Interestingly enough, there's already a burger out there just like this, called the "Luther Burger". Named after Luther Vandross! The story goes that he wanted a burger one night, but was out of bread. He did, however, have a Krispy Kreme doughnut. So he sliced it in half, grilled it, and used it as a bun! The origin may be sketchy, but the "Luther Burger" is TRUE, according to snopes.com.
There's also a "Hamdog", which is a hotdog wrapped in a hamburger, deepfried, then covered with chili, cheese, and onion, put into bun, then topped with a fried egg and some fries. If that's not a heart attack on a plate, I don't know what is.
I still stand by the Krispy Kreme burger, though! I tell you, McGriddles are delicious!
