This title was bestowed upon the Luther Burger by Real Life comics.
Inspired by an episode of the Boondocks, a few brave souls from the heart of the Valley undertook the monumental task of creating and eating a Luther Burger. It consists of one pound of ground beef, cheese, grilled onions, and five strips of bacon. Sounds over the top? Replace the buns with Krispy Kreme donuts and you've got yourself a Luther burger. And a shortened life span.
For those that are health-conscious or living-conscious, the Luther Burger probably isn't something you want to eat on a regular basis (or at all). It has a little over 1,000 calories and over 45 grams of fat per serving. LAisters, keep in mind that the Chipotle steak burrito has roughly 1,300 calories and 55 grams of fat (and around 4,000 mg of Sodium). Without chips. Legends (aka Wikipedia) tell us that the Luther burger causes an impairment of basic motor functions, what is commonly referred to as the "itis." This burger is also reputed to have been a favorite of the great Luther Vandross, who might have had a hand in its creation. Could this burger be the secret to his silky smooth voice?

Too much, never too much, never too much, never too much...
That looks so wrong, yet so, so right.
I want one... NOW.
It has a little over 1,000 calories and over 45 grams of fat per serving.
Assuming it's 90% lean (and it probably isn't), the 1 lb of ground beef alone is around 48 grams of fat. Add another 40 grams for the bacon, 12 for the Krispy Kreme, and 14 for the cheese and you've had enough total fat for two whole days.
It's also somewhere around 1,800 calories by my calculations. Sweet merciful crap.
I did put away a Prime Rib $6 Burger the other day, so I'm certainly not preaching about the ills of the Burger Wars. Keep 'em coming, boys!
"The Baton Rouge (La.) Advocate conducted nutritional analyses 828 calories with 50 fat grams for the burger"
