The two most evil (and delicious) concoctions on the planet

Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you

The Hamdog (click to enlarge)


This is a hot dog, wrapped in a hamburger patty, deep-fried, and then covered in chili, cheese, onions, and a fried egg.

If that isn't enough, this one will whack you in the head:

The Luther Burger (click to enlarge)


Prepare your coronaries for this one, guys - that's a bacon cheeseburger served on a Krispy-Kreme donut bun.

The same place (Mulligan's, in Decatur, GA) serves both of these. I admire professionalism wherever I see it, and these guys are clearly artery-clogging professionals.

neither sounds good

I think that Hamdog is more of an artery-clogger than the second one...

I think I could at least attempt the second one, but the hamdog looks disgusting.

It's not about the taste, it's about the workout for your heart!

I'd leave the egg off my Hamdog, but then, it's not too different from say, a Slinger.

The Luther Burger, though, gets to not only load you with fat and cholesterol, it also challenges you to develop Type II diabetes.

I'm sure neither is as tasty as say, a Pink's Spicy Polish with chili and cheese, but both are more, ummm, dangerous...

Would you like a side of diabetes-betes with that, sir?

Buffalo Wild Wings has this new sandwich that I am tempted to try... I realize BWW is nothing special, but I do live in Bullhead City...Not much to choose from. We go there for lunch at least twice a week. Lunch special is 10 wings 10 wedges in 10 minutes for $5.50. Hard to beat...

anyways, the sandwich is a cheeseburger piled with pulled pork and onion rings, smothered in BBQ sauce... Just something about it says, "Eat me".

it says something that people will buy a sandwich named after someone who dies of diabetes

I would eat a hamdog. Or rather maybe, split one with someone else. It sounds pretty good to me.

The first one looks awful.

That's a great deal. I go to the BWW on Olive every once in a while for lunch and there is no way they could pull that off. You're lucky if you have your drink in 10 minutes there.

Yuck.

Just read some reviews of these two, and I have thus changed the thread title. The Hamdog is usually referred to be as being very salty - ick. And the Luther Burger sounds like a novelty, but apparently the Krispy-Kreme bun doesn't hold up well and really doesn't have a strong enough flavor to compete against a full-up bacon-cheeseburger.

So the quest for the ultimate artery-clogging lunchfest continues. My current leader is the double juicy nookie burger at The Nook in St Paul. This is two double-thick hamburger patties, each of which is individually stuffed with cheese, followed by cheese on and between the patties. Served with vinegar-dipped fries.

Of the ones I've actually had a chance to try, this is the best:



This is a typical order at Pink's in Los Angeles. The dogs aren't what I'd normally order (a Rosie O'Donnell Long Island dog on the left and a Chicago Polish on the right), and the onion rings are merely very good, but in the upper-left corner is an order of chili fries, which are awesome - particularly when combined with their nacho cheese sauce to make their nacho chili-cheese fries.

I've always referred to this place as the "best hot dogs on the West coast", because I didn't want to presume there weren't better places back East. Well, I've looked for years, and I still haven't seen one in any of say, twenty major Eastern cities I've tried. Their only flaw is that you NEVER wait less than half an hour in that incredible line, and rarely less than an hour.
