I like lasagna. I also like burgers. But the thought of eating a “lasagna bun burger” damn near makes me want to hurl.<\/p>\n

What is a “lasagna bun burger”? It’s a meatball-like patty, slorped in marinara sauce and melted cheese, and encased between two slabs of breaded, deep-fried lasagna.<\/p>\n

Oh… and it’s served with fries, of course. Nothing like a greasy, fatty side dish for a greasy, fatty entree!<\/p>\n

Naturally, it’s staggeringly popular. According to NBC…<\/a><\/p>\n

“The Lasagna Bun Burger, the latest installment in PYT\u2019s perpetually one-upping \u201cBurger of the Week\u201d series, has been around for less than a week, but it\u2019s already captured the imagination of a class of hearty eaters driven by innovation and disregard for calorie counts.<\/p>\n

…Up, Malcolm and PYT manager\/partner Sarah Brown are all unable to commit to a calorie count for the limited-time special, which has sold out each day. Suffice it to say it\u2019s \u201dprobably not for those who are trying to keep their summer swimsuit figure,\u201d Brown said.<\/p>\n

What exactly about the Lasagna Bun Burger, which has already garnered nationwide curiosity and coverage, appeals to so many people? Brown speculates it\u2019s just the draw of novelty comfort food.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you take comfort food to a creative and wacky level, it sells so much better,\u201d said Malcolm.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Creative and wacky”? “Disgusting” is more like it. I’m amazed that it hasn’t been added to the “This is Why You’re Fat<\/a>” collection yet. It’s probably just a matter of time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
