If you have ever considered eating a cronut burger, but dismissed the thought because it seemed like too epically trashy to even contemplate, this gourmet style culture and cuisine-fusing creation is worth much more than a second thought.
Inspired by Willem Dafoe, PornBurger's Mathew Ramsey concocted the Willem Dafoenut. Described as an "American badass with French roots delivers an intensely layered performance," the sandwich stack includes a buttery parmesan cronut (what?!), cornichon relish, beef marrow french onion dip, black pepper bacon (hello) and a "smoosh fried" beef patty.
This cronut burger would be best enjoyed watching a movie Dafoe costars in with Bill Murray (hey Wes Anderson), as PornBuger also created the Bill U Murray Me burger.
