The Donut Burger is not a myth or culinary legend: it really exists. Originally invented by the late R&B singer, Luther Vandross when he ran out of hamburger buns and instead placed his delicious meaty burger between two glazed donuts, the donut burger and its assorted variations, such as the Bacon and Egg Brunch Burger really do exist. Imagine how much more popular, controversial (and deadly) McDonald’s would be if only they dared to add a McDonut Burger to their morning breakfast menu? Mmmm . . . so tasty!
I’m quite certain that I’m far from the only one who wanted to call “Foul!” at the conclusion of last night’s Top Chef, when Spike was eliminated over Lisa. I mean WTF? Lisa rightfully earned a place in the bottom group on nearly every challenge and, while Spike had a few stumbles, he is clearly the superior chef – and a better sport too, if you ask me. Although, now that I am thinking about it he did pull that passive aggressive “Bread, lettuce and tomato” snafu over his competitors during the “To Protect and To Serve” episode a few weeks back. That was kind of a dick move, actually. But anyway, except for Lisa I’m happy with having Richard, Antonia and Stephanie (my fave to win) in the finals. I can’t wait for the reunion show (hopefully next week?) to hear all the shit talk that goes down!
In other culinary news, I had one of those new Supreme BLT Chicken Sandwiches (crispy style) for lunch at McDonalds and it was fucking awesome.
I’m a pacifist as a general rule, but here’s one “War” that I consider to be totally worth getting behind: McDonald’s Plans to Battle Starbucks by opening high-end coffee bars in their restaurants! I say Bring it on, McDonald’s!!
