Nothing goes together like [burgers and fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flamin-hot-chicken-fries), which is why [Burger King](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crispy-dippers) New Zealand's new [French](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loaded-fry-burritos) Fry Sandwich is the ultimate fast food hybrid.

Just as the name suggests, the new French Fry Sandwich is a cross between a sandwich and French fries. The sandwich starts with the chain's signature crispy fries, slathered in ketchup and mayo, and stuffed between two soft buns. Officially, the new dish is called the 'Chip Butty,' as butty is the informal name for sandwiches in places like New Zealand and the UK.

The Chip Butty is currently available at participating Burger King locations across New Zealand for just $2 NZ. As Burger King puts it: "A dish fit for a King at a price fit for everyone."
