The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
Want to scare the daylights out of a few dinner guests and/or turn them to stone? The Medusa Plate is the work of artist Vik Muniz, who often works in the medium of spilled food.
This particular plate, offered at the MOMA Store, has Spaghetti Medusa printed right on it, so you’ll never be able to wash her away. You’ll probably not want to eat on the Medusa Plate anyway, since it costs $500.

Art watching can make people hungry… Or so we’ve been told. Especially when the art strongly resembles an onion ring floating in tomato soup, or can easily be recreated as jam on toast. Over at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, they’re taking inspiration from actual paintings within their space to help design the menu at their rooftop café.
From Rothko’s abstractionist jam, to Rosana Castrillo Díaz Panna Cotta — visitors to the museum can take in some art, and then, um, take in some art.
