Nutella is a wonderful and majestic food item. And, apparently, there’s a new rule that if you sandwich anything between two halves of a bun, it shall be known as a “burger.”
McDonald’s Italy knows this, and has created something called the Nutella Burger. Although, this is what we might refer to as a “breakfast burger,” the sandwich is exactly what the name implies — Nutella spread in-between a sweet bun. Would you like fries with that?

It’s the Burgeroli, or, is it the Raviolurger? Either way, the Ravioli Burger is here to help consolidate pasta and burger night.
Created by The Food in My Beard, the pasta burger is made possible by making fresh sheets of pasta, and instead of placing boring cheese in-between, it’s wrapped around a burger. It’s then placed on a bun for a few extra carbs. See the recipe here.

Not only can you wander around aimlessly looking for adorable Pokémon, but you can now catch ’em and eat ’em. Australian burger joint, Down N’ Out, recently created a Pikachu, Bulbasaur and Charmander burger.
In addition to being painfully adorable, the burger’s are constructed with ingredients to reflect the personality and powers of each character. Hopefully, the Pikachu burger won’t throw a lightning bolt at you when you bite it. The burgers are available at Down N’ Out until September 3rd.

Someone at McDonald’s New Zealand thought it would be fun for the internet to create burgers online. McDonald’s would provide the platform, Create Your Taste, as well as all the digital ingredients to help get the creative juices flowing. There was only one problem though… most people are assholes.
The result of the campaign became little more than a collection of the biggest burger-building wise-asses on the planet. Results were mostly in good fun, while some were more on the offensive side.
The site appears down now, due to the shenanigans, so the fun’s over. Thanks, wise-asses!
The problem with any bagel sandwich, is that there’s all that space wasted by the bagel-hole. Sydney, Australia’s Chicken & Sons is here to remedy that.
The Bourbon Bagel turns that negative space into a positive. Besides the Angus beef patty, “Yankee” cheese, pickles, special sauce, bourbon-glazed bacon, jalapeño and bourbon bbq sauce — a shot of Bulleit bourbon is stuffed in the hole. Problem solved!
