As “Rez” points out, Shepard Smith is appalled by the mere existence of these donut bacon cheeseburgers and gives credit to “a Decatur, Georgia bartender” for discovering them. That would be ol’ Mulligans in Oakhurst if you’re wondering.
Of course, they probably just pulled the info off Snopes.

I LOVE his “there’s a lot of ways to end it” rant at the end.
Don’t the lettuce and tomato make it healthy?
What I want to know is what ever happened to the staid political philosophy that as an American I’m entitled to do whatever the hell I want?
Who’s Shep to judge my devouring of a burger covered in donut icing?! Damn self-righteous TV anchors.
Yeeeeesh! I’m no health-food nut (and I certainly don’t think it’s my business to tell rank strangers what they shouldn’t be eating), but honestly– this makes my arteries plaque over just looking at it.
Best if washed down with A Krispy Kreme shake at Flip Burger Boutique.

Oh, but it is so good. Glad I got to have one. Honestly though, this burger was nothing compared his monstrosity called a “HamDog”.
I think Shepard Smith should address his mascara/eyeliner issue first. HD did him no favors with that look
Shepard and Fox – Ha! You should hear Rush Limbaugh rant about his Oxy-burger. Despite its wink-nod name, the secret ingredient is also donuts.
To me, the greater travesty is that Paula Deen saw fit to steal the idea for her “Lady’s Brunch Burger.” Of course, she does get credit for adding the fried egg.
She probably stole that too. That is part of the HamDog.
Shepard says, “signs of the apocolypse.” HAHAHAHAHAHA. Now that’s just funny.
Speaking of Shepard, every time I see him, I think of that old Don Henley song, “Dirty Laundry,” these lyrics in particular:
“We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who
Comes on at five
She can tell you ’bout the plane crash with a gleam
In her eye”
And these:
“Can we film the operation?
Is the head dead yet?
You know, the boys in the newsroom got a
Running bet
Get the widow on the set!
We need dirty laundry”
The story has gone international . Which means that all the Europeans know about Decatur is that we’ll pay over $2,000 for a beer and we love burger-inspired desserts.
Hmmm interesting: “burger-inspired desserts.” i think of it as a dessert-inspired burger.
either way, it is an inspiring one-stop meal for people on the go.
I never got to eat one of these (the better half fearing I’d die, I suppose), but I thought it would be fun to try. But there’s a minor league ball park that essentially does the same thing, except that they split the donut, grill them and serve it glaze side in. That way your fingers don’t get all sticky. Innovation is a wonder, isn’t it?
