RUB BBQ's Donut Burger
The Donut Burger. That's right, RUB BBQ went there. A classic RUB Burger featuring cheese, pickles, and onions, but on a donut. As it was sans bacon, it wasn't quite a Luther Burger (named for the late Luther Vandross), but it was damn tasty.
The last Krispy Kreme donut shop in New York City, the Penn Station branch, has a sign up that says, "Temporarily Closed," so RUB's owner, Andrew Fischel, went with Glazed Donuts from Dunkin' Donuts. It started us thinking about the next step, a double Luther Burger: donut half, burger, bacon, donut half, burger, bacon, donut half. What? Why are you looking at me funny?
