There’s the obesity crisis, and then there’s the “Lady’s Brunch Burger” — a half-pound beef patty topped with bacon and egg fried in butter, served with glazed donuts in lieu of a bun if you like. It’s one of the “recipes courtesy Paula Deen” on foodnetwork.com:

Here are some reviews from the site:

Bob Evans or Jimmy Dean sausage patties would be WAY better to use instead of hamburger. Put some BBQ sauce on the sausage then samich them goodies between those Crispy Creams for some sweet, spicy, and savory. Yee haw!

That’s the best idea I have heard since I invented the hard boiled egg and peanut butter sandwich. I had 2 of these with a side order of a defibrillator. Looking forward to my next cholesterol and blood sugar check. I would have given this a five star if it was made with a cream filled long john instead of a glazer. You rule Paula! Viewer for life!

just what the doctor ordered

A half pound burger, a fried egg, 2 strips of bacon, all sanwiched between 2 glazed donughts? Why not go all out and add a slice or two of cheese and use chocolate covered doughnuts?

Hilarious!

Hats off to the evil genius that came up with this preposterously nauseating concoction. It is truly, breathtakingly repellent. I have one question though; why not go for broke and also deep fry the whole hideous mass. Just a thought. In any event, thanks again for the laugh.

Absolutely Delicious!

Can you people get a life and grow up??!! YOU are responsible for what you put in your body, no one has you on a high-chair force feeding this to you. If you think this recipe is too unhealthy, DON’T MAKE IT! That’s your business! You have NO right to force your way of thinking onto others! I personally don’t think there’s anything wrong with indulging once in a while. And when I feel like indulging I would prefer to eat something that is worth the calories & fat … and this is defintely worth every bite!
