Well, it’s happened. I’ve eaten the Lady’s Brunch Burger / Luther Burger, and I have pleasantly encountered the Boondocks episode, The Itis, as well. And I’ve lived to tell the tale. Last Sunday was burger night at the house, and I figured if I’m going for broke anyways, why not throw Paula Deen’s glazed donut based contraption into my digestive track as well. I could get hit by a bus tomorrow, and I’d hate to die never having known what a bacon and egg burger between two halves of a glazed donut tastes like. Or I could eat one of these and maybe die of a coronary tomorrow, who knows?
So here’s the recap. You know when you dip your sausage and pancakes in maple syrup? The glazed donut imparts that meaty-sweet sensation to the ordinary hamburger, and the salty bacon and protein rich egg keep the breakfast feeling going on. It really wasn’t my thing, because my thing is rich and spicy, and not candy sweet. But if you’ve got an irrepressible sweet tooth, and a death wish, this baby is your burger fatale. I only ate a few bites of the above before disposing of the donut and feeding the burger, egg and bacon to my loyal canine kitchen assistant, who promptly disposed of the non-photographic evidence of my sin. Then I moved on to the real show, the towering burger inferno seen below, which was so tall I had trouble getting it into my huge mouth.
Oh, and in further giant burger news, yesterday Wired Science used my photo of Mega Humburger Four to illustrate a post on a study of the difference in eating habits between men and women. One thing I’ve noticed about my giant burger photos is that they keep turning up all over the web, in odd places.

so what’d you feel like an hour after eating this?

Well, I still felt a heavy dose of shame, but no more Itis than I usually get after consuming one of my mega hamburgers. I’m pretty sure there’s probably less caloric intake involved in the Lady’s Brunch Burger, as it doesn’t have any condiments, nor the sugary pineapple, nor the giant burger itself. So technically the Lady’s Brunch Burger is probably the healthy option in my case.
