Between the cream puffs and everything you can get on a stick, food at the Wisconsin State Fair is a dish best served over the top. Ladies and gentlemen, meet 2010's early favorite: the Krispy Kreme Cheeseburger.
Sold at the Machine Shed tent at the fair, the $5 burger features the normal patty and melted cheese, but with a Krispy Kreme doughnut for a bun. For an extra dollar, patrons can top the burger with last year's big hit: chocolate-covered bacon on a stick (furthering the debate on whether the new dish is dinner or dessert).
The calorie count: 1,000, according to Nathan Morrissey, executive chef at the Machine Shed.
What's the burger's appeal?
"Well, let's see," Dave Owens of Appleton said at the fair's opening day Thursday. "It's a doughnut with chocolate-covered bacon and a cheeseburger put together. How could you go wrong?"
Owens' nephew, 9-year-old Harrison Smith, also of Appleton, had a bite of his uncle's burger and had to have one for himself.
"It's really good," he said.
Todd Whittaker of Fond du Lac came to the State Fair with his wife, Dawn, and their 16-month-old daughter, Bren. They were interested in trying the new burger after seeing a similar product on an episode of the Travel Channel show "Man vs. Food."
Dawn Whittaker was the first to take a bite.
"It's good! It's different," she said. "Kind of a little salty and sweet all at once."

Eat one a day and nothing else and lose a few pounds...
Awesome.
Donut Cheeseburger with Chocolate covered Bacon ping
I sure don't like them combined anywhere but my tummy. But I am thrilled every time I see something like this. It is a blow for individual freedom and a strike against the food nazis. (Ever seen Yahoo's “Eat this, not that” columns on their face page? Makes me want to buy the worst thing I can every time.)
Another thing that trips my trigger is the pumpkin cannons. Another non sanctioned activity against the state. As long as people are engaged in such activities the hive mentality loses. Freedom wins.

Damn right. No one brought her a dozen.
Who would eat this shite?!
That sounds absolutely disgusting to me. I wouldn't eat one on a bet. I have no beef with those that do, just not for me.
GAAK!......
Must be the same booth going from fair to fair.
“Michelle will not be happy to learn about this.”
Nope, and neither will Mika. I predict that next week, the boys on “Morning Joe” will make a point to bring this up. Repeatedly.
Are you kidding? I'm about to check out the VA State Fair site to see if I can get one there.
Is that a photo of Obammy when he was a teen? ;^)
SHE’S FAT!
It’s all Bush’s fault!
I was there yesterday. The best meal is from the Wisconsin Cattlemen’s Association booth. They serve a fresh grilled ribeye steak sandwich that is the best.
