The Turducken Burger

When gazing upon The Turducken Burger, the first question would be… Why? And, once we get to the bottom of that, we ask… Why weren’t we aware of this before Thanksgiving?

But hey, what’s done is done. And, if the food inside another food trend is to continue — then it might as well all come together inside a burger. Actually, the Turducken Burger is a creative reinterpretation of the traditional turducken, by chef Brad Lyons of Slater 50/50. It’s a half chicken, half turkey patty with a duck egg on top. So all of the gazintas are accounted for.

The burger is then topped with bacon gravy, cranberries and sweet potato fries… Just to help you save some time next Thanksgiving.

Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu — the surf and turf was actually created a few years ago by Rusty Eulberg, a database administrator from Lubbock, Texas.

It wasn’t until the Cthurkey reared its ugly head again on Twitter, where it went viral, and started giving everyone awesome ideas for Christmas Dinner.

Our secret loathing of turkey is never more evident, than when we attempt to break tradition with variations on a theme. Usually at the hands of adventurous home cooks, big business, or herbivores — these lame attempts at creativity do nothing more than offer insight into our true feelings towards the turkey.

Today, Foodiggity explores some of these efforts that we believe are thinly veiled hate crimes against the turkey, and ill-advised cover-ups for its shortcomings.
