Am I missing something?
In the commentary on the "Luther Burger" (bacon cheeseburger on a Krispy Kreme bun) -- both on this blog and in cyberspace generally -- there is a widespread assumption that eating this thing is self-destructive if not suicidal.
Maybe it is. But is it more suicidal than eating a bacon cheeseburger on a white bread bun followed by a Krispy Kreme donut for dessert? I mean, is there something about the hamburger patty sitting on the donut -- or perhaps re-heating the donut -- that causes a synergistic mega-release of fat?
Unless I'm missing something, the cheeseburger plus the donut has to be worse than the cheeseburger on the donut, which at least cuts out the white bread.
So how come, when cheeseburgers are discussed, you don't here people say: "well, eat that if you must, but whatever you do, don't follow it up with a Krispy Kreme for dessert! That is if you want to live to see the sun rise."

You are definitely missing something.

Well, sure. And three bacon cheeseburgers without a doughnut (or a dozen Krispy Kremes without the cheeseburger) would be worse than both. But that's not the point.
The point is that the Luther Burger is, as a self-contained unit, one of the most dangerous things you can hold in your hands.
Think in UCC terms: what's the most fattening widget? The bacon cheeseburger, the Krispy Kreme, or the bacon cheeseburger on a Krispy Kreme? Yeah, I thought so.
I should also mention that the Luther Burger is named for Luther Vandross, who did not die of a heart attack, but suffered poor health in his final years because of his diet.
I still want to try one. Spread some peanut butter on that bad boy, too.

All this talk of donuts and cheeseburgers is making me hungry. I don't suppose you brought any donuts with you to the office today.
Really, any goodies will do. Just let me know.

And I thought the Luther burger was named after Lex Luthor, since only such an evil genius would come up with such an insidious food item in the first place.
How about a Luther burger a la mode?
