(CBS) What do you call breakfast and lunch combined? Meet the donut burger.

PICTURES - Yum - or yuck? 20 freakish fried foods

The latest fare at the New York State Fair - the Big Kahuna Donut Burger, as it's officially known - is a quarter pound burger sandwiched between a halved glazed donut and tricked out with cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato and onion.

"Two meals for the price of one," as the New York State Fair says on its website.

And in addition to being a bang for your buck, it also delivers a lot of calories - 1,500, to be exact. That's more than half the recommended daily calorie intake for most people.

New York's fair opens in Syracuse on August 25, where the Big Kahuna burger will be sold for between $5 and $6, the Associated Press reports.
