4-star burger without the doughnut

User: Anonymous User Rating:
When I saw Paula Deen making this on her show, I thought "No way, she's not going to do that." But she did. When I mentioned it to my fiancee, he seemed to think it might not be too bad, so he said I should make it. And he told me "Don't deviate from the recipe, though." SO, I made the burger with the doughnut for the bun. Something is just weird about it. We couldn't figure out if we liked it or not. So we took off the doughnut and just ate the burger, and the burger was actually really good! It was the mixture of the sweet doughnut and the savory burger that was throwing us off. So, I give the burger 4-stars. But next time I'll skip the doughnut and try the English Muffin instead.
Hmm

Lady's Brunch burger? Ha! This is actually a modified "Luther burger" and she didn't come up with the idea, so don't blame her. I first heard of it on The Boondocks, episode 10, season 1 and I didn't even think it was real. Anyway, a real Luther Burger is better, but it's even worse for you. Cut a Krispy Kreme donut in half then grill the inside of it and make the burger with the glazed side inwards. That way you don't mess up your fingers. Make the burger with a huge patty, grilled onions, cheddar cheese, and a massive amount of bacon. Do a google image search for Luther Burger to see what it looks like.

I would really like to see a real review. Thats why I looked at them to begin with. I dont care for eggs on my burger, just wanted to see if the burger patty part of the recipe & on an english muffiin was good or not. Obviously 99% of the reviews here are from people that didnt even try the recipe and have nothing better to do than complain about their life.

I liked it as a morning burger. I used a poppy seed bagel, and I cut the amount of beef down a little, but it was still big so i spit it with my girlfriend. i don't recommend using donuts unless you want to have a heart attack.

What a novel idea! Leave it to Paula to come up with this one. The sausage is the best, and Paula is the best! To all you "health" nuts, all your efforts will be to no avail as you will all die young. In the meantime, you will not have enjoyed life. So, go back to gnawing on your carrot while you nag at your hungry family. Paula is number one because her recipes are tops!

Are you sure you are all adults in here? Give me a break, people. We're all capable of making our own decisions. No one is twisting your arm and forcing you to make this atrocious burger. Quit crying, you babies. But if you must...may I offer you my hanky? No I insist. You can even keep it for your future reviews. As for the caloric and fat content, oh big whoop. I am willing to wager that most of you guys eat as many calories in one single meal anyway. Get real. Plus if you lead an active lifestyle like I do, having a treat like this once in awhile won't hurt at all. By the way, I made this burger twice: one with hamburger and one with a sausage patty. Sausage wins hands down. I think I'll make a third this weekend.

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!
Sausage vs. Hamburger

User: null from null, null User Rating:
If you are interested in using the doughnuts as a bun, I suggest that you try a sausage patty instead of the beef hamburger patty. I personally can't have a burger without ketchup, but there is no way I would eat ketchup with doughnuts (gross!)... so I tried a sausage patty instead and it's really good! I also put some maple syrup on it as well and that was really good! Totally bad for my heart, but it was a great meal! :)

For everyone who is griping about Paula's recipes and whether or not, this is a open forum or whatever. I suggest you read at the top of the page. RECIPE REVIEW. Give your review and then go.. For the people who say that FN is being irresponsible for letting Paula make this recipe, What are you people 4 years old? We are all GROWN PEOPLE who make our own choices. Its just like the people who sue Mcdonalds for making them fat. Get real. I made it for a treat for my Mom . She loved it. I certainly wouldnt make it an everyday thing. People need to start making their own decisons and then take the consquences instead of finding someone to blame .

This is an open forum for reviews and opinions. However, comments especially rude ones made by those hiding behind"anonymous" should not even be considered. If someone wants to make and eat this disgusting thing, that's their choice. But hopefully, most of the food network fans have more common sense than that.

Anyone who has watched Paula knows that she seldom makes anything low cal/nutritious. I don't think it's fair to knock her recipes for this reason alone. Of course you wouldn't want to eat like Paula cooks all the time, but once in a while won't hurt. Watch Ellie if you're looking for healthy.

I know everyone is entitled to their opinion and I agree-"if you don't like it, don't make it". BUT, you have to draw the line when producers are allowing anything to be thrown together just to make a show. The other recipes were very basic so I guess we needed some sort of over endulgent POP. That said the only way paula and her producers are going to know how viewers feel is to leave your comments. Unfortunately many of the FN stars that have been on for many years are losing their edge and are having to resort to something!

Just my two cents worth, but is Brunch not a combination word made up of Breakfast and Lunch? The meal is a combination of both as well. I have seen this very combination of foods on a Brunch Buffet. Don't tell me that you have never on occasion had a couple of donuts for breakfast and then later in the day enjoyed burger for lunch? What's the difference in the Health Values? It's all ends up the same place. Don't criticize Paula for suggesting putting them together as one.

