You don’t have to talk to a lot of computer programmers (or their families) to learn that sometimes they’ll skip meals to stay in front of the computer and keep coding. I’m no exception, but I try to get in my regular meals without losing too much coding time. This week, I departed from the drive through for a new kind of meal.

ampm wanted to know what a computer geek like me might come up with from their new menu and I was happy to create my very own food concoction for ampm‘s secret menu tab on Facebook.

For a few days, I headed to the ampm near my office for lunch and dinner. I started out with just a plain chicken sandwich and worked my way up to my food masterpiece. Along the way, I tried a variation of the Triple Dipper Dog seen on the Facebook menu and it was really pretty good. I took Nachos, loaded them up with nacho cheese, chili, and some diced onions, and dipped a corn dog in it. If I do that one again, though, I’ll crunch up the nacho chips into tiny bits before topping them.

The Turtle Burger Crunch

After some days of food inspiration and a couple experiments, I ended up with my own food concoction. I was going to call my new creation the JoeTech.com Turtle Burger, but it just didn’t sound right, so here it is with its final name, The Turtle Burger Crunch.

Here’s what you need (my cost was just over $4):
- Cheeseburger
- Hot Dog
- Doritos (or your favorite chips)

Here’s how it’s done:
- Remove the top bun from the cheeseburger
- Remove the bun from the hot dog
- Center the hot dog atop the hamburger
- Pile some chips on top
- Put the hamburger bun back on top and press down a bit

When you’re done, your hamburger will have a head and tail and crunchy inner shell. Eat any way you like. I uploaded this to the Facebook menu, too, so you should be able to find it there soon.

The Secret Menu On Facebook

I’ve mentioned the secret menu tab a couple times already because it was a handy source to look at for ideas on what I wanted to make. The menu is where I discovered the Triple Dipper Dog I improvised. Better still, they reveal new items every week and even let people submit their own menu items like I did.

Just a glimpse of a few of the existing menu items should give you an idea of what menu items to expect from ampm, and the user created items offer their own taste of creativity. Check them out and add your own. That is, if you think you can beat The Turtle Burger Crunch.
