And You Thought Those Ballpark Dogs Were Bad For You

As if normal stadium fare wasn't unhealthy enough, The Gateway Grizzlies, an Illinois minor league baseball team, just unveiled their latest culinary abomination: The Doughnut 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.

...calorie counters predict the monster will set you back about 1,000 calories and 45 grams of fat.

The team hopes to sell at least 100 of these burgers per game. I sure hope paramedics will be standing by.

Thanks to Shawn for the link.

Because of this post, I had a dream last night that I was eating one of these things. I didn't want to do it but for some reason I had to. I don't recall how it tasted, sorry. Probably just tasted like a burger liberally sprinkled in confectioners sugar.
