New York Strip Clubs: Fast food gets fancy makeover on Web …
He and his brother used to have food styling competitions as kids during family trips to Chinese buffets. Dad would say something like “Do a soup dish” and Trinidad would fetch a bowl of egg drop soup, peel some shrimp to rest on the bowl’s edge and drizzle on soy sauce.
Trinidad continued his food styling hobby after he got an apartment with a nice kitchen, posting pictures of his creations on Facebook.
One day, Trinidad ordered a Big Mac Extra Value Meal at McDonald’s and decided to trick out his dinner. He sliced the patties into spears, pureed the French fries with bits of bun for the potatoes and poured the Coke into a wine glass. He garnished it with the pickle slice and sesame seeds plucked from the bun. Voila: McSteak & Potatoes.
Subsequent Fancy Fast Food dishes have become more ambitious. He has de-cobbed kernels with a corn stripper, used his bamboo sushi roller on a chicken wrap and caramelized doughnut custard with a kitchen torch.
