CHOCOLATE-COVERED BACON??!!!

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."
I wonder if you can get extra pickles and extra mustard. It certainly looks good.
They sell them at the Gateway Grizzlies baseball games in Sauget, IL. They have since 2005-2006.
I’m sure the food police will issue a cease and desist order to KK for selling this.
Wow, I’d never even thought of chocolate covered bacon.
I want it now !!!!!!
That poor thing lost weight so fast she didn’t even get home to change her dress.
And Muslims will initiate lawsuits against anyone who sells bacon.
