The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
Coffee, besides helping us feel less rage in the morning, has become a great art medium. Now, artist Michael Aaron Williams has taken coffee art a bit further by going old-school — with a series of portraits painted on ledger paper that dates back to the 1920s and 30s.
The weathered paper adds the perfect backdrop to the brown, amber and copper hues of the coffee, while Williams’ partial portraits complete the antique feel. See more of Williams’ work at his Facebook page.

Here we go again, encouraging you to play with your food. But this series of kids’ meals by Samantha Lee is way too awesome and adorable to pass up.
The meals were originally created as a fun way to get her daughter to eat — even if the poor girl had to bite the heads off of characters such as Snoopy and Batman. The series has since spawned one of the more popular Instagram accounts of its kind, with over 224,000 followers. See more from Lee’s awesome project here.
Potatoes wearing sunglasses… Now we’ve seen everything. But these aren’t your ordinary spuds in pink Ray-Ban knock-offs — it’s a series of street art. Brought to us naturally by an artist named Peter Pink, the shaded taters can be seen throughout Berlin.
With Pink’s art usually focused on the issue of obesity and fast food, the installations can sometimes be found protesting outside of a McDonald’s, pink picket signs and all. See more here.
Play with your food much? Probably not as much, or as well, as artist Kaisa Haupt does. Sandwich Monsters is a fun collection of cute and edible creatures made from sandwiches and other sandwich material. Check out more of the project here.
Your pasta-inspired decor has arrived. The Pasta Collection is brought to us by Italian designers Francesco Barbi and Guido Bottazzo from BicubeDesign.
Rough day? Kick off your shoes and relax on your comfortable Tortellino chair or Rigatoni sofa. Flip on the Spaghetti chandelier and put your feet up on your tomato ottoman while you wait for the sauce to be ready. The Pasta Collection was featured at SaloneSatellite 2013.
