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)

@sir_pantsalot: You best be using environmentally friendly soap kind sir.. I mean if you're going to all that trouble anyway..
@henrygates: Also, I don't think Popeye's has Wasabi, but I've never been there so I might be wrong.
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.
@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.
@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!
@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.
@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.
