If you’re going to honor the Philly cheesesteak with a burger, I think it should be topped with thinly sliced steak, like the recently introduced Checkers Buttery Steak Burger.

But Burger King didn’t do that with their new Extra Long Philly Cheeseburger. It’s just their flame-grilled patties. Along with the beef patties, the burger comes with American cheese, fried onions, and a creamy cheesy sauce on a toasted hoagie style bun.

Since having sliced steak is not a given when making a “Philly sandwich,” I look forward to seeing Burger King come out with a steak-less Extra Long Philly Chicken Sandwich. Oh wait, BK already did that.

The burger has 520 calories, 26 grams of fat, 12 grams of saturated fat, 1.5 grams of trans fat, 80 milligrams of cholesterol, 1020 milligrams of sodium, 46 grams of carbohydrates, 8 grams of sugar, and 28 grams of protein.

Krispy Kreme has a new line of doughnuts that taste like cookies. Wait. Did I say new? I really meant to say the chain has one new cookie-flavored doughnut and brought back two other cookie-flavored doughnuts.

The Snickerdoodle Doughnut, the only new one of the three, is a cake doughnut rolled in cinnamon sugar, drizzled with white icing and topped with snickerdoodle cookie pieces. One doughnut has 270 calories, 14 grams of fat, 6 grams of saturated fat, 230 milligrams of sodium, 37 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 22 grams of sugar, and 2 grams of protein.

The Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Doughnut, which came out last year, features a glazed doughnut topped with milk chocolate drizzle and a cookie dough flavored Kreme dollop. It has 300 calories, 16 grams of fat, 7 grams of saturated fat, 85 milligrams of sodium, 38 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber 25 grams of sugar, and 3 grams of protein.

Finally, the Oreo Cookies and Kreme Doughnut, which appears to be an updated version of this doughnut, is filled with an Oreo Cookies and Kreme filling, dipped in dark chocolate icing, and topped with Oreo cookie pieces and white icing. The doughnut has 420 calories, 22 grams of fat, 9 grams of saturated fat, 200 milligrams of sodium, 53 grams of carbohydrates, 29 grams of sugar, and 5 grams of protein.

The treats are available through May 15 at participating locations.

There have been a few chains in the fast food universe that have combined a burger with a Philly cheesesteak. Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s did it. There have been a few chains in the fast food universe that have used butter as a topping. Jack in the Box and Burger King did it. However, Checkers and Rally’s newest creation combines a burger with butter and a Philly cheesesteak.

The Buttery Steak Burger features a hand-seasoned, 100 percent beef patty flavored on the grill with savory steak butter and topped with Philly steak, Swiss cheese, and onion tanglers on a brioche bun.

The burger has 690 calories, 420 calories from fat, 46 grams of fat, 18 grams of saturated fat, 1.5 grams of trans fat, 65 milligrams of cholesterol, 1300 milligrams of sodium, 42 grams of carbohydrates, 8 grams of sugar, 2 grams of fiber, and 24 grams of protein.
