Until now, there have been burger people and there have been hot dog people.

Now we no longer have to choose.

A man in Australia named Mark Murray has combined the two most popular fast food items in history into one glorious, meaty masterpiece called the Hamdog.

Hamdogs are hamburgers stuffed with hot dogs, complete with delicious fixings and encased in a special hamdog bun.

The hamdog was patented in the U.S. back in 2009. In 2015, Murray presented the hamdog on the Australian version of the show Shark Tank, in which budding entrepreneurs present their inventions to potential investors.

As Murray said on the show, it's "a party in your mouth."

Sadly, the judges turned him down.

However, Murray's fast food dreams are becoming a reality because he has started to sell hamdogs at fairs and markets in Western Australia. He's still looking for people interested in franchising his product, according to the BBC.

It looks like a meat lover's dream.
