How Famous Artists Would Plate A Thanksgiving Meal

Vincent-Van-Gogh-Thanksgiving — Vincent van Gogh

In a few weeks, most Americans will sit down for a Thanksgiving Day dinner. And, segmenting the standard turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and green beans — not just throwing it all in one big pile — will be as creative as we get with our plating.

Luckily, artist Hannah Rothstein has taken the creativity a bit further, by imagining what a Thanksgiving meal might look like if it were plated by a famous artist. The standard fare is arranged as if Vincent van Gogh himself was your host — as well as entries from Rothko, Pollock, Mondrian and others.

The Turducken Burger

When gazing upon The Turducken Burger, the first question would be… Why? And, once we get to the bottom of that, we ask… Why weren’t we aware of this before Thanksgiving?

But hey, what’s done is done. And, if the food inside another food trend is to continue — then it might as well all come together inside a burger. Actually, the Turducken Burger is a creative reinterpretation of the traditional turducken, by chef Brad Lyons of Slater 50/50. It’s a half chicken, half turkey patty with a duck egg on top. So all of the gazintas are accounted for.

The burger is then topped with bacon gravy, cranberries and sweet potato fries… Just to help you save some time next Thanksgiving.
