For a limited time only, you can have the donut-burger! It’s a hamburger shaped like a donut, with sauce dolloped into the middle hole. Mmmm… put some bacon-salt and ketchup, and perhaps some mayonnaise into the center, and we got ourselves a damn fine burger. Here’s the full article. Oh, did I mention you have to be in Japan? Sorry! 😛 [http://inventorspot.com/articles/donut\_burgers\_all\_thats\_holey\_fast\_food\_gets\_sweet\_makeover\_41700](http://inventorspot.com/articles/donut_burgers_all_thats_holey_fast_food_gets_sweet_makeover_41700) (Good God, check out those tomato slices!) ---

So it’s a burger shaped like a donut? Big deal. [This](http://gwiv.com/WienerChampion26.jpg) is the donut burger. Available at Mulligan’s in Atlanta and the [Gateway Grizzlies ballpark](http://www.gatewaygrizzlies.com/news/?id=2723) outside St. Louis, among other fine establishments. ---

I like ketchup. I like bananas. I don’t like ketchup on bananas. ---

> [@CalMeacham](#): > > I like ketchup. > > I like bananas. > > I don’t like ketchup on bananas. Well, ketchup is pretty sweet in itself. But have you ever had, say, sour cream on plantains? Good stuff! I suspect the donut-burgers could actually be quite tasty. Horrible for you, of course, but tasty. ---

Not surprisingly, Paula Deen has done this, too - only for some mysterious reason, she calls it “[The Lady’s Brunch Burger](http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paulas-home-cooking/the-ladys-brunch-burger-recipe/index.html)”. Her version includes a fried egg, and is served between two krispy kremes. ---

There’s a new shop in Manhattan, Holey Cream (no website), that serves donuts and ice cream. Among their offerings is an ice cream sandwich in which the cookies are replaced by donuts. I haven’t been there, but it’s not clear to me how this is supposed to work - wouldn’t the ice cream ooze out the holes in the middle of the donuts after you applied pressure when biting down, or even if you put it down for a minute? ---

I ate one of these at a Gateway Grizzlies game. I must admit, it was pretty awesome. (BTW, they slice the donut like a bagel and then [turn it inside-out](http://baseballtrips.net/gw4.jpg) so you don’t get Krispy-Kreme gook on your fingers!) ---

Wow, give me ONE more reason to drive to St Louis, and I will get in the car. That looks soo awesome – I wonder if they have mail order? ---
