Now arriving at the Canadian National Exhibition — wait for it — the doughnut cheeseburger*:
The Doughnut Burger made its debut at the Calgary Stampede, where brave revellers downed the sweet and salty snack, despite its high calorie count.
Now the hefty bacon cheeseburger with two maple-glazed doughnuts for buns will be featured at the CNE in Toronto.
The heart-stopping treat packs a walloping 1,500 calories and is sure to draw at least a few curious consumers.
The maple glazed doughnuts are a nice Canadian touch, eh?
Just for comparison, Micky D’s Big Mac (my guilty little secret) packs 704 calories, and a Harvey’s cheeseburger (Harvey’s is a Canadian burger chain) is a “mere” 460.
Can anyone explain the appeal of these? Is anyone actually tempted? I mean, if I’m going to consume empty calories, I think I would save them for something good.
