Williamsburg Introduces The Ramen Burger! 600 People In Line For New Hot Sandwich [VIDEO] What's In It Where To Find It And How It Is Prepared[REPORT]

Williamsburge Brooklyn, hipster country, has created a new sandwich that is taking NYC by storm. The ramen burger made by Keizo Shimamoto, is mixing Japanese food with an a classic american burger. The Ramen Burger is an all-beef patty, sandwiched between two ramen noodle "buns" and the lines of people waiting for the hot new treat is staggering.

Keizo Shimamoto created the ramen burger in the US and is currently selling it on Saturdays from Smorgasbord, a seasonal Brooklyn flea market. Lines to sample the ramen burger were already between 150 and 600 people deep as of last Saturday.

"It's like half burger, half bowl of ramen, but put into one," Shimamoto told ABC News. "You might think that it's crispy because I pan fry it. But when you bite into it, the inside is chewy like Ramen noodles."

The ramen burger consists of a beef patty sandwiched between two pan-fried discs of ramen noodles, then topped with an arugula, green onions, and a "secret" Shoyu sauce (a type of soy sauce).

Shimamoto got the burger idea in Japan where ramen bun sandwiches are common but not with beef which is very expensive there.

"I experimented with different recipes to get the perfect bun. People think it's crispy because they see it on the grill, but when you bite into it you notice that the noodles are still quite soft." But it doesn't break apart. Why? "That's a secret," says Shimamoto.

The Ramen burger is offered at the Smorgasburg in the Williamsburg flea market for $8 a burger. See the insane line at the flea market:
