Donuts and Burgers

Off of Arrow highway, Brandon and I noticed a place called Sunrize Donuts and Burgers and after seeing it I decided I needed to eat there. Not only that, but I joked about how I was going to get my burger on a donut, sliced in half like a bagel. Although I thought about it, I never actually went through with it. Brandon and I went there for the first time a few weeks ago. While their donuts were delicious, the burgers weren't so hot. They tasted like the poorly photographed pictures that accompanied the food descriptions on the menu looked.

So today Julie sends me this article on ESPN.com

about a minor league stadium in Illnois selling the idea I couldn't go through with. Eating a burger on a hamburger is a line I'm not ready to cross yet. But some people are I guess.



Gateway Grizzlies General Manager Tony Funderburg has eaten 10 of these things already.

Krispy Kreme's connection to this story seems interesting after their recent closings of stores on the east coast. I heard they lost a lot of money due to low/no carb diets. I wouldn't have guessed donuts were a phase. But, I doubt the answer to Krispy Kreme being run out of town by fad diets is extremely unhealthy food combinations.
