# Hamburger Dessert Hybrids The Cinnaburger is the Love Child Between Dinner and Sugary Treats By Andrew Robertson | Published 2012-07-01 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnaburger References: [incrediblethings](http://www.incrediblethings.com/food/this-is-why-im-fat-cinnaburger) & [dudefoods](http://dudefoods.com/cinnaburger/) It perhaps sounds more appetizing than it really is, the Cinnaburger is not a dessert fashioned in the style of a burger but rather a hollowed-out [cinnamon bun](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnabon-5) stuffed with [ground beef and bacon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-label-cinnamon-toast-bacon). While the concept is fairly straightforward -- combine dinner and dessert into one main course -- the product of this pairing may be the result of a premature heart attack. Created by Nick of DudeFoods, the pairing of ground beef with sugary cinnamon goodness is apparently quite delicious. Similar to the creations by the team at [Epic Meal Time](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Preventive-Violence-Screening), the burger/dessert hybrid packs a whopping calorie count bound to send one's blood sugar through the roof. However it should be stated that everything in moderation is a healthy approach. One Cinnaburger can't hurt can it? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Dessert Hybridization:** Exploring the combination of typically sweet desserts with savory elements to create unique culinary experiences. - **Extreme Calorie Counts:** Pushing the boundaries of calorie content to create indulgent, over-the-top food experiences. - **Moderation in Culinary Fusion:** Finding a balance between indulgence and health consciousness when creating innovative food combinations. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food and Beverage:** Finding new ways to excite and engage consumers through innovative flavor combinations and unexpected culinary fusions. - **Fast Food:** Challenging the traditional boundaries of fast food offerings by introducing unusual and disruptive menu items. - **Health and Wellness:** Creating healthier alternatives or promoting moderation in the consumption of indulgent food creations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sweet-Savory Burger Debuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/donut-burger-1.md) - [Bacon-Topped Cinnamon Buns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schlotzskys-bacon-bon.md) - [Sweet Candied Bacon Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candied-bacon-whopper.md) - [Chocolate Burger Buns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hersheys-chocolate-burger.md) - [QSR Dessert Burger Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/semla-burger.md) - [Beignet Bun Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beignet-cheeseburger-sliders.md) - [Indulgent Cinnamon Roll Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnamon-roll-pizookie.md) - [Burger-Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheeseburger-ice-cream.md) - [Burger-Inspired Snack Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/choco-burger.md)
