*NSYNC's Joey Fatone is doing the unthinkable by launching a hot dog stand in the Florida Mall in Orlando, Billboard reported on Monday (June 27).
In case you haven't got the hint, Fatone's forthcoming eatery, which is deemed Fat One's Hot Dogs & Italian Ice, is a play on his last name and, of course, his rep for being the "fat one" from the 2000s boy band.
"After years of working on television food shows, I'm excited to open this new venture which is a combination of who I am, where I'm from and where I've been," Fatone said in a statement. "Launching Fat One's at The Florida Mall, where I roamed as a middle school kid, felt like a perfect fit for our first location."
Fat One's Hot Dogs & Italian Ice will open in August and be located in a kiosk between Five Guys and La Madeleine Country French Cafe. Keep your eyes peeled on the menu. It will reportedly feature a hot dog called "Boybander" with five mini hot dogs.
