Does art imitate life or does life imitate art? That’s one of many, many questions that arose in my mind when I saw this art exhibit in France that’s made up of 10,000 “Canburgers.” And no, these aren’t just purchased from the place we found the originals in, they were specially commissioned by the artist, Mike Bouchet. And it just went up a month ago. What. The. Hell. Let’s unravel this mystery, super sleuths.
Curiosity is at an all time high about the Cheeseburger in a Can. Does it taste good? Will I die if I eat it? Thanks to one brave soul who put his life on the line for canned cuisine, we now know the answers to these questions and more. First off it is fairly expensive at 3.95 EUR (around $8) and it takes about 10 minutes to cook in a “bai-marie” (double boiler). It can also be cooked out of the can or eaten cold (ewww).
