And our arteries aren't clogged enough, either.

Hmmmm. I wonder if Casey had a hand in this? At the very least she'll be his number one customer.
BACON!

Last season, the Gateway Grizzlies announced they would be offering Baseball's Best Burger; which is really the Luther Burger. It's a bacon cheese burger served on a Krispy Kreme donut. Luther Vandross came up with the idea when he was fixing himself a bacon cheeseburger but only had donuts on hand instead of buns.

Andrew's comment says it all.
And Amer: check your clock!

"Mmmmmmmm....this is DELISH!!"
*aaaaack, thud*

Based on all the warnings in the recipe, it's only a matter of time before we read about someone burning down their house while trying to cook one of these things.

*URP*
As much as I love bacon, this is a tad too much. It looks pretty disgusting too.
Posted by: Siouxie | January 28, 2008 at 09:39 AM
should just come with the warning: do not consume unless in the presence of a cardiologist. stat!

sly - you are doing your part to help in my dietary program, too! *urk*

DD, what can you say about a bacon burger that was developed by a guy who eventually had a stroke and died? AND then is sold by an athletic team as Baseball's Best Burger.
Posted by: slyeyes | January 28, 2008 at 10:47 AM
*snork* at crossgirl
Posted by: KDF | January 28, 2008 at 10:48 AM
sly - it wasn't so much the burger as the concept of a burger ON DOUGHNUTS. YICK.

And a small Diet C0ke, please.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | January 28, 2008 at 11:14 AM
and a wafer-thin mint...

MMMmMMMmmm Bacon!

Jim Gaffigan on Bacon

Jim Gaffigan has admitted to not helping the homeless!

I can feel the little pigs floating in my bloodsteam.
Posted by: Cheesewiz | January 28, 2008 at 03:06 PM
Honey, save some room for dessert, I also made deep-fried Twinkies...

I used to work in a club where we served this decadent little treat at cocktail parties. You take whole dates, stuff them with sausage, then wrap them in bacon and fix through with a toothpick. Bake in the oven at about 375 until the sausage and bacon are well cooked.
Let me tell you, nobody refused seconds on these little beasties. Hot women in slinky party dresses couldn't resist having half a dozen of them.
And if you still need more inspiration, Saveur magazine detailed how to make Bacon-on-a-Stick glazed with brown sugar. Woo daddy! Go, pork ranchers!

Maybe a shake made with double fat ice cream as a beverage? No sense doing anything half way.
Posted by: Diane W. | January 29, 2008 at 08:17 AM
I'd call it JIFFY LUBE and market it as a purgative
Posted by: Ednausean | January 29, 2008 at 09:26 AM
Vegetable Oil for deep frying this thing...time to break out the beef fat. Why scrimp now!
Posted by: Brandon | January 29, 2008 at 11:21 AM
It looks like a 10,000 calorie meal. I can feel my arteries clogging up just thinking about it.
Posted by: Rosie | January 29, 2008 at 03:17 PM
oh, and LOL at Ednausean
Posted by: Rosie | January 29, 2008 at 03:19 PM
And-
German-Russians beat him to it. Theirs is called fleischkuekle (made by frying a half-circle of dough containing a seasoned meat patty.)
Ugh.
