There are many things that come to someone's mind when they read or hear "Donut Burger", including "Why?" and "Nope." Instead, I looked at it as an opportunity. I have had pineapple burgers, chorizo burgers, apple burgers, but never a donut burger. There was a gathering of food trucks over at The Centre in Bluffton, OH and I had my chance.
Instead of my normal review, there is really no way I can break this up in explanation. The default burger is a normal patty with cheese and bacon, sandwiched between two full Krispy Kreme donuts. Most donut burgers or sandwiches I have seen only use one donut, cut in half. This is two complete donuts as the bun. They also put the donuts on the griddle to warm it up. Kristina and I had just talked about how much she loves a warm donut. The only way I have had a warm donut was leaving a bag of them in the car on a summer day. Overall, this should not work. This should not be a good burger...but it was.
The patty takes a back seat to the combination of donut glaze and bacon. The donut itself almost melts in your mouth as the glaze washes over the bacon. I do not like candied bacon, but I can take this any day. The salt off the bacon was a great compliment to the sweetness of the glaze. Factor in the cheese, melting on the donut, and add in my love for a cheeseburger...this was a great combination. And while the patty did take a back seat, sort of speak, the patty did not have anything special to offer. That is not necessarily a bad thing for this burger, as too much of a seasoning would take away from this burger, but I do not know if I would've enjoyed a different version of their burgers with this patty.
