How about a Krispy Kreme hamburger?
Minor-league club offers 1,000-calorie sandwich with cheese, bacon, donuts



Updated: 4:02 p.m. ET March 10, 2006
The minor-league team Gateway Grizzlies of the Frontier League will begin selling a concessions item that is not for the calorie-conscious, ESPN reported.

"Baseball's Best Burger," as the Grizzlies call it, will consist of a hamburger topped with cheddar cheese and two slices of bacon — all between a "bun" made of a sliced Krispy Kreme Original Glazed donut.

The burger is not for the faint of heart — literally — and will contain roughly 1,000 calories and 45 grams of fat.

"We have had the opportunity to bring in a new concession item for the past two seasons and each of them have been very successful," Grizzlies general manager Tony Funderburg told ESPN.

Funderburg, who said he has eaten at least 10 of the creations, claims he got the idea after reading about a restaurant in Atlanta with a similar sandwich, ESPN reported.

Two years ago, the Grizzlies created what they called "Baseball's Best Hotdog" — a frank with two strips of bacon, onions, sauerkraut and cheese sauce. Then, last year they debuted the "Swiss Brat" — a bratwurst sausage with a slice of Swiss cheese in the middle of it, topped with sauerkraut.

"Baseball's Best Burger" follows in the tradition of other great sports-related sandwiches, including the Roethlisburger. Created in 2004 in honor of the Pittsburgh Steelers young quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, it's sold at a place called Peppi's and includes beef, sausage, scrambled eggs, onions and American cheese, according to ESPN.

The independent club, located outside St. Louis in Sauget, Ill., is in its sixth year of operation.

Whomever buys one of these needs to see a therapist.

OOoooohhhhh! Well, I will need a size 42 DD for my straight jack, cuz I want one of these! In elementary school we had pancakes on a stick with ham and cheddar cheese in the middle. We would dip them in syrup. That shit was good. And it is a Krispy Kreme bun, oh hell yeah!



I will pay any orger in the vicinity a hundred bucks to send me one. Hello!

MmmHmm... That too.

Um, doesn't a double whopper with bacon and cheese have almost 2000?

Apparently not, though a Double Whopper with cheese has 1150.

This beast from Hardee's, the "Monster Thickburger", launched back in '04, had 1,420 calories.



two 1/3-pound slabs of Angus beef, four strips of bacon, three slices of cheese and mayonnaise on a buttered sesame seed bun

I saw a picture of this shit yesterday It looks really, really, REALLY GROSS

As if we don't eat enough bullshit. Just the idea of something that sweet combined w/ something that greasy is awful

looks like we need some serious mass showings of the films "Supersize Me" and "Fast Food Nation"

or at least the end of monty python's meaning of life...

That is disgusting!

I would love this were it not for the donut part. What's the point in that?

Nothing wrong with a big, fat, juicy, artery-clogging burger once in a while, though.

I had one on Friday actually.

The McD bacon quarterpounder w/cheese is my favourite. God damn, I love unhealthy food.

Omadon said:

They don't do even a quarter pounder with cheese here in Thailand, only a cheeseburger or big mac. They do have a samurai barbecue pork burger and all manner of cheap option 'pork' and 'chicken' burgers.

I had a double whopper with bacon and cheese today in Burger King for the first time in a couple of years and could barely get through it. It was nice though, for a change. Couldn't eat that stuff more than once every couple of weeks or so. I feel like I'm dying while eating it, despite how nice bacon is.
