Weirdest food site EVER
Can you believe this used to be a Wendy's combo meal? Image from www.fancyfastfood.com
Thanks to colleague and friend Tad Dickens, who is one of the most unusual dudes I know, I have found the weirdest food Web site I’ve ever seen.
Over at Fancyfastfood.com, they spend untold amounts of time transforming fast food into what looks like gourmet dishes. A few recent examples: a Subway sandwich became a plate of bow tie pasta; McDonald’s chicken nuggets and fries became chicken confit over pureed potatoes; 7-Eleven nachos and hot dogs become a fancy fondue.
Some entries are more appetizing than that (think tiramisou made with maple donuts and donut shop coffee) and some are waaaaaay gross (check this one out). A disturbing number of the recipes involve a food processor and water. It’s like a few high school boys got together and made a bet.
Seriously, though, I’m pretty sure this Web site is intended for comedy purposes only. And boy, is it funny. So if you need a laugh, get over there and check out The Colonel’s Chicken Corn Chowder (made, of course, out of KFC food) or the Dao Mi Noh Chow Mein (made with a Domino’s pizza).
Would you eat any of this stuff?

I’m vegan, so I can’t eat much fast food…but I have to admit I’m kind of intrigued by the idea of a Coke/ketchup reduction over potatoes and garnished with something smoky and bacon-ish. Kind of like barbecue sauce, right?
Interesting site. I don’t think I’ll be making any of their recipes though.
The napolean (in the picture) looks good, but when you read the recipe it sounds absolutely disgusting. Funny, though!
I will have to say I can top Tad’s entry with this one:

You will have to page down a few times to get the gist, it is incredible what some people have done.
Well you gotta admit you can get some pretty wild inspiration there.
Ah! That’s funny too, Shellie! You know, there was a Saturday Night Live skit years ago about a fast food creation that was like fried chicken on a burger wrapped in a burrito wrapped in a taco wrapped in a pizza… I don’t remember the specifics but you get the idea, and it was hilarious! That’s what this reminds me of. People come up with some crazy concoctions.
Shellie,
The fried chicken on the jelly doughnut really sounds disgusting.
You’re arteries clog just looking at the pictures.
OK, I would totally try the creme brulee made from Dunkin’ Donuts. Is that so wrong?
Nona,
If Paula Deen can make bread pudding from Krispy Kreme doughnuts, you can certainly try a doughnut creme brulee.
