And what beats a turtle burger?

Doughnut burger judged 'awesome'
This fair-food family is also offering 'fried butter' as a new item this year

The Hoosier family behind last year's chocolate-covered bacon at the Indiana State Fair is at it again.

Their newest offering? A burger served between two Krispy Kremes, known simply as the doughnut burger.

Veteran concessionaire Dennis Reas said that if his family wants to survive selling novelty fair food, he must think of new products every year to keep the customers coming back.

"You just have to have something new to keep people entertained," said a beaming Reas, 53, as fair visitors circled his stands around lunchtime on the fair's opening day. "Every year we try to come up with something new."

And it seems to be working -- even if the $6.50 burger and another new offering, deep-fried butter, produced almost as many questions as orders from the first customers of the 17-day fair.
