A couple months ago, Google employees made blog headlines by serving cheeseburgers on Krispy Kreme donuts. It turns out that they're not the first to do so. This heart-attack breakfast combo is actually called the Luther Burger (supposedly named after the singer-songwriter, Luther Vandross).
After some quick surfing, I found a plethora of donut-burgers being served at other eateries around the nation.
