Make Your Own: The Luther Burger
By kmikeym from August 3, 2005
With Rebecca only days away from her fancy dinner promising "special guest food" with "a donut for a bun" Curt and I thought it would be a good idea to teach you all how to make a true southern Luther Burger.
We start with the finest of ingrediants. We used a USDA Grade A ground sirloin patty, a store bought glazed donut, sliced chedder cheese (the actual Luther used white american), and pre-cooked bacon (no mess!).
The ground sirloin patty was of course grilled up on the greatest kitchen appliance known to man, the George Foreman. The great part about the Luther is that is the prep time is so low. The only other thing to do was slice the donut in half and cut the bacon strips. Cutting the donut can be a bit tricky, we recommend one of those bagel cutters, but that's just because we love kitchen gadgets.
Once the burger is complete, just invert the split bun, so the sticky glaze faces inward, and pile on the patty, bacon and cheese. It's amazing how simple this burger is, and yet what a commotion it can cause.

You didn't say how this burger actually tastes!
It looks like the original Luther has a grilled donut, which might hold up better...

I think they grill the finished donut to make it more firm and less sticky. Well, it seemed like it was still pretty sticky when Curt was eating it.

Well, we didn't grill the "bun"... and it was very tasty! It's like burger with pineapple on it, but the sweet comes from the bun.

No, we're not "gunna" die from it. You are wrong. It's actually a really healthly and tasty treat.

Nah, that poster was right, that burger is totally gonna kill you.
But, who cares really? I mean, those last 20 or so years really were going to suck anyway.
Luther Burgers for one and all!!!!

Suggested dessert:
"Zocor fizzie":
1) Grind and mash 2 Zocor®;
2) Sprinkle on top of iced Coca Cola;
3) Drink quickly, praying for life.

YESSS!
I think I am going to do a tiny bit of experiementation... for example, will a cake-style donut improve the overall quality of the sandwich?
I cannae wait.
