for a bun, the Craz-E Burger puts such fatty delights as the deep-fried Mars bar in the shade.
Its 1,500 calories of sugar and saturated fat did not stop it from becoming a huge hit at a major fair in Massachusetts.

The Craz-E Burger: heart stopping but delicious
Organisers of the Big E, which finished on Sunday, said visitors bought around 1,000 Craz-E burgers each day of the fair's 17-day run.
The fair's website described it as "classic fair food" but noted: "No single ingredient dominates the burger. They all complement each other with artistry expected from a celebrity chef."
It added: "The glaze smooths over the burger and oozes into a foreign but delicious combination with the crisp of the bacon."
The burger was believed to have been created by a bar owner in Decatur, Georgia, who substituted a doughnuts when he ran out of buns.
The restaurant also serves a hamdog, a hotdog wrapped in a beef patty and deep-fried.
The Decatur doughnut burger was named the Luther Burger after the late singer and record producer Luther Vandross, who was said to be a fan.
The Gateway Grizzlies, a minor league baseball team in Illinois, serves the Luther burger at games, piling on further coronary heartache by deep-frying the Krispy Kreme doughnut used as the bun.
lol sounds...interesting...

Stupid article, sorry.
Americans are not "embracing" this. Not everyone in the United States is a disgusting slob.
I don't know a single person, Ever, that would eat this horrendous shit. Maybe buy it as a 'joke' or laughable 'dare', nothing more.
HAHA, so you wouldn't try it at least once? lmao.
Hell no I wouldn't try it.. it sounds terrible!
i actually believe there would be many who would buy it lol, also i've seen another hamburger where the buns were replaced with grilled cheese sandwich's lol.

You only live once. You only live once. Who wants to die not having enjoyed, or I guess while enjoying a Craz-E Burger?
For example, here's a really popular restaurant in arizona

Every year the Texas State Fair has a competition for the newest fair food fad. This year's winner was Deep Fried Butter.
Second this. Since when did "1,000 faire-goers" suddenly become all of America?
I'd eat it once. No more than that though.

I would never it that. It sounds gross. Yuck!
lol.. the guys fingers holding that burger look like little hot dogs!

Fairs are a place of excess...rides,candy,games,fatty food... Why is this news worthy? A person that works out, and eats healthy could eat something like this at a fair and not be out of the ordinary.
It's the people that eat McDonald's and other fast food crap every day that need to worry. You know the lardass mooing around in wal-mart on the scooters because their too ******* fat to walk.
I wont even mention the fact that they're buying chinese crap from walmart and contributing to the downfall of their own lifestyle with every purchase. (eventually they wont be able to afford food when the welfare dries up)</p>
Let me break it down by the numbers.
Fair food.
Noun. Plural Fair foods.
1. Deliberately over-indulgent fare hawked at annual county or state fairs in the United States of America. Not a major health risk due to the fact that people will likely only have the opportunity to eat them on one week out of the entire year.
This shit is designed to be over the top, guys. You're eating it like once a year, literally.
Yeah, this kind of shit isn't what's causing people to gain weight in the US. The problem is a combination of lifestyle and longterm diet. Most of it is lifestyle. Here's a hint. Why is San Francisco often ranked the healthiest city in America? It's because you have to walk a whole lot if you live or work in that city, often up and down hills too. People who live in major metropolitan areas in Europe also have to walk a lot, since most of those cities were originally quite old, and the streets weren't built with the automobile in mind. In both cases, it's public transportation which is carrying you for the really long trips, which is fine because public transportation actually works there.
Unfortunately, most US cities aren't like that. For instance, where I live now? Southern California? Yeah, I'll have to drive anywhere I want to go. And there will usually be parking right next to my destination. And public transportation is more or less a complete non-option. To go see one of my friends who is a fifteen minute drive away, it would take me 90 minutes to get there on the horrible public transport here. That's actually a standard example too, not an isolated case.
I am not worried about it making me fat, I am worried about eating it.. It sounds absolutely disgusting lmao. First, I do not like donuts, second , I do not like most ground meat. Now you put that together and you have a big pile of poo on a plate and people actually pay money to eat this stuff? LOL you couldn;t pay ME to eat it, not even once. LOL!
I live in an area you have to drive everywhere as well, but that is what excercise is for. Lifestyle has alot to do with it, but not necessarily because people are forced to walk to work.. people excercise regardless of where they live, it just depends on the person.
Well, the sad reality is that a lot of people don't exercise.
I'm just saying that when you have a limited amount of exercise built into your lifestyle by necessity, people are going to be a lot fitter _on average_ in those places.
Yes, 1000 fair goers on an Eastern Seaboard state are definitely "America". I know of no one who would seriously just buy and eat this like a hamburger from Burger King. It would be little more than a joke, I could definitely imagine walking into somewhere serving this and buying one, but it would be while we were laughing and messing around. Nor would the whole thing be eaten, unless it was a dare.
I hate British publications making America out to look like fat slobs.

That appeals to the 21 year old male in me...
I'd probably try it; Just to say I've done it.
But 1,500 cals... thats intense. If it wasn't for the fact that the calories have minimal nutritional value. We need one of those with whole grains and stuff :P then those of us lucky buggers who are trying to gain weight get some lovin :P
after 6 or so years, I had to change it a little...
I saw this burger a long time ago. This was the image I saw of it in an article
My friends and I discussed it and as disgustingly gross as it appears, I would have to take a bite out of one just to say I did. I dont care if someone thinks its gonna make my heart explode, fact is.. a bite wont make my heart explode.
Now the dillema my friends and I came up with is either one of two things will happen. It will immediately be spat out of our mouthes.. OR.. it will melt in our mouth and make us eat the entire thing. Thats the scary part. If you do enjoy it, man I guess that says a lot for you. I could just imagine the guilty feeling afterwards. What if you began to crave this so-called 'turd burger'? The epitome of a guilty pleasure.

"Americans embrace"? Who the hell are you to associate every US citizen with something disgusting? I'm so sick of seeing crap like this. Listen, Scalebane. I am a US citizen. My family and I, along with my relatives and friends, none of us are anything like all the statements like yours make us out to be. As if these disgusting people represent everyone else, how offensive can you get?

Well atleast the American stereotype of being loud and arrogant seems to be bang on in this case.
He just pasted an article; the green text if you bothered to click the link is just the same as the link.
Besides; nobody really made that claim that all of you are fat, or obnoxious... atleast not up to this point :P

Well considering i didn't write the topic, i posted it exactly as they did, i'm not sure how you are saying how the hell did i do something i actually didn't do.
besides that you should try not raging over little things, you'll live longer.

I'm actually curious as to why people find it disgusting, yeah it looks bad but that doesn't mean it tastes bad.
How many things do people drink that is disgusting? other types of foods? people that smoke?
In japan they sell a yogurt pepsi, is that gross? people eat insects is that gross?
i wasn't aware that you had to be a disgusting human being to try something like that, so i guess i should consider anyone who eats something strange, drinks something strange, smokes, alcohol drinkers, etc, i should consider them disgusting slob human beings. Glad people here cleared that up for me.

No I didn't read the original article, go figure that it's verbatim. But you know what I mean, people post things like this all the time, and then put "Americans =" even if it's just a few bad apples. Point is we don't need your hatred, we have enough as it is, and besides most of us are just as fed up with things as everyone else.
And don't take my mistake and turn it around to say all Americans are loud and arrogant. That sort of logic reeks of racism.
