I've been reading a lot of food blogs lately to try to get into the spirit of blogging. Most of them are useful and offer tips and tricks for cooking healthier, or cheaper, or better in general.
But, what I've realized is that I much prefer the ones that are funny.
This Is Why You're Fat is a great example of this. TIWYF offers a combination of delicious and gross recipes that utilize the most fattening, bad-for-you foods possible. Nearly every recipe includes bacon or deep frying -- or both.
Take Hamburzilla, for instance. This dish consists of two pizzas with two McDonald's Quarter Pounders and fries in between. Something about the absurdity of that is incredibly amusing. There are pages and pages of reader-submitted creations to peruse and the blog has even been turned into a book.
Fancy Fast Food is my newest (and perhaps favorite) blog discovery. The concept of the blog is simple: take items that can be purchased at fast food restaurants and make them look like fancy, delicious plates. Most of them combine ingredients that I don't think would taste all that great, but the photos are amazing.
Beef Strog 'n Off is a good example. The sauce of the fake stroganoff is made with a combination of milkshake and cottage cheese -- not tasty in any way, but it looks real.
