Talk about a heart-stopper.
The donut burger – a bacon cheeseburger with a buttered Krispy Kreme glazed donut standing in for a bun – is becoming a hit on the fair circuit and among some far-out foodies.

Pioneered in the South and popularized by Food Network host Paula Deen, it was a big hit at this year’s Big E fair in Massachusetts. Fairgoers bought about 1,000 “Craz-E Burgers” each day of the fair’s 17-day run, which ended Sunday, organizers said.
