The Krispy Kreme Cheeseburger: So Wrong It's Right? Or Just Plain Wrong?
Oh my god, Krispy Kreme cheeseburgers! I pondered this for a minute to answer the question asked in the title. I came up with “so wrong it’s right” because I would totally try one of these things. Of course at least one very articulate person in the comments decides that this food, which is clearly a one-time only insane food item = fat people. At least I’m guessing that’s what this means.
fatty mcfatfat fatties YOU PEOPLE ARE SICK FATT FAAT UR SICK FATTIES
Okay, dude, duly noted. These donuts are responsible for the existence of fat people, and you hate fat people. Well, I hate you, so we’re even! Some other comments:
My heart attack just had a heart attack
I’m still trying to decide if these are just plain crazy or just plain crazy delicious.
At first glance I was a bit sickened. Now I’m intrigued to try one out.
I would try a bite. I might regret it, but I would try it. As seen on sallysimpleton‘s livejournal.

Speaking as a fat chick, that sounds disgusting. But then I’m just not a cheeseburger person. Meat, yes. Cheeseburger, no.
I do not like Krispy Kreme- they over glaze everything.
That- it is just plain wrong, it is. Bacon cheeseburger abuse, it is. What did those poor beef patties and slices of cheese ever do to those sadistic chefs? :P
I look at that and I feel slightly nauseated. It’s just too much, you know?
I’m the first to admit that I love doughnuts beyond all reason, but even I feel this is taking it a little far. But only a little. I *have* tried the maple bacon doughnut, after all.
And why is everyone posting about doughnuts today? It’s like some kind of magical collective unconscious deal. I love it! But it’s making me hungry…
I like cheeseburgers. I like donuts. However, I have absolutely no desire to combine the two, and the thought of it makes me a little sick.
Paula Deen (for whom I feel a sick, voyeuristic fascination; I know should look away, but I just can’t…) did something like this awhile back, and I think it actually trumped the time she wrapped green beans in bacon and deep-fried them. Gotta have your vegetables, y’all! Anyway, I have to agree with the “slightly nauseated” comment above. This is just wrong, wrong, wrong: too much of too many varieties of grossness in too much quantity. And I’m not just saying that because I’m vegan, either!
I just threw up in my mouth a little.
I have tried these and although I thought they seemed like a bad idea they actually tasted fantastic. It is too much though and I don’t think I would probably ever eat one again.
My daughter and I call them “Elvis Burgers” because we think it seems like something he would of had his maid make him at 3:00 a.m. for a “snack” :D
I’m a fatty but I can’t imagine eating one of those. I like donuts on occasion — and by that I mean that I get a craving every few months, down about 3 or 4, then don’t eat any until the next craving in 3 or 4 months. I like cheeseburgers if they aren’t too huge and overwhelming. I just can’t imagine eating a cheeseburger with a Krispy Kreme as the roll.
That just looks like major ick. I like donuts a few times a year, or did before I found out I couldn’t eat gluten anymore, and I like cheeseburgers and probably have two or three of those a month (on alternative grain buns), but the combination just sounds ew to me. But I know some people love the chocolate bacon thing and I don’t get that, either.
I LOVE Krispy Kremes.
I like cheeseburgers.
But the thought of a Krispy Kreme cheeseburger? Makes me want to vomit. Or maybe not vomit. It makes me want to engage in an involuntary personal protein spill!
The idea sounds gross… and yet terrifyingly, there’s a slim chance it might taste nice (and then make me very, very sick). Therefore, I would rather not try a bite.
I have had a foodie livejournal friend try one once, I think he thought they were okay but not something to do often.
The most ‘awful’ (in the sense of ‘going to make trolls laugh and throw Fat Grenades at me’) food I’ve ever tried was a deep-fried oreo. It was also awful in the sense of DISGUSTING. To my taste, at least. EW.
I love cheeseburgers.
I enjoy a donut about once every five or six months.
I couldn’t imagine combining them any more than I would seriously consider combining apricots and mashed potatoes.
There are some awesome things that should just never be combined. These are two of them.
Nope, wouldn’t eat it. Totally gross.
Damn! Now I want to mix dried apricots with mashed tomatoes to see what it tastes like.
Actually, I think they look durned tasty. Not for everyday, and I’d like mine with a veggie patty, please, but really, the only improvement I can think of is if they made the donuts baby-flavored.
Oh heck yes I’d eat one, if only because everyone around me would be squealing, “Ewww, grossity gross gross!”
Its the same reason that prompted me to try a bacon chocolate bar.
donuts=good
burgers=good
together=vomit
I’m a vegetarian. But if they found a way to make it with just egg and cheese, I would have one.
Oh wait, they already do. And they call it the McGriddle! HA!
No, but seriously. The donut gets a bad rap sometimes, but I know that a glazed Krispy Kreme has 90 or so calories in it. The bacon, cheese and beef are a different matter. I’m sure it would be good. I’d say you’re looking at possibly a 900 calorie sandwich? If that’s the way you want to spend it, then by all means…proceed!
umm….i’d take a bite and try it atleast. then afterwards, I would go workout and eat sensibly for like the rest of the week.
this is the type of meal you eat like once a year (or maybe decade)!!!
I’d try it, if only so I could say I did. Not a food that anyone should live on exclusively for the rest of their lives, but then that’s equally true of lettuce.
Lori: “I like cheeseburgers. I like donuts. However, I have absolutely no desire to combine the two, and the thought of it makes me a little sick.”
+1 to this entire quote
Totally, completely gross.
A deep fried snickers bar, though… maybe.
