If you're not completely sick after watching the hot dog eating contest, Crave Shack on Steinway Street in Astoria has a triple-dog dare for your stomach: a cheeseburger with a glazed doughnut bun and halal (turkey) bacon. They say that it's the first doughnut burger to hit NYC. Finally, someone heeded the call! This bad boy is only $6.50, and at least you can say the turkey bacon part is kind of healthy, right?
The Crave Doughnut Burger boasts 1/4 lb. of beef and "Crave sauce," and it's a pretty much foolproof guarantee that if you eat it this weekend, you'll have to miss work on Tuesday. Sure, it'll be horrible indigestion, but it's still a four-day weekend! Also, say "world cup" before 5:30 p.m. and get 10% of your order from now until July 11th. [Via GrubStreet]
