The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
What is it about crocheted food that appeals to our eyes and bellies, and makes us miss grandma? This is never more true, than when it’s in the hands of an artist such as Trevor Smith.
Using a combination of brightly-colored yarns, wire and foam to shape his creations — Smith creates classic dishes with an ephemeral and Kodacrome-esque feel to them. Even the kitchen appliances Smith creates feel awesomely vintage. See more below and here.

The most important meal of the day, may be this egg art by Mexican artist Michele Baldini.
Officially titled, The Eggs-hibit, most pieces are sculpted from an egg white, and a perfectly intact yolk, while some are scrambled. Countries, states, pop culture characters, and logos get this eggs-cellent treatment.
See more of The Eggs-hibit below and over on Instagram.
Donuts, already a work of art, have been rethought and made museum-quality by artist, Jae Yong Kim.
Using standard holed and filled donuts as inspiration, Jae creates pop culture-tinged ceramic versions — modifying the shapes a bit and expertly painting and glazing them.
