The Luther

Samichlaus · 06-15-2006, 04:14 PM

A bacon cheeseburger, which employs a Krispy Kreme in place of a bun.

According to urban legend, it was invented at Mulligan's bar in Decatur, Georgia on a day when the cook ran out of hamburger buns and decided to use two donuts instead. Its creator named the sandwich after R&B legend Luther Vandross, who reportedly enjoyed the sandwich; some rumors claim that Vandross himself invented his namesake burger.

That looks good but its namesake, God rest him, had a stroke at the age of 52 and died at 54. I think I'll pass!

I saw a news story on this burger a couple weekends ago. It's being served at minor league baseball park somewhere and is very popular.

Looks something like something I ate early one morning trying to chase Jack out of my head after one of them nights.

The had that on an episode of The Boondocks called "The Itis". You forgot the grilled onions, mayo and 2 other kinds of cheese.

nmayeux · 06-15-2006, 06:55 PM

I don't know which is worse, that or Elvis' Peanut Butte and Nanner Sandwich. I remeber seeing a show one time that siad just one of those sadnwiches had enough cholesteral in it to kill a man. I think it had a pound of bacon on it along with the peanut butter and Butter crust bread. And it was fried.

Do we really use our arteries?

jgh1204 · 06-15-2006, 07:59 PM

I saw a story on the news about a minor league concession stand selling those.

Crispy cremes are way too sweet for me. Cannot imagine using it for a hamburger bun.

Good point, Jp, I can't honestly remember when I last decided to use one of my arteries for anything.
