Mosaic Artist Fills Potholes With Yummy Treats and Food Packaging

October 18, 2018 by Chris Durso

The last time that we checked in with mosaic artist Jim Bachor, he was filling potholes throughout Chicago with ice cream.

Over the past few years, Jim has continued his work of improving streets and communities with more ice cream mosaics, unmistakeable food packaging and other treats. Bachor has even taken his talents to the streets of cities across the U.S. and abroad.

Bachor’s shop has prints and original works available, even a piece that showcases and old-school Swanson TV Dinner. We assume that he did the dessert first.

Cheese Explodes From This Burger And We’re Not Sure How To Feel About It

November 22, 2016 by Chris Durso Leave a Comment

There’s no denying that a burger is vastly improved when topped with cheese. However, when said cheese isn’t melted upon the patty, but rather delivered in a violent cheese explosion, there may be some mixed emotions.

Raw Material in New York City is making this Cheese Explosion Burger, by filling the top bun with a gooey cheese sauce. The anticipation of breaking the bun open is the fun part — as the diner cannot be sure if they’ll get a dribbler or a full-blown cheese volcano. Either way, the end result is a cheeseburger, so you have that going for you.

If you require a milkshake that will bring all the boys to the yard, look no further than these extreme milkshakes by Black Tap in New York City. And, damn right, it’s better than yours.

Somewhere in these very tall concoctions is an actual milkshake, but they’re then topped with accoutrements including full ice cream sandwiches, handfuls of candy, and giant lollipops.

Black Tap has locations in Soho and The Meatpacking District, and one of these milkshakes will run you $15 — which is reasonable, considering that one shake could feed a small village. Check out more and drool here.
