THE DOUGHNUT BURGER IS A THING
DAN CAMPEAS, owner of STUFFED GRASS FED BURGERS, was already buying all his burger
buns from MONTCLAIR BREAD COMPANY, and thought that swapping out regular bread
for one of their famous doughnuts would make for a bold, sweet-and-savory combo. And?
Campeas says that the result, the simply-named “Doughnut Burger,” is quite a popular menu
item. Grass-fed beef is stuffed and topped with cheddar cheese, bacon and served on a glazed
doughnut ($12.95). But you can have any of the burgers on the menu served on a doughnut,
if that’s how you like them. Stuffed Grass Fed Burgers, 150 Valley Road, (973) 893-5805,
