One of the most fascinating and controversial cooking videos we’ve ever seen is Paula Deen’s Ladies Brunch Burger, a diabolical combination of eggs and bacon on top of a burger, with two sugary glazed donuts as buns.
Now, Paula Deen claims the donut, egg and bacon burger creation is her own, but
southern folks have long enjoyed gobbling up what they call a Luther Burger, a bacon cheeseburger with a donut for a bun, named after the late closeted gay musician Luther Vandross.
Paula describes the donut burger as one serving per lifetime, but if you examine the calories and nutrition behind the burger, it’s no worse than what most Americans eat on a regular basis. I wouldn’t eat it every day, but I wouldn’t recommend eating burgers every day either.
The Ladies Brunch burger and Paula’s gigantic lasanga sandwich came at a time during her career where Paula a lot of flack for her love of southern decadent food.

The video inspired hundreds of parodies and psychedelic remixes where Paula and her friend gobble up the burger with sounds of lions roaring in the background.
Joining us to make this devilishly decadent sandwich is Darienne Lake, from RuPauls’ Drag Race Season 6. Ever since I saw her flawless impersonation of Paula Deen on TV, I had fever dreams of us making this legendary donut burger together.
