Fat Kreme Combo
Jet came up with the idea of the Fat Kreme Combo back when the Fatburger opened its doors in the strip mall down the hill, across from Krispy Kreme. It was a lot more innocuous then, and only involved hitting the donuts directly after the burgers. We should have just done it, because that might have squelched the whole concept before it was allowed to morph into what it did.
j: “Take the buns off of a Fatburger and replace them with Krispy Kreme glazed originals.”
y: “You’ve got to be kidding me.”
That was a year ago. I was convinced it was a joke (seriously, yuck!), but others apparently thought the concept was “great,” and came up with variations on the theme. Freesia invented Krispy Shots, which were surprisingly okay. Jen reported an outing involving Krispy Kremes and In-n-Out burgers. Okay, gross!
Through all this, the Fat Kreme remained blissfully unexplored. Jet, the instigator, kept finding excuses not to do it, still insisting that it would be “awesome” when it did happen. I, of course, knew that it never would.
…until tonight, that is. Behold the Frankenstein creation in all its terrible glory:
You couldn’t have paid me enough to go near the thing, but I have to hand it to him: it wasn’t a joke. He ate the whole thing and, apparently, loved it.
