Fancy Fast Food Makes Your Favorite Junk Into Eye Candy
We're really intrigued by Fancy Fast Food, which takes standard fast food items and, using only those ingredients, transforms them into something approaching haute cuisine. The recipes are available on the site if you want to try at home. (Pictured above: the Tacobellini)

But what does Performance Artist KORN and Fortune Teller Kazuko Hosoki think!?
Seems like quite a process to make the stuff without adding extra ingredients but the idea is great! I might try this some time for the fun of it.
I have been searching for a way to eat unhealthy fast food and still be able to do dishes. Thanks you.
Marry me?
@sir_pantsalot: You best be using environmentally friendly soap kind sir.. I mean if you're going to all that trouble anyway..
I'm going to add this my arsenal of why I shouldn't be in the kitchen. I live with a chef who sometimes demands that I jump in the kitchen and cook. This should work even better than the jarred sauces I keep using for everything.
How practical!
They cheated on the Tacobellini by using parsley.
@henrygates: Also, I don't think Popeye's has Wasabi, but I've never been there so I might be wrong.
If I were to purchase a couple of wonderful tasty burritos from Taco Bell and someone did this to them I would probably bludgeon them.
Or you could just eat at Wendy's!
(but seriously Wendy's, shut up.)
This will make a great Quickfire challenge on Top Chef.
Just because it looks better doesn't mean it gets any healthier.
Frankly it scares me to see what they do with a Coke. They boiled the Coke and reduced it to plain high fructose corn syrup to make hoisin sauce for Domino's pizza and dipping sauce for the White Castle burgers/meatballs.
But mixing Coke with pink lemonade to make rose wine sounds absolutely disgusting.
@gumby101: @BuddyGuyMontag: Interchangeable Japanese Actress: Tee hee! I've never had it like that before. Oooooooo. giggle giggle.
The term Lipstick On A Pig comes to mind...
LOL...oh my god...I misread the headline as: "Fancy Feast Food..." I'm thinking, "Why the heck is Fancy Feast foods putting out recipes for humans?"
@sir_pantsalot: Taco Bell doesn't have burritos...it has shells of years-old tortilla cast offs filled with the mysterious excess parts of a cow and the sweat of the $8/hour worker who had to make them.
In the tapas, he left the onion rings untouched - perhaps because they already are the perfect food.
I am regretting bringing a salad to work. Maybe I'll have onion rings for dinner. mmmmmm.
@Prole: If you read the recipes, it's more of a food artist exercise than anything. For instance, they might use the soda from a value menu meal to lubricate a pureed bread concoction to give it the right adhesion properties, but that would hardly make it palatable. It also involves a lot of puree'ing things to oblivion then putting them on a nice plate.
To me, its not really that much more meaningful than taking a work boot and making it look delicious.
@inadequatewife: Oh no, please note that it was Diet Coke they boiled down. We call it cancer syrup. But hey, it's HFCS-free!
Wendy's did something like this with their new "boneless buffalo wings". I bought some the other day and they were just chicken nuggets with some sauce poured on top.
@BuddyGuyMontag: have you noticed that in the current generation of reruns from the show, the music has been completely changed? It must have been some kind of copyright infringement or licensing dispute. The music is now... not appetizing.
This made me want to visit Long John Silvers for my bi-yearly dose of chicken plank grease. Unmolested, unadorned chicken planks, on a bed of crunchies as God intended.
Freakshow! I don't know if I should drool or puke.
@Trai_Dep: I tried to come up with a pithy way of rephrasing that, but it just didn't work. Lipstick on a...pork? Lipstick on bacon? Ah, just forget it...
It's novel, but not practical. I'm betting that the flavor leaves something to be desired too.
Ah well, I guess one never knows until one tries.
