YD rates the Hurler, Sinker, and Screamer
Concession stands are vital parts of every baseball field. Of course fans attend to watch the game, but they also come expecting plenty of hot dogs, peanuts, and Cracker Jacks. There is nothing better than eating your favorite summertime snacks while watching a good game. However, sometimes, simple hamburger just doesn't satisfy your cravings. That's where the donut burger comes in.
Unique to Red Wilson Field, the donut burger what invented by Bob Phillips, otherwise known as Burger Bob. When asked how he came up with the idea, Bob simply shrugged say, "Why wouldn't you put all the key food groups together? Donut, burgers, easy cheese." Yes, easy cheese. Now your mouth is either watering or your stomach is turning. Either way, I'm sure you're at least curious about how the donut burger is actually constructed.
Upon ordering, you have a choice of five different burgers: the Hurler, the Scream, and three types of Sinkers: inside, outside, and down the middle.
The Sinker:
For the plain Janes, or perhaps the person who appreciates the simple things in life, you have the Sinker . With this you have a choice: the Inside Sinker on a cinnamon donut
, the Outside Sinker on a plain, and finally, the Down the Middle Sinker which comes on a powdered
. With or without cheese, this burger is a classic. In fact, Dunkin Donuts new
Donut Breakfast Sandwich was inspired by YD's Sinker. Most suggest the
X Sinker as they feel the grilled cinnamon donut compliments the 4 ounce USDA grade A all beef patty naturally.

The Screamer:
Being so close to Boston, it's inevitable that one of the burgers must be served on a Boston Cream Donut. The Screamer, other wise known as the Boston Screamer, features a USDA 4 ounce grade A all beef patty on you guessed it, and Boston Cream Donut. Culinary aficionados know that chocolate and beef compliment each other rather well, so the chocolate icing with each bite is ingenious. However the best condiment is the cream filling, which smothers the burger in pure decadence.

The Hurler:
Last but not least, the most famous of the donut burgers is the Hurler, decadently topped with 1 ounce of the finest canned cheese and served lovingly cradled in the heart of a jelly doughnut
. Perhaps this is the most shocking of the three, but it also is the most sold. Many say the jelly and cheese wiz combo is an upgrade from ketchup and mustard, and some say it just tastes straight up delicious. Whatever the reason, the Hurler is what brought the donut burgers into the spotlight of the Cape Cod Baseball League concession stand circuit. Countless fans of both YD and the other teams make the trip to Red Wilson Field to sample their very own donut burger.

So which Donut Burger is the Best?
Although we have all heard that the Hurler is the King of Red Wilson Field, but we decided to put it up to a taste test to determine which donut burger is truly the best. For the taste test, we pulled three fans from the field and one player to sample three of the five burgers: The Hurler, the Screamer and the Inside
Sinker.
