XXX-tream foods

I'm fascinated by the extream lengths to which people take their food combinations (see previous posts about deep-fried pizza, gaint burgers, and huge hot dogs to ketchup [ha!])


One of my favorites is the Luther Vandross. Images of this have been floating around the Internet for a little while now after Paula Deen threw one together a while back, but this artery wrecker has been kicking around for years.


But Jon, what is this monstrous munchable? Why it's nothing more than a hamburger. Well, cheeseburger. A bacon cheeseburger to be precise. OK, it's a bacon cheeseburger sandwiched between two glazed donuts. No big deal.

Some variations use halved donuts, add a fried egg, or swap out the glazed donut for a maple frosted. But at the end of the day, it still looks pretty tasty.

Looking to try one but don't want to make it yourself? Stop by the home of the Gateway Grizzlies in Sauget, Illinois, where the Luther is a welcome addition to independent baseball.
