BROOKLINE, Mass. (WBZ NewsRadio) — Burgers and donuts are great on their own, but what about combined? That was the question for Union Square Donuts and Boston Burger Company as they came together to create the best of both worlds: a donut burger.
The limited-time treat is available this month at the Union Square Donut Brookline location. The concept was proposed by the Boston Burger Company with an event called “Smashed Up”, bringing quirky yet interesting combos to the table.
Christa LiTrenta, Operations Manager for Union Square Donuts, said she loves the idea of giving people something new.
“We love to make people happy through food, and it just seemed like such an obvious connection,” LiTrenta said. “If we can combine these two things of sweet and savory and still make people happy, why wouldn’t we?”
The sandwich features two smash patties, American cheese, bacon jam, and two donuts for buns topped with bacon bits. The restaurant also offers a new hot honey-glazed chicken sandwich.
“We’re reinventing brunch, we’re taking it to the next level,” LiTrenta said.
