Paula Deen on Her Bacon, Doughnut, and Fried Egg Burger

Posted by Robyn Lee, June 5, 2009 at 2:00 PM

On a recent episode of NPR's Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me, butter goddess Paula Deen gives some backstory to her Lady's Brunch Burger that features doughnuts-for-buns, bacon, and a fried egg. Why doughnuts?

Those donuts were there, and the hamburger was there, so I said, "What the heck are we using buns for when we've got these luscious donuts?"

Bless you, Paula.

She also says that this burger has a catch: "It's only one serving per lifetime."

I hate to bust her bubble.....

Give me a break. If you put a burger I made between two donuts I would be insulted and never make another one for you. On the other hand if you don't have a good burger than why not. It sure couldn't be worse than some buns that are out there.

The best "bun" I have ever had for a good hamburger was homemade bread I made that was also grilled on the charcoal fire.

But as I said if you are using a thin tasteless piece of meat cooked indoors on a griddle than why not. There is not any flavor there anyway, you might as well use something as ridiculous as a donut.

A serious hamburger deserves a real bun. To me it's like giving Paula Deen margarine instead of butter. I wonder if she could tell the difference?

This is what's called a Luther Burger. Paula Deen isn't original or even very good. And she endorses Smithfield, a disgusting producer of industrial pork products. Please don't give her any more publicity than she already has.
