Dubbed a "cardiologist's worst nightmare" by ABC News, this burger is 1,000 calories (4,200 kJ). Their version consists of a Krispy Kreme doughnut around a black Angus patty, melted cheese, and two strips of bacon. The Gateway Grizzlies baseball team of Sauget, Illinois have served the Luther Burger at their ballpark. The Daily Telegraph reported that Mulligan's may be progenitor of the burger when the owner substituted the doughnuts when running out of buns. Mulligan's, a suburban bar in Decatur, Georgia, serves the Luther Burger in addition to its " hamdog".
This origin is mentioned in a January 2006 episode of animated series The Boondocks, " The Itis", in which the character Robert Freeman creates a restaurant which serves the burger. According to legend, the burger was named for and was a favorite (and possible invention) of singer, songwriter and record producer Luther Vandross.
