Recipes: August 2005 Archives

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.
