Do burgers and Krispy Kremes go together?

As a co-founder of the Tour de Donut bicycle "race," I could not help being fascinated about the new culinary delight that will be sold at the Sauget, Ill.-based Gateway Grizzlies minor-league baseball team's concession stand this year: "Baseball's Best Burger"

What is it? It's a thick hamburger topped with sharp cheddar cheese and two slices of bacon surrounded by a bun that is two halves of a grilled Krispy Kreme glazed doughnut.

Grizzlies General Manager Tony Funderburg describes it this way: "It tastes a lot like a McGriddle, a lunch version of the McGriddle. The sharp cheddar cheese is a great complement to the Krispy Kreme. It's a really good sandwich."

In case you're counting calories, you might have second thoughts about putting one in your mouth. It weighs in at 1,000 calories with 45 grams of fat.

You can read more about the burger at the Belleville News-Democrat and take a online poll on whether you'd eat the thing. You also can read about it and see a photo of "Baseball's Best Burger" at ESPN.

If they could get the Krispy Kremes sans glaze, they might be onto something. A deep-fried hamburger bun sounds like indisputable proof that God loves me and wants me to be happy ... especially if the burger happens to have a pat of butter on top, a la Culver's. But glazed? Uh-uh. Sugar does not belong on meat. Ever. For any reason.
