About
Lois puts the family on a diet, so Peter opens a food truck with a menu designed to undo it, and this is the headline item: a burger built on a split glazed doughnut with jam on both sides of the meat.
I made a version of this years ago and the comments told me I had missed the point, so this is the second attempt, done properly. It still does not work. The problem is not the doughnut, it is the arithmetic of sugar: glaze on the outside, jam under the patty, jam again on the bacon. The beef and the bacon are in there somewhere, and you cannot taste either of them. Four and a half out of ten, and I stand by it.
