If you've ever found yourself in the position of having to choose between a hot dog or a hamburger, an Australian man has solved your problem.
The 'Hamdog' is the junk food creation of Mark Murray, an entrepreneur from Perth, Australia who first pitched the idea on the Australian version of Shark Tank last year.
While the judges smirked at his idea, Murray may get the last laugh after successfully patenting his idea.
The buns – that look like the shape of the planet Saturn – are made by hand to fit a burger patty cut in half with a hot dog placed in the middle, Murray told the Daily Mail. The double meat concoction is then topped with lettuce, cheese, tomato, mayonnaise , mustard and tomato sauce.
Murray and his team have started selling the Hamdog at different events around Perth for $8 each.
“We launched our marquee two months ago and we had people come from everywhere just to experience the Hamdog,” Murray told news.com.au.
Murray also added he's looking for like-minded business people to invest in the Hamdog.
