You can eat anything at The Wisconsin State Fair, evidence the Krispy Kreme Cheeseburger.
Sold at the Machine Shed tent at the fair, the $5 burger features the normal patty and melted cheese, but with a Krispy Kreme doughnut for a bun. For an extra dollar, patrons can top the burger with last year’s big hit: chocolate-covered bacon on a stick (furthering the debate on whether the new dish is dinner or dessert).
The calorie count: 1,000, according to Nathan Morrissey, executive chef at the Machine Shed.
Todd Whittaker of Fond du Lac, Wis., came to the State Fair with his wife, Dawn, and their 16-month-old daughter, Bren. They were interested in trying the new burger after seeing a similar product on an episode of the Travel Channel show “Man vs. Food.”
Dawn Whittaker was the first to take a bite.
“It’s good! It’s different,” she said. “Kind of a little salty and sweet all at once.”
Some at the fair tried the Krispy Kreme burger after stumbling on it by accident. Dan Hypki of South Milwaukee bought one, he said, “because it’s just odd.” Oddly ood some say.
