There are a lot of new trends happening this year, whereby sweet meets savoury or vice versa.
I'm usually a sweet treat kinda gal and can get my head around bacon with pancakes and maple syrup; however, I don't think that even I would be able to push to a Luther Burger!
Now for those of you that don't know a Luther Burger is a regular burger with cheese or bacon whereby the bun is replaced with a glazed ring doughnut, and no I'm not kidding. Legend has it that it was named after Luther Vandross and apparently may have been one of his favourite foods. This merging of savoury and sweet takes me to the scene in the film Elf when Buddy mixes sweets, spaghetti and chocolate syrup. Who knows maybe Buddy was ahead of the game!
Either way, this year is sure to see a few sweet to savoury makeovers for items such as doughnuts, pastries, muffins and scones so be sure to seek them out.
