We've fallen in love with many a food mash-up in the past – do yourself a favor and make Snickers lasagna right now – but the latest culinary hybrid just earned a special place in our hearts (and, obviously, our stomachs).
Part sushi and part burger, the sushi burger (we repeat, sushi burger) is all kinds of amazing.

Sushi burgers, which basically consist of burger "buns" made out of rice and can be made with anything from traditional beef patties to region-specific favorites like tofu and roe-topped fish, aren't necessarily a new, new thing. But even though they've been around for some time, they're now having a pretty major moment on Instagram, which more or less means that they've made it as far as food fame goes.

Hello sushi burger! @smileyjeno has been teasing me with her #onigirazu, I made mine with #vegetarian #bimbimbap filling. Onigirazu recipe idea from @justonecookbook, thank you Nami for the recipe & video. Hubs said he can eat this everyday 😋 Anyone has any ideas how to wrap it besides using plastic wrap? #japanesekoreanmix #sushiburgerA photo posted by Shannon Lim-de Rooy (@justasdelish) on Mar 31, 2016 at 1:53am PDT

When you have a sushi burger of your own and are getting ready to dig in—after Instagramming it, of course—you'll want to proceed with caution. These bad boys can definitely get a bit messy, and some sushi burger enthusiasts recommend sticking to a fork and knife or a pair of chopsticks instead of trying to eat these like real burgers.
Then again, knowing us, we're probably going to bypass the utensils in favor of getting right down to business. We're not afraid of getting our hands a little dirty for a good (i.e. delicious) cause.
