The Gateway Grizzlies, a minor league team in Illinois, have created a new concession: Donut Burgers! Apparently their cheeseburgers and their donuts just weren’t unhealthy enough.
The burger, which was introduced at Gateway’s December 10th sale, consists of a thick and juicy burger topped with sharp cheddar cheese and two slices of bacon. The burger is then placed in between each side of a Krispy Kreme Original Glazed doughnut.
Apparently, this is becoming an annual tradition. They have been introducing a new concession each year for the past few years. The first was a hot dog with all hte fixin’s in 2004, and last year was a bratwurst with swiss cheese. I think that the burger with a doughnut bun is a bit over the top, and I can not imagine that that tastes good. Of course, I do not like sweet food. I bet it sells well, though, which is certainly their goal.

It’s probably not _too_ bad if only once a year. I just hope it doesn’t catch on.

Heh, I can’t even imagine a cotton candy donut burger. I’m sure somebody will photochop a picture of that.
I’m also sure that if it tastes good that kids are going to be clamoring for one every time you take them to a ball game, which is hopefully quite often if you live near a minor league field. I know that I enjoy going to watch the SeaDogs as much as I can.

I think that is too forms of grease that should not be combined. That is all.
