Ahamdog is a combination of ahamburger and ahot dog. Dishes of this name have been invented in Australia and the United States.
Australian Mark Murray conceived one kind of hamdog in 2004. His version contains abeef patty cut in two, with afrankfurter placed in between the two patties, then topped off with cheese, pickles, sauces, tomato, lettuce and onion. He received a USdesign patent for the specially shaped bun in 2009.[2]
Another variety of hamdog was invented in February 2005 by Chandler Goff, the owner of a bar inDecatur, Georgia. This version consists of a hot dog wrapped in a half pound of hamburger with bacon, cheese and onion on ahoagie bun which is deep-fried and served with a fried egg on top and a side ofFrench fries.[3] He started selling it at theIndiana State Fair in 2006.[4] A hamdog eating contest was established inVadnais Heights, Minnesota, in 2007 by Jimmy's Food and Drink. There is no reward for the winner other than bragging rights.[5]
Dr. Nicholas Lang, professor of surgery at theUniversity of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, advised against consuming a hamdog, even as a one-time snack.[6]
