I’m finally jealous of the French. To promote the re-release of The Phantom Menace in THREE DEE, French fast food chain Quick is making a Darth Vader Burger complete with a black bun. A BLACK BUN. On a burger!
There’s also a Jedi burger but who ever wants the snoozefest of a regular bun when the other option is way more revoltingly appealing? The ‘Dark Vador’ (haha frenchies) Burger comes out March 1st in France. Why can’t America have weird euro crazy things like this! [Lexpress via Buzzfeed]

The Most Perfect Hamburger Makes My Mouth Orgasm
Seeing Chef Maxime Bilet talk about how the Modernist Cuisine created the most ultimate hamburger in this entire world makes me cry happy meat tears.

Thursday, January 5, 2012 at 12:40 PMWhat’s wrong with using squid ink to colour food??? Better than an artificial colouring. Besides, we’re talking about the French here, a bit of squid ink on the menu is nothing compared to some of the delicacies they’ve brought to the dining table!! (BTW, looove French food!)

Thursday, January 5, 2012 at 4:15 PMYou see those burgers in France? They’ve got black buns. Black. Buns.

Thursday, January 5, 2012 at 9:10 PMI think it’s interesting how people react to black hamburger buns. Goes to show that we eat with our eyes.
What about black jelly beans? (I hate them, but they don’t give people bowel cancer. Do they?)

They had a foie gras burger for a little while there. C’est répugnant!!
