If you’re planning on getting this bad boy for lunch, skip breakfast. Delicious Donuts’ offering is a monstrosity of high-octane ante meridiem goodness built to soak up hangovers and dole out food comas. You already know Delicious has some of the best donuts in the city, so envision two of the shop’s glazed creations bookending a third-pound beef burger, a hash brown patty, bacon, cheese, and a scrambled egg, and you’ve got an idea of what’s in store. The full picture doesn’t fully emerge until you take that first bite, which is also the time you realize you’re going to eat the whole thing. (We recommend a liberal coating of Tapatio.) Delicious is in the process of revamping its menu, and has been offering something similar to this burger on the QT for months. But Burger Week represents the Grand Ave. Breakfast Burger’s formal coming-out party, and it’s important everyone treats that with the solemnity and pageantry it deserves. DIRK VANDERHART