I’m fat and I don’t eat meat nor have I ever had a Krispy Kreme donut. I wonder what happened… Anyway, even if these were veggieburgers, the whole thing seems gross to me. Maybe if the donuts weren’t glazed and they were just the plain cakey stuff it wouldn’t be so bad.
Though I’m not a terribly big fan of Krispy Kreme, the idea of this concoction is a lil intriguing in the same way jamboree mentioned fried snickers bars are intriguing.
On that note…I tried a bite of the fried twinkie once at the fair, and it tasted like paper. Too much hype, too little actual goodness.
Meh.
I loooooove Krispy Kreme hot glazed. I love cheeseburgers. This, not so much. I’d try a bite, just to say I did. I’d rather have them separately, though.
I’m going for “gross,” but I don’t really like donuts or cheeseburgers. Or bacon. My skinny roommate loves all three, so I wonder if she’d like it…
Wow does that look revolting…but then again, there’s that whole chain of restaurants in LA dedicated to fried chicken and waffles, so who knows, it might not be quite as horrific to eat as it is to look at.
I’d be intrigued to try it, just once…but the sugar alone would kill me. Maybe half of one, to see what it tasted like.
It’s one of those, it’s either extremely, over-the-top, Mouthwateringly GOOD, or extremely, vomit-at-the-touch-of-the-tongue BAD. XD And that all depends on the person.
To state Martha Stewart
“That is not a good thing!”
I would definitely eat one of these! My only question is: What on earth type of sauce comes on this? Ketchup? BBQ?
Also, chicken and waffles is one of the most amazing food combinations ever. Roscoe’s is sooo good.
I know some people like to “mix sweet and savory”. Apparently that’s an avante-garde thing to do. I was never into it, but to each her own! That said, I will try anything, as long as it’s vegetarian.
Um, that’s a little scary. But then, Krispy Kremes kinda frighten me, just on their own. Maybe I should see a therapist about that, and not bother anyone else with my issues.
This reminds me of when I went to Wisconsin, and BTW no offense to Wisconsin people. However, they had like deep fried candybars on their menu, and I was like “How can people eat this?!” That’s how I feel about Krispy Kreme Cheesburgers. Maybe it’s cause I have less of a sweet tooth than most people, but the idea just makes me feel nauseous.
I keep going back and forth on whether this is delicious or repulsive. I think it might be like a car wreck, where you don’t want to see the carnage but you can’t look away at the same time.
Either way, I think this may be the eighth deadly sin. (way too big for ‘gluttony’)
This is something I might have tried at one point. I used to like sausage McGriddles, so same thing really.
Jackie — as a Wisconsinite living in Minnesota, no offense taken. Fried candy bars always seemed a little effin’ wacky to me. Thing is, they do that not only at the Wisconsin State Fair, but the Minnesota State Fair, too. I blame our long winters. Cabin fever has made an entire region of crazy people…
You couldn’t pay me to eat that.
I’m with Ily: I’m also vegetarian, but even considering it as sweet doughnut + grilled cheese is making me feel a little nauseous. I just don’t go for the combination of sweet and savoury.
I come from the land where they invented the deepfried Mars Bar* (Scotland) and I still don’t think this is going to find a big market, somehow.
*I’ve never tried one, partly because I’m sure I would like it if I did, and I refuse to be a stereotype. Although I’ve heard that sometimes they fry them in with the fish, which sounds like a really, really bad idea. Fishy chocolate!
I’m voting just plain wrong, probably because I don’t like glazed donuts, too sweet, I like the occational, as in once a year or so cake donuts though. And I don’t eat cheesebugers (or beef) period.
I do like sweet and savory together, though, this, like Iron Chef’s fish icecream, just makes me feel mildly ill from the thought of the combination.
P.S. Ohioans do deep fried candy bars too…never had one though…
Dude! I can’t even stand to have maple syrup touch my bacon. Not a big fan of ground beef and cheese, doubly not a big fan of anything sweet near anything savory.
This isn’t a fatty thing, this is a “some people will eat anything” thing.
LOL.
In my family, we call Krispy Kremes ‘Fat Pills,’ because that’s what they look like. And what they are. lol.
But really, what do we expect from a country that invented a deep fried Snickers bar??
lmao.
I think I would prefer the chocolate-enrobed bacon, but it sounds kind of intriguing, I must admit.
My husband decided to dip bacon in the chocolate fountain at our last holiday party. It was very popular!
Omg. Sorry, when I saw this I couldn’t help but think about Jim Gaffigan’s bit about the donut/ham hamburger – two donuts sandwiching a ham sandwich on top of a hamburger!
He was JOKING, Krispy Kreme! Gah! XD
red wine a sleeping pills.
Electrical appliances and sea water.
Paul Mcartney and Heather Mills.
Curry and mint tooth paste.
Donnuts and cheese burgers.
What do you think of my list of things that SHOULD NOT GO TOGETHER
yeah, I think I have to vote bacon cheezeburgers=good, and doughnuts=good. but soo not a good plan togther. I can’t imagine it tasting good. Is there anyone here with more data? I’d love a firsthand experience. Bacon chocolate, though, I’ve had and is delicious.
Oh, gross! Even if I weren’t vegetarian, I don’t think I have the iron stomach for one of those. I have to eat my hubby’s veggie chili with a side of Tums as it is!
OH GODS AND BODKINS, IT’S BLINKING AT ME!
You know that “beef” patties are really the remnants of mobsters that the mafia scrapes out of wood chippers, right?
I would definitely try this, just to say I did. Plus, there is a high chance it would be delicious!
BTW, it doesn’t seem like this has anything to do with the Krispy Kreme company, Google made them for someone’s birthday. How nice!
