Cheeseburger purists: Cringe now.

The cheeseburger is flipping off the grill this summer. It's being stuffed into egg rolls and plopped atop salads at Bennigan's; layered on pizzas at Uno Chicago Grill; and — for the strong of stomach — crammed between Krispy Kreme doughnut halves at one stadium.

All in the name of making the nation's most popular entree seem new, again. Burgers have been the top entree order for 28 years, says Harry Balzer, trends watcher at NPD Group.

So, why not fuse 'em with other favorites? "If you can mix two favorites, the combination is more pleasurable than any one — as long as it's not grotesque," says Steven Witherly, a food scientist.

A doughnut and cheeseburger combo is NOT gross? :twitch:

An idea so "out there" it died in Bennigan's test kitchen: Cheeseburger Cones.

Thank goodness for small favors. :lol:

What?!
Cheeseburger fingers. These deep-fried cheeseburger sticks, sold as appetizers in bars, restaurants and supermarkets, were created by Advance Food.

Just about anything deep fried is good :lmao:

What's so weird about cheeseburger pizza? Valentino's back in Lincoln has been making them since I was a kid.

It's called a Luther Burger, originally invented by Luther Vandross when he ran out of buns. I first heard about it when watching The Boondocks. Don't forget the cheddar and bacon.
