Whether you're the occasional #foodporn Instagrammer or not, you know that Instagram is full of professional and amateur chefs showing off their creative plating, pretty food styling, and impressive recipes. One Instagram user is taking the trend to a whole new level by showcasing beautiful photos of the most gourmet-looking junk food you've ever seen. The account, which currently remains anonymous, is chefjacqueslamerde [1] — French for Chef Jack Sh*t. With Dorito dust, Pop-Tart parfaits, and "curly parsley on fleek," it doesn't get much more hilariously realistic than this. Check out how this "chef" is putting a unique spin on the popularity of high-end food photography.
Pepperoni Combos, sweet potatoes, and onion dip.
Premade Jimmy Dean sausage, canned vegetables, Fritos, and mustard. Complete with a "palate-cleansing shot of fermented Lake Michigan water w/ nutritional yeast rim."
Corn dog, "marble cheeze slices," honey ham rosettes, Spongebob Squarepants "zoodles," and mustard tears.
Raspberry Pop-Tart parfait with "vanilla snack pack + grape crush scented gel and enhanced w/ Mike N Ikes, Cry Babies, and Fruity Mentos."
Hostess cupcake with rainbow Dunkaroos, yogurt raisins, "some Nibz and Starbucks mocha frap caviar." Plus a "tiny mint and piece of fancy moss!"
The chef's take on South-of-the-border-inspired food: microwaved spicy beef 'n' bean burrito, beef jerky, Wishbone caesar crema, and "lemon lime gatorade spheres for a hit of acidity." "YES, THAT IS ZESTY CHEESE DORITOS SOIL AND U R WELCOME HOMBRES," the user writes.
Lunchable meat with pickles, pork rinds, Tostitos salsa con queso "gel," and "some of that pwdrd cheese from mac and cheese."
"2nite's special" from the chef: Hawaiian Bagel Bites, Cheetos, baby carrot and ranch puree, small vegetables, and chipotle oil.
This special is "a collab w/ a chef who continues to inspire me and makes me always keep it 100." Chef Boyardee beef ravioli, shards of Triscuit cracker, and a Miracle Whip crema.
