The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
Whether it’s a brilliantly-bricky donut, or immortalizing the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile, the LEGO works of Bruce Lowell need to be checked out. And renderings of actual foodstuffs is only a small part of what Lowell can do with LEGOs, as he’s also been known to construct the occasional KitchenAid Stand Mixer, and even a replica of a Pasadena In-N-Out Burger.
See a lot more of Lowell’s works of food, Star Wars, and other pop culture phenomena here.
Let’s face it… if Tony the Tiger had actually been practicing what he preached since 1951, he wouldn’t be the broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted mascot that’s now on the Frosted Flakes box.
Artist Ron English, who loves to have fun at the expense of cereal manufacturers, created the Fat Tony Vinyl Figure – continuing his mission to raise awareness of the dangers of some kid’s cereals. Now that’s gr-r-reat!!!

Just when you thought that the U.S. had cornered the market on extravagant tubed meat – DougieDogs of Vancouver recently created the World’s Most Expensive Hot Dog. After one-upping the former champion from Massachusetts, which was priced at $80, the new ‘Dragon Dog’ will set you back $100 Canadian, or about $98.68 USD.
And if you were thinking (as I was) that the hot dog would surely contain nothing more than the finest Canadian bacon and maple syrup — the Dragon Dog justifies its price with a foot-long bratwurst infused with Louis XIII cognac, Kobe beef seared in olive and truffle oil, fresh lobster, and a secret “picante sauce.” Enjoy, ay!