I was raised in the South and love Paula's enthusiasm and have tried many of her recipes. I also love a good splurge every once in a while but this recipe should be added to "Paula's Hall of Shame," along with Krispy Kreme bread pudding and deep fried mac and cheese. My calculations put this burger (using donuts for buns) at over 1200 calories and 100 (!) grams of fat. It's just food porn. She really needs some help from her writers when she goes off the deep end like this. I DON'T expect Paula's show to focus on healthy recipes - it wouldn't be Paula - but this is just gross.

I hope you know a good cardiologist, because you are going to need one if you eat this burger. I am usually amazed when I watch Paula's show. I just can't believe that someone actually cooks with all that butter, mayo, and sugar. I was horrified when I watched her making this burger. It made me sick in my stomach. I think Paula is a sweet and wonderful person, but her recipes need to be toned down. I don't understand how the Food Network allowed this disturbing episode to be aired. Many viewers look up to the Food Network to learn how to cook, so they should show some responsibility. Our nation has a very serious problem with obesity and related diseases. Please don't make it worse! We need more healthy food shows.

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.

I have seen a burger with a fried egg on top before and have tried this, while pregnant, and loved it. I would probably not use a donut as a bun, but it was just an option. I have to admit that the past year or so I have not enjoyed the Paula Deen show as much as in the beginning and I agree that it is over the top lately. Having said that, I simply record the show and if it interests me I watch it and if it doesn't then I delete it. I would not watch it and then complain about it. I'm on your side, Paula!!

Wow, there are certainly some haters out there. Paula can make whatever she wants, it's her show. Some people need to seriously lighten up. There's nothing wrong with enjoying something terribly fattening once in a while and the lady's brunch burger was indeed sinful. The food network has a variety of shows that liken to individual tastes. This platform is for rating the recipe, not bashing the host for what recipes she decides to share with her audience. I liked the combination of sweet and savory, thank you Paula I love your show and will always be a devoted fan.

OK since nobody else has actually tried this to review it, let me just say to the person who calculated the calories & came up with 800-something: If you look at the calorie & fat content of most entrees served at most chain restaurants, they are comparable to this (example: Chili's), including the salads. Having said that, I think Paula goes WAY over the top anymore. I used to like her, but like Rachael Ray, they have taken a few endearing qualities & gone too far with them so as to make her extremely annoying much of the time (Paula's Party is the worst, with the cackling and the "ya'lls".)

First off I have to say that Paula has a lot of great recipes. I give this a rating of 3 stars for entertainment value. I have to say you rock Paula for making something so innocent and yet a disgusting combination of flavors into a weekend of laughter after watching the show and reading these reviews. It has been hilarious. Granted most people won't make a burger between 2 donuts but if that's how Paula likes her burgers - o well. Who knows, maybe she will feature sour cream and melted butter over ice cream on her next episode. That's her choice. All I can say is I have never laughed so hard.

Having never left a review before, I have to ask, "What happened here?" I thought this was for reviewing recipes after trying them. Life is so short and it's so sad to see that people are actually spending time in front of the television, watching something that they obviously hate, and then taking the time to write a nasty review about it. Might I suggest that those of you who are so angry here, turn off the TV and do something with your life, what little precious time we have here, and find something to do that makes you happy.

To those of you who are comfortable eating a huge, massive burger with a fried egg and bacon on top of a glazed donut "bun" and are more concerned with its flavor than its nutritional value, you're entitled to that opinion. However, since this is an open forum REVIEW board, those of us who think that eating such a vulgar, revolting display of saturated fat, obesity-forming, heart-disease-inviting, vile concoction should be allowed equal say. We are Food Network viewers, too. We are invited to share our opinions, too. Don't forget that. I watch Paula Deen out of horrid fascination - I mean, some of the things this woman comes up with...I wouldn't eat her food if I were on the verge of death. THAT IS MY OPINION. (And I agree with the poster who wrote that this woman has become a caricature of herself.) Honestly people of America: think of it --- a hamburger on a glazed donut. Need I say more??

Did any of you actually try the recipe? This is a recipe review area, not a place to make sarcastic remarks. If you can't review the recipe, take your comments somewhere else, or just don't make them. Although the doughnuts were a little over the top, the burger, egg and bacon were excellent; especially on a toasted muffin or bagel. Thank you, Paula, for ALL of your recipes. You're a pleasure to watch.

I have one question for the first reviewer of this recipe, as well as one point to make. My question: Why in the world are you even watching Paula Deen's show if you are concerned about healthy cooking? She makes no secret of the fact that she cares more about taste than healthiness of foods. As her aprons say, "I'm your cook, not your doctor!" My point: The Food Network does not claim to be a channel or website with only healthy foods. Thus, they have the perfect right to display recipes that may not be healthy, or that may even be downright unhealthy. The people who read the reviews of recipes are smart enough to realize that a burger surrounded by two doughnuts is not in any way healthy. What we want to know is: how does it taste? Reading your review wastes our time and misses the point of the review process. Unless you ate, please don't rate!
