eddie murphy’s hamburger story

bonjour hamburglers,

today circus of burgers has a treat for you!  no, you can’t eat it, but you will enjoy the sideshow aspect of it. man of the 80′s 90′s, comedian extraordinaire, eddie murphy and his tres tight, cow skin wears was at the time, literally, king of comedy.  i’ve howled to ‘delirious’ and ripped a gut watching ‘raw’ and even now as the years have affected the way we view things….well ed, (i can call him that), has the same comedic prowess he commanded in the late 80′s.

so, step right up…and have a laugh!

by the way…it may be a black thing but I swear it’s pretty much the same way my mama made burgers when I was wee.

The Luther Burger….why?

ola, dear hamburglers,

during my truth seeking journey, i will undoubtedly encounter fascinating and odd actualities along the way that may help me understand the unending and unshakable hold, this thing we happily named the hamburger, has over us.

i have unearthed, what is called the ‘luther burger’, an unnerving oddity, that upon site, has be known to make  ordinary men & women abandon all intelligence and the most basic of  morals.  is it the work of uncontrollable influence? is it something outside of our comprehension? some have speculated that the luther burger may possess the soul of ….wait for it….the devil.

but what in heavens name is the luther burger?

the luther is a burger fashioned with sticky, sweet glazed donuts as buns. yes, i said that right….dooooonuttttssss! 

usually made with krispy creme donuts…mmmmm!

 

 

it just might be the devils work….

so who invented this abomination?

speculated-alien among us...not confirmed information

"hail satan, you're burger-donut is working. soon they will be ours!"

 

 

 

 

well, the legend tells us that this dessert-dinner combo was invented by or for the late great soul singer, luther vandross. he was a superstar in the eighties and sold over 30 million albums worldwide.

the question is..why?

 

 

we may never uncover the truth about this oddity. whether it was created for him or by him….why donuts? what does the burger-donut signify? could the burger-donut be responsible for man’s downturn? are there aliens among us?..and what of the power donuts have over most law enforcement….hmmm food for thought, literally.

what i do know is that this phenomenon has spread  rapidly throughout america and could be making its way to canada…so please go and eat safe eh!

it may already be among us

And so, it too was created!

welcome to the circus of burgers, hamburglers!

my search for the truth about the unusual fascination with what, essentially is just  ground beef/pork patties, begins by taking me on a journey into ancient worlds of nomads, hunters & conquerors. I want to know some of the history concerning the beloved burger.

for so it told…. that deep into the 11th century nomadic mongol warriors who were known for venturing out on lengthy excursions across vast lands and performing with excellent execution, i may add, the occasional pillage; often  carried flattened meat patties as their source of main food substance.  The patties were flattened for the purpose of convenient carrying.

"the flat meat barrage"


when the mongol warriors took a hold of mother russia, they also brought with them yummy flattened meat product. what do you know, it caught on and soon russia was in the grips of what would eventually grip the entire world, like a delicious, delicious virus ….THE HAMBURGER!

soon the new flat meat craze would reach russia’s surly sailors who would drop in to visit the kind and gentle people of germany from time to time… hamburg specifically. the people of hamburg luv’d it so much that they eventually felt suited to finally give flat meat a more desirable name…..so they named it after themselves and began a passion worldwide that is even stronger now than then!

so that is the historical account of the origin of the burger patty..first step in my quest…now i want to know when, who and where was the birth of the hamburger sandwich. there is much controversy surrounding this topic but i will try to unravel fact from fiction in my next episode.
