Fancy Fast Food of the Day: Four top Toronto-area chefs were invited by local alt-weekly The Grid (formerly EYE) to design five-star meals using only the ingredients found in McDonald’s Big Mac combo.
We asked four chefs to turn a Big Mac combo (burger, fries and a Coke, plus lots of condiments) into a five-star dish. To our surprise, they agreed. The only rule: other than oil and water, no extra ingredients allowed. The result is four meals that won’t be seen on a specials board anytime soon.
Above: Aravind’s Open-Faced Samosas — fried-burger-bun samosas filled with diced meat and onions bound in BBQ sauce, served alongside fries bundled up with fry box strips and repurposed-cheese sauce.
