This incredible meat feat is a burger with buns made out of [fried macaroni and cheese](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kraft-mac-cream-cheese-schmear). While a similar burger was created by Zombie Burger, this version is not as vertical and comes slathered in sriracha ketchup. The burger is making headlines in its native Chicago, even getting a spot on the morning news. The Mac Attack Burger rivals other [odd burger buns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/7eleven-rice-burger), such as the [ramen burger](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burger-king-pickleball-burger) or cronut burger from Umami. Burger fans everywhere will surely rejoice, and may make a pilgrimage to Chicago just to try it out. If you live in the area and have not tried it yet, you're doing it wrong. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Regional](https://www.trendhunter.com/regional) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Macaroni-bun Burgers:** Opportunity to create unique burger experiences by experimenting with unconventional burger buns made out of different types of food. - **Gourmet Fast Food:** Opportunity to elevate fast food experiences by adding unique and unexpected twists to classic dishes. - **Viral Menu Items:** Opportunity to create buzz and draw customers by introducing outrageous and attention-grabbing menu items. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fast Food:** Fast food chains can innovate by creating unique and surprising menu items that draw in customers. - **Casual Dining:** Casual dining restaurants can offer a fun and quirky take on classic dishes to create a unique dining experience for customers. - **Food Trucks:** Food truck owners can experiment with unconventional menu items to create buzz and draw attention to their truck. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cheesy Macaroni-Topped Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smac-cheese-burger.md) - [Breaded Macaroni Patty Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/macaroni-cheese-lover-sandwiches.md) - [Fried Noddle Burger Patties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mac-cheese-burger.md) - [Spicy Macaroni-Topped Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spicy-mac-and-cheese-burger.md) - [Macaroni-Topped Hot Dogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mac-dog.md) - [Butter-Soaked Burger Buns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guilty-porcini-burgers.md) - [Cheesy Habanero Rice Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spicy-double-cheese-rice-burger.md) - [Crispy QSR Macaroni Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fried-mac-n-cheese-bites.md) - [Macaroni-Shaped Body Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/macaronishaped-body-pillows.md)
