Have you ever had a doughnut burger? All you have to do is start with your typical bacon cheeseburger and change the standard burger bun for a glazed doughnut, slice it in half, flip it around and slightly toast it and there we have it, obesity in America. Mmmm. Buuuurger. Anyway, welcome Ladies & Gentleman on […]
