Food Fetish

A new book of recipes, photos, and stories about food combinations you’d never dream of making, and probably shouldn’t.

This Is Why You’re Fat: Where Dreams Become Heart Attacks
Jessica Amason and Richard Blakeley

This blog-turned-book from HarperStudio is kind of the Juggs magazine of food porn: page after page of photos of over-the-top concoctions that qualify as barely edible, at best. From the porkgasm (which boasts bacon strips, pork belly, and five kinds of sausage) to a deep-fried brownie ball to a personal favorite, the McNuggetini (McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets, BBQ sauce, chocolate milk shake, and vanilla vodka), these dishes are less likely to make you hungry than to make you wince with twisted glee. It makes a perfect gift for the adventurous meat lover in your life. EKG machine not included.
