Ramenburgers are poised to become the Next Big Thing, and Nombe got there first with a 50/50 beef & pork belly burger sandwiched in a bun made entirely from ramen, plus vinegar onions, pickled Japanese cucumbers, tomato and mizuna. Oh, and they also have bacon-wrapped mochi.

This particular waffle house has perfected both the "wrap it in bacon" and "stick it in something else" food gimmicks with a Prather Ranch beef hotdog wrapped in bacon, topped with pickles and special sauce and presented in a little waffle.

Shushirrito took a gimmicky idea and turned it into a success with three popular lunch spots that turn out burrito-sized sushi rolls to the hungry masses. Get in line for the Sumo Crunch with crab, shaved cabbage, cucumber, avocado, green onions and red tempura flakes.

Waffle fries topped with pulled pork, cheese and buffalo sauce make up Rickybobby's heart-stopping pork fries, which ride both the waffle and pork trends to their natural conclusion.

Burger Bar doesn't stop at the $22 burger. Their decadent Nutella Burger is a dessert sandwich made with warm donuts, Nutella ganache, passion fruit gelle, strawberries and kiwi. Chocolate not your thing? They've also got a Cheese Cake Burger.

Is bacon a passé food craze? Maybe, but that just means there's more for the rest of us. The triumphant return to brick and mortar business reminds us of Bacon Bacon's unapologetic ode to the simplest joys of pork: the bacon bouquet.

It appears to the uninitiated as a pile of taco fixins on a piece of discarded trash, but this Frito pie is no throwaway. Pinto beans, red chile, pico, cheese and cream sit atop a split bag of Fritos, lending the chile a satisfying crunch that belies its humble looks.

Traditionally prepared as the Pilgrims would never dare, turducken is perhaps the most unholy of all food gimmicks: a chicken stuffed in a duck stuffed in a turkey. You'll have to hold off 'til November for this Thanksgiving standby, but the wait it worth it: this turducken is tops.
