Hasta La Gadget!

Were you expecting to see a Michelin Star restaurant? Something like Per Se? Certainly a restaurant where fine dining doesn’t even begin to describe the orgasmic experience, right? Like Alinea? Nope. Those excellent restaurants—and others of their kind—are not the best restaurant in the USA according to Yelp. That honor would go to a small shack in Hawaii called Da Poke Shack. You could eat there for less than 10 bucks.

Think you have an infatuation with food?  Well, as always, you’ve been one-upped.  Carl Warner, artist and designer, is more of a foodie than you will ever be. He has used his computer graphics skills in combination with his physical “playing-with-food” abilities in order to construct some of the most marvelous landscapes that this planet has ever seen: foodscapes.  They make me want to close my eyes and dance with the night* for the rest of eternity, except for when I have to stop and go get more Cheetos.

Above, you can see the real life Candyland.  No, not the electronic duo, and not the wonderfully-crafted board game.  This is the real deal, folks.  There’s even a real candy-girl sitting at the bottom of that well and waiting to crawl up at you in a spider-like fashion!  (Movies… what have you done to me?)

Just think about how long it took for this man to create each of those little corn blocks, and then be amazed.  Also, think about how long it is going to take that no-legged mushroom to pull his little cart all the way along the Great Wall of China!  That’s true dedication – that’s all-natural brawn and determination.

If you would like to see more food landscapes, just head on over to Carl Warner’s website.  Otherwise, if you’re still hungry, you can always check out the iTray flying food tray and this delectable squid masterpiece.

Who doesn’t love bacon and cheese together? Yeah, it’s not exactly the healthiest of food combinations, but it sure is tasty. So if you’re interested in cutting right to the chase, and don’t want to be bothered with that pesky bread, lettuce or tomato, then here’s an idea for you…

What you’re looking at is the epic Bacon Weave grilled cheese sandwich. The guys over at DudeFoods created this low-carb, but artery-clogging wonder by carefully weaving a grid of crispy bacon together in place of toast. In the middle – a layer of melty american cheese. Et voilà! Perfection. The trick to the sandwich is pre-cooking the bacon and getting it crispy before nuking the layer of cheese in the middle.

Sure, holding bacon in your hands like this will probably leave your fingers pretty greasy, but that’s more for you (or more likely your dog) to lick off later.
