Chef Transforms Junk Food Into Beautifully Plated Gourmet Dishes





This new Instagram account humorously combines fast food and fine dining. Its name, Chef Jacques Lamerde, is a pseudonym for a chef familiar with New Nordic plating techniques.



The Instagram account has a hilarious tagline: “small portions, tweezered everything” and features junk food with cool flavor combinations. For instance, the above is a “raspberry poptart partfait with vanilla snackpack + grape crush scented gel and enhanced with mike n ikes, cry babies and fruity mentos”.



Scroll down to read the hilarious image descriptions and admire the artful plating. Follow him here.
