The post-boyband hot dog scene is heating up.

*NSYNC's Joey Fatone is joining the ranks of mall food connoisseurs with Fat One's Hot Dogs and Italian Ice, a new food stand in Orlando's Florida Mall that will open in August 2016. 


Orlando Business Journalreports that customers will have various 100 percent angus beef options with names like "Gone Hollywood" and the "Boybander"—which of course are five mini hot dogs to represent the five members of *NYSNC.

Lance Bass is the first of the former boy band to comment on his friends new endeavor. "This is just perfect," he tweeted. "The perfect amount of wrong."

Fatone dabbled in the food industry when he hosted My Family Recipe Rocks, a show that found Fatone meeting different home cooks across the country. He was also featured in Food Network competition shows Rachel vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off and hosted the snack food show Rewrapped
