As are pumpkin spice [M&Ms](http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/09/09/the-latest-autumn-inspired-food-item-pumpkin-spice-mms/). And pumpkin spice [Pringles](http://www.amazon.com/Pringles-Chocolate-Peppermint-Cinnamon-Flavored/dp/B00A3TZVGG). _What is happening,_ you’re probably asking yourself, _and will the madness ever stop?_ The answer is a pretty firm no. No, the madness will not stop. We’re confident about that because there’s now a pumpkin spice hamburger. Yes, really. There’s pretty much no turning back at this point. We’re all passengers on the pumpkin spice boat now and none of us can see the shore. This autumn-inspired meaty monstrosity — officially called the Pumpkin Spice Fatte Burger — is the [latest creation ](http://pornburger.me/2014/09/06/the-pumpkin-spice-fatte-burger/)from PornBurger, a blog known for its epic and ridiculously indulgent burger combinations. This thing includes a cilantro and arugula salad, caramelized onion, pumpkin spiced duck bacon, pumpkin aioli, a coffee rubbed beef patty and tomato — all haphazardly stacked on a brioche bun. Boom. Okay, it’s easy to make fun of the pumpkin spice trend, but this burger actually sounds legitimately delicious — especially, we assume, if you eat it while you’re wearing Uggs and a big cozy sweater in an apple orchard. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3378956/pumpkin-spice-latte-burger/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3378956/pumpkin-spice-latte-burger/"},"headline":"Here's a Pumpkin Spice Burger to Dunk Into Your Pumpkin Spice Latte","datePublished":"2014-09-15T19:59:15.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:13:12.646Z","description":"If someone makes pumpkin spice lo mein after this, then it's officially time to give up","url":"https://time.com/3378956/pumpkin-spice-latte-burger/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Food & Drink","fall","burger","pumpkin","pumpkin spice","autumn","hamburger"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf31620213cef9f34/6986a35badae443db1544f30/pumpkinspicefatte1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf31620213cef9f34/6986a35badae443db1544f30/pumpkinspicefatte1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"pumpkinspicefatte1","caption":"","creditText":"Courtesy of PornBurger","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3378956/pumpkin-spice-latte-burger/","name":"Here's a Pumpkin Spice Burger to Dunk Into Your Pumpkin Spice Latte"}}]}] ```
