The Luther Burger is probably the manliest thing you will ever eat. You will not need to eat for 35 hours after eating one of these. It is ridiculous.
It’s named after singer Luther Vandross, who allegedley invented it, although no-one is quite sure who invented the first one. It’s literally the kind of burger that could kill someone.
It’s essentially:
- Two-thirds of a pound of beef patties.
- Three slices of American cheese.
- One whole pickle (sliced)
- Half an onion (sliced)
- Two slices of tomato.
- Two slices of bacon.
- … served between two halves of a glazed Krispy Kreme donut.
The burger was highlighted in an episode of The Boondocks as something that would put you right to sleep… so much so, that it was served to you on a mattress, so that you could sleep after you eat one. It is that intense.
Check out this video of someone making one. stop motion animation style:
Kinda makes you want one now, doesn’t it? If you’ve tried this epic meal, let us know and we post your picture of the epic treat being consumed by an epic person such as yourself.
Until then, keep it real. Keep it delicious. Keep it Luther.
