From [Carl's Jr.](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upsized-burger) and [Hardee's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/french-onion-dip-angus-burger), the new Most American Thickburger consists of a beef patty with a slit hot dog on top, plus a layer of [Lay's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-lays-chips) kettle cooked chips in between hamburger buns. The typical ketchup, mustard, American cheese slice, lettuce, tomato, red onion and pickles are included too. The potato chip burger uses thick kettle cooked chip to avoid the issue of sogginess. The meat on meat cheeseburger is just one of the latest offerings from a fast food restaurant chain that goes all-out with the unhealthy food hybrids. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 3% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Hybrid Food Creations:** Opportunity for innovative food creations that combine multiple popular dishes into one. - **Unconventional Ingredients:** Potential for using unexpected ingredients, like potato chips, to add unique flavors and textures to traditional dishes. - **Indulgent Fast Food:** Increasing demand for over-the-top, indulgent fast food options that cater to the adventurous eaters. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fast Food:** Fast food chains can explore menu innovations and limited-time offerings featuring hybrid food creations to attract customers looking for unique dining experiences. - **Snack Food:** Opportunity for snack food companies to partner with fast food chains and explore incorporating their products, like potato chips, into unconventional food combinations. - **Food Innovation:** Food innovation companies can provide consulting services to fast food chains, helping them develop and launch unconventional and indulgent menu items to stand out in the market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Onion Dip-Inspired Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/french-onion-dip-angus-burger.md) - [Hot Dog-Flavored Snack Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-dog-chips.md) - [Oversized Americana Cuisine Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allamerican-bigger-better-burgers.md) - [Corn Chip-Topped Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cowboy-crunch-burger.md) - [Ultra-Indulgent QSR-Inspired Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-hac-sandwich.md) - [Cheesy Chip-Embedded Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheesy-doritos.md) - [Macaroni-Topped Hot Dogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mac-dog.md) - [Hearty Chili-Topped Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chili-cheese-star.md) - [Cheese Puff-Topped Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-cheetos-burger.md)
