The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
TV Dinners is a fun illustration series by artist Kyle Platts. It’s part of a project by Food Republic that asks artists to “dream up a fantasy restaurant, then devise a menu for it.”
London-based Platts chose to visualize a few fictional foods from television and movies. Whether a McDowell’s combo meal from Coming To America, or a yummy stallion heart from Game of Thrones — the drawings might make you yearn for some cartoon grub while you queue up some Netflix.

You may recognize Danny Trejo as the star of Machete, or perhaps another movie where he kills a lot of people. And if you ever wondered, as I often do, what Machete does during his downtime, Nerdist has some insight.
Danny Trejo’s Breadanimals visits the action hero during a break from his machete-wielding schedule, to watch him bake some cute bread animals.
From a sourdough turtle to a brioche alligator — Trejo’s creations are as adorable as they are delicious-looking. Just don’t tell him we said that.
It was a simpler time of feathered hair and over-the-top sexual innuendo, and the bassline was unmistakable. Now, the soundtrack to the ’70s can be spread across your lips.
Balm Chicky Balm Balm is here to help keep your lips moistened while celebrating the certified-groovy days of adult films. And while the title sets the mood, Balm Chicky’s stars provide the action. Flavors/talent includes Juicy Melons, Sweet Baby Ginger, Huge Cucumber, Wild Mountain Honey, and Hot Chocolate Love.
Each tube contains three-times as much balm as your typical lip balm. And, much like the adult film stars of the time, Balm Chicky is 100%-natural. But the real scene-stealer is each tube’s patented Friend End™. Placed on the opposite end of the tube is a separate stash of balm with a flip-cap – just the right size for the finger of a friend in need.
Balm Chicky Balm Balm is available at The Foodiggity Shop.

On a farm far far away… Oregon poultry farmer, Mark Anderson, reused a few discarded movie billboards to provide coverage for his chicken coop. By upcycling the vinyl ad for Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, Andersen created a very colorful and imposing shelter for his baby chicks.
Too bad they’ll have to stare at a promotion for Episode I during their formative years — the poor little future McNuggets.
One lucky little Lord of The Rings fan got the ultimate birthday treat with The Hobbit Hole Birthday Cake.
Created by New Jersey-based cake artists Pink Cake Box — the Hobbit home is so well-done and adorable, you’d swear that there were tiny little hobbits and an old wizard inside. Mmmm… Gandalfy.
