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. 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!

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!!

I must tell you, I've been making this for my husband ON HAMBURGER BUNS for 2 decades. He used to get it at Fatburger in Los Angeles. It's his favorite meal of all time, but he only has it once a year. Read the recipe, the donuts are only a option, not a command.

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.
