Donut+Hamburger=Delicious

There are some things that shouldn't ever be done. I'm not talking about the Good Morning Burger (18oz ground beef patty, 6-8 tbl. of rich creamery butter, 8 stripes of bacon, 4 slices of ham, and 3 fried eggs), I'm talking about Baseball's Best Burger.
My problem with this isn't that it's a $4.50 heart attack, it's that it can't possibly taste good. A hamburger is savory. It's full of meat, cheese, vegetables, and so forth. Who in their right mind thought that adding a Krispy Kreme original glazed donut as the bun would make it good? The KK original isn't a good bun donut anyway. It's very airy and can be quite sticky, so it wouldn't have the staying power of a typical bun, especially when you start adding condiments like ketchup and mustard. Not only would the flavors completely clash, the hole in the middle would allow things to spill out everywhere. On top of that, they would completely disintegrate the donut holder. While I'm all for gut-bombs, combining the world's most decadent and therefore least good for you donut with a hamburger is like mating cats and dogs. It just shouldn't happen.
