Food of the Week

The Luther Burger, named after Luther Vandross, is a burger with the traditional burger bun replaced with a sliced sugar glazed donut.

The Luther Burger contains more than 1000 calories and typically has over 45 grams of fat per portion.

The creation of the Luther Burger is a bit of an urban legend but it is widely accepted that it was invented at Mulligan’s bar in Decatur, Georgia on a day when the cook ran out of hamburger buns and decided to use two donuts instead.

Its creator named the sandwich ‘Luther Burger’ after R&B legend Luther Vandross, who reportedly enjoyed the sandwich; some rumors claim that Vandross himself invented his namesake burger. The Luther burger name has stuck since then but the creation is also referred to as the Donut Burger.

The owner of Mulligan’s bar, Chandler Goff, has sold the rights to the Luther Burger to the Atlanta Braves baseball team, who will begin selling them in 2006 or 2007. So only the Atlanta Braves can sell a burger named Luther Burger.

Best Current Directors

I think its been since either August or September that I posted something that wasn't just a link. It was probably about Detroit. It was probably around the time my daughter stopped taking as many naps.

Anyway, I saw something today that made me think about a director (who I hopefully will blog about later). He has a new movie and when I heard about it, I instantly wanted to know more about it and see it. But I also realized that director has a tendency to piss me off. Like David Lynch, he has elements of brilliance but also frustrating habits that ruin some of his movies.

That got me thinking about must-see directors. People who, regardless of subject matter, you'll want to see their movie. If _____ makes a file, you'll make an effort to view it. Its been pretty quiet around here, so mVc folk... do you have any directors like this? Anyone who by name recognition alone you'll try to see sooner rather than later?

For me, besides the two I mentioned above, the only directors that immediately came to mind were the Coen Bros and Paul Thomas Anderson. Then I googled top directors or something and found this list from the Guardian to remind me of who I was forgetting. I think there might be a few more who deserve onto my list...

Naked People Playing Song Of The Week

This song reminds me of INXS for some reason. The drums?
