New eatery stuffs burger in a waffle

[Honey]

Here's a meal that will certainly test America's hearty appetite for fast food.
One Los Angeles restaurateur has combined two of the country's favourite ingredients to come up with a meal that might not appeal to all taste buds.
The Bruxie food stand serves its burgers with waffles instead of a bun to provide a meal that offers breakfast and lunch on the one plate.
And creator Kelly Mullarney expects the waffle burger to go down well, even with calorie-conscious Californians.


Two for the price of one: The Bruxie burger is served in a breakfast waffle rather than the traditional bun

'It’s street food that’s perfect for breakfast, lunch and dinner, as a dessert, mid-day snack or late-night treat,' he said.
The unusual combination has already won the backing of local foodies.
'It was crazy good,' Nancy Luna, of the Orange County Register wrote in a recent review.
It seems the latest food fad of combining unusual ingredients is sweeping from coast to coast.


Sweet satisfaction: Charles Phoenix shows off his 'cherpumple' dessert - ideal for anyone who can't make up their mind when scanning a restaurant menu

For New York - home of the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building and Grand Central Station - can now lay claim to another monumental construction - the cherpumple.
The three-layered tower of cherry, pumpkin and apple pies coated in 'frosting' is the creation of humourist Charles Phoenix.
'It puts the kitsch in kitchen - it intrigues and horrifies people,' Mr Phoenix told the New York Post.
'The physics of it provide a kind of "will it or won’t it collapse" situation. But if your cherpumple does collapse, you can act like it was meant to happen, and serve it with spoons.'

Looks tasty. They did chicken and waffles, so why not this?

Gross. Let's just stuff some vomit in there and save a step.

I don't find the waffle thing to be nasty ... but that huge smorgasboard cake must go.

What's with all of these news things people are putting together? Yuck yuck

[fgg]

it's better than putting the burger between two donuts ala paula deen.

That's actually known as the "Luther Burger," because singer Luther Vandross (RIP) supposedly didn't have any bread backstage one night, so he used two donuts instead. If that is true, it may explain his weight problems and diabetes.

I can't be the only one who would eat all the food pictured in this thread..surely :p

[*DIVA!]

I'm so disgusted by this!

Gross.

At first it sounded gross, but when I saw the picture it didn't look so bad. The waffles are thin, like Waffle House waffles, somehow that makes it better for me! As long as the burger patty isn't too thick and is good quality beef, I'd try it.

Hell to tha no to that "cherpumple" monstrosity. Un-nessa, to use a Mel Brooks-ism. Mostly though, it doesn't even look good.

Think about eating holiday dinners and all the different things you eat on your plate. For me, dessert always goes on in the first round along with the dressing, turkey, veggies, etc. To me, it's like that, all those different flavors in your mouth at one time. However, I don't like his choices of pies together. Now, if it was sweet potato, custard and cheesecake all together, I'm in! And the waffle thingy looks all right, bread is bread...

[Chilly Willy]

Ew.

[VenusInFauxFurs]

I'm a person that eats all my food on my plate systematically in order of least fave to fave so eating it all is just ick.

Love it when my turkey gravy runs into my sweet potato pie. Ooooh, yum!
