A Hamburger Today- aht.seriouseats.com

This totally beats her deep fried cake.

Do you think she really makes stuff like this or is she just doing this to shock people? I hope it's the latter.

Actually Adam, I don't see cheese anywhere in the photo or the recipe. However, I would add a slice on the top of the burger, and slather the cheese with a thick layer of Hellman's mayo prior to topping it with the egg. Of course, a good Hollandaise sauce would work in place of that mayo ... ;-)

Hey Adam, Luna's right. No cheese. Though I can totally see thinking there was, because if one is a cheeseburger person as I am, one assumes all burgers have cheese. You know, if you got rid of the burger and substituted a lesser amount of breakfast sausage, it would pretty much be a McGriddle, wouldn't it? This is pretty gross and believe me, normally I can totally get behind the salty/sweet thing, but not with this. Plus, wouldn't the donut "bun" be unuseable as an actual bun. And that's what's making it even more disgusting to me, that all smooshed up, wet, cold icky donut stuff. Eeeewww.

Hmmm ... chisai's comment got me thinking. This sandwich needs to be set between two Hollandaise-filled paczski's. Yeah, that's the ticket. :-D

Now Raphael, that's just silly, the egg would never survi ...

... wait a sec ... take two sausage patties ... make them into slight bowl shapes ... crack the egg into one ... seal it up with the other ... a little egg wash on the outside, some corn meal ... deep-fry it in the skillet ... it'd be a Chicken-Fried-Egg-Stuffed Double-Sausage Patty ... Raphael, you're a genius!!!

I love Paula. She sure knows how to put all of my favorite things together into one wondrous mass of evil.

I love Paula Deen. She and I could form an unbeatable team, solving crimes and deep-frying otherwise healthy meals.

I've always wanted to try a donut burger. Sans bacon and fried egg though. That's a little much.

On a serious note, I have made French Toast using day old cake donuts (also called old fashioned donuts at the chains) which was excellent.

OMG - I just want one bite, just one! I can't believe something like this is calling my name :)

So if this was a show on brunch... my question is: What sides did she make to go along with this sweet/salty/fatty goodness?

It looks absolutely delicious, and yet scary at the same time. MMMM Triple Coronary Bypass.

Paula Deen Really Is Trying To Kill Us.

I'm going to go read the back links for parts 1 to 3....

I couldn't believe this was even real. I thought the deep-fried cheesecake was bad enough. We had a great laugh about this on the WW board. Thanks Paula--dieting is hard. Your recipe made me feel so sick, I couldn't eat all day :)

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.... blech!

Did any of you SEE this episode? She was laughing so hard as she tried to take a bite, I thought it was going to come out of her nose. Even she thought it was a joke.

Paul Deen is the kind of person you love and you smile and cut up with her and you try never to eat her food. I know lots of Paula Deens. When you go to their house you EAT before you go.
Whats that? collards with pork butt, bacon and fat back? Oh we already ate. Lard in your biscuits too? Wow you been busy.
I made the mistake once of letting a nice old southern lady get me a glass of pot liquor. I never was more productive in the bathroom than that week, almost landed me in the hospital.
I often take a PD recipe and clean it up. For my family her recipes as is do not work.

if i was the night before my execution, i would definitely order this as my last meal. definitely a better way to die than the injection!

I've never understood what people find so amusing about Paula Dean's cooking style. It's really terrible. There is some great good cooked in the the south, but you wouldn't know it by watching her.

I am starting to feel sick. . . I don't think I should have seen this right after my breakfast!

This is the same woman who gave the world the deep fried butter chunk....

^The scary thing about that bread pudding recipe was that she didn't come up with that recipe; a fan of hers gave it to her and she prepared the recipe for Paula's Home Cooking.

I don't know if this was left out for some reason by the author or any of the commenters, but this idea was STOLEN from the show "The Boondocks," where Robert Freeman sells this very same burger and calls it "The Luther", supposedly because Luther Vandross ate so many that he keeled over from them. In any event, I think P.D. needs to give credit where credit is due.

Wow! Look at the posts! Just when one thinks bacon can't be bested.....think again. Love it or hate it..I'll be making my version at home this weekend.
Cheers, TB.

Adam - I'll be sure to mention it to her along with the hollandaise idea, love that one. Seriously folks, have a sense of humor and a concept of moderation and you'll be a lot happier. Now I'm off to consume a few quarts of clarified butter topped with whipped cream.

Amen, Margie! That said, look for it on the Burger King value menu any day now...yuk!

Yes, Paula is definitely outrageous but...I've actually tried some of the more reasonable recipes from her show and they were really good. Uncle Bubba's Seafood Pot Pie, Lady & Son's Fried Pork Chops (deep-fried) were just delicious. Granted, I wouldn't want to eat these fat-laden dishes on a regular basis but every now and then we like to live a little (or die a little?). And all these years I could have put a little sweet relish in my Deviled eggs (PD's Traditional Southern Deviled Eggs). Yum yum!

Only in America do people have the opportunity to work hard and make a success of themselves as PD has done. I don't know anyone who takes her cooking and/or her over the top recipes seriously. She's Burlesque in the finest sense of the term and her large audience appreciates her as much for her acting skills as they do her knife skills.

It's been a whole lot of fun reading these comments. I too have heard of making bread pudding with donuts and it was a Southern recipe. Oh well, nothing succeeds like excess.....

It's all so grotesque. I don't watch her show - she just seems oddly phony, something that can come from seeming, or being just "too" southern. Her accents seems awfully thick, as if she ever left her home town, ever. It's fine that she's got a southern accent but most of my friends from the south just don't layer it on that thickly.

The "meal" isn't a meal, and isn't exactly cooking. A year from now, I expect to see it in the freezer case when they "brand' her crap and sell it as a frozen breakfast "treat". Doughnut sandwiches. Dear gods.

"With this she served baked garlic cheese grits, yogurt parfait, and chocolate chip pancakes with cinnamon (whipped) cream."
indygal, please tell me you're joking. I can't take too much more disappointment (after finding out that Ben and Jerry really aren't selling "Yes, Pecan!"

That is one is the most disgusting things i've seen in a while. The mere fact this woman has a television show, and that people are actually salivating over this garbage, is living testament to the state of American health.

Cheers to your heart attack!

P.S. Paula Deen stinks, the best chef in the world is Gordon Ramsey.
