Conspicuous Consumption
Have you ever been photographed sat on a balcony eating a croissant; or wallowed in luxury just for the sake of it? What's the most ostentatious thing you ever seen or done?

Krispy Kreme burger
My wife loves cooking, and loves watching the good food channel on the tellybox and therefore we stumbled across 'Man vs Food'. If you don't already know of it, a bloke called Adam gets increasingly fatter as he travels across Themerica tackling food challenges and eating the unhealthiest (and therefore most amazingest) food as 'filler' in the program.
One of the shows had him eating a burger where the bun was replaced with a Krispy Kreme original glazed ring donut/doughnut (cut in half and toasted on the non-glazed side). Mrs McBingobangobongo decided that she was having one for her bday brekkie.
So we had one, rump steak burger, crispy bacon, mature cheddar and the do(ugh)nut plonked on either side, all the sugar melting and running into the juices.
By the power of Grayskull it was chuffin amazing, by far the best burger I've ever eaten. I can heartily recommend giving it a go.
................
oh and I have a friend who bought one of his Porsches and his yacht off ebay (both of his Porsches and his M3 spit fire out of the exhaust when he does something to the 'mix' whilst driving, prolly not good for it but it is brilliant to see the faces of the folks behind)...
...and he has 2 trampolines

I'm no hippy, but I find eating "competitions" pretty disgusting considering how many are starving in the world.

Yep, man vs food is brilliant television for gluttons like myself.
I also love attempting food challenges, although I haven't done one since the 100oz Big Dog challenge at Toby Keiths in Vegas two years ago.
On a similar vein to the burger you've written about, the KFC double down
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Down_%28sandwich%29 is marketing genius!

Krispy Kreme Burgers
Are a regular staple of the State Fair hosted by my fair city. I won't touch one myself, but last year when we went to the fair you could hardly turn around without running into a food stall offering the meaty pile. A friend opted for the fried-chicken-style bacon instead; afterward, he said he imagined that was how dying felt.
