I’m not sure why this burger gets such bizarre responses like this? How can this possibly have over 1000 calories in it ? And how can it be much worse than any other regular bacon cheeseburger? A Krispy Kreme glazed donut has 200 calories. The standard Wonder white hamburger bun has 110 calories, most buns have more and some have far more!!! so everything else being the same on any other bacon cheeseburger (burger, cheese, bacon) then one would have to conclude that this only has an extra 90 calories (at its worst), hardly a huge difference when counting the calories of bacon cheeseburgers! LOL!

I searched online for calorie counts and built a Luther Burger accordingly, here’s the breakdown

Krispy Kreme glazed Donut 200 cal
1/4 burger (regular 70/30 beef) 376 cal
1 slice cheddar cheese (on average 60-80 cal) 80 cal
1 serving (3 slices) Oscar Mayer precooked bacon 70 cal (yes I’m looking at the label right here and it says 70 calories per serving, package has 12 slices, 4 servings per package, i.e. 70 cal for three slices, don’t ask me but that’s what it says)
For a grand total of… 726 calories! That is nowhere near the 1000 calories claimed.
I myself have eaten cheeseburgers containing far, far more calories than this! LOL!

The main point to remember is that if the only difference is the donut bun then is this really any worse than any other bacon cheeseburger? When I looked at regular hamburger buns, that makes the calorie difference anywhere between 90-40 calories! An extra 40 claories will kill ya? Come on guys!

I want to try this, think I’ll make some this weekend!

So I made the trek to see this Luther burger… Apparently Mulligan’s has been closed…. FOR TWO YEARS. Now where am I to go in Atlanta to find the Monstrosity?

[...] Sandwich goes, been there done that…yes-I have but with a burger. My husband learned of the Luther Burger about a year ago. So occasionally we will eat cheeseburgers with glazed donut buns. So MUCH [...]

That burger looks awesome! Seriously people, if you don’t like, why comment?
Also, why so many “Americans are the devil, they’re all fat, and have an IQ of 12″… Judging someone generally makes you an unintelligent ass… so, yeah…

I’ll be trying this during a camping trip this week end… btw this burger has less fat and fewer calories than a Big Mac so what’s the big deal, I’d rather have something that tastes amazing instead of a bland burger from a fast food place?!

It also isn’t our fault we come up with awesome foods that kill you… Have you even looked outside, British food is normally high in calories and tastes like the inside of a frogs ass. Now go, enjoy the McDonalds across the street that we were so nice to give you, while you’re at it, grab a Starbucks coffee, donut, go to a Wal-Mart and fund our crumbling economy… not that yours nor the rest of the worlds is any better.

See you in the unemployment line!
