Lost Week: “Baseball’s Best Burger:” Recreated
I read an article on ESPN.com earlier today. The Gateway Grizzlies in Illinois have apparently created “Baseball’s Best Burger.”
The ballpark sandwich will include a hamburger topped with sharp cheddar cheese and two slices of bacon — all between a “bun” made of a sliced Krispy Kreme Original Glazed doughnut.
Sounds easy enough. Feeling adventurous, I grabbed some Krispy Kreme Original Glazed doughnuts and left the rest to our amazing chefs at Doogle’s. I forgot that the doughnuts are used cut-side out, so the glaze doesn’t get all over your fingers.
Verdict: AMAZING.
Despite the fact that each burger loads 1000 calories and 45 grams of fat into your system, I would gladly eat another. and another. and another.
I made a second batch with the bun properly oriented, cut them up, and served them to our bar customers during happy hour. Everyone loved them and no one had a heart attack. Though I don’t think we’ll be adding it to our menu, maybe we’ll add it to our secret menu.
Here’s a pic of the Doogle Krispy Kreme burger (first batch).
