Unique foods always make meals more interesting because they take a step away from the regular and do something interesting and sometimes even extraordinary. Getting creative with food can be the difference between a so-so meal and a delicious piece of art.
There's something special to be said about those that can take some ingredients and turn them into something more than your run-of-the-mill meals. More often these days chefs have been using plates as their canvases for their own brand of food art.
Whether it be using the ingredients to make something bizarre like sandals with sesame seeds for the soles or marshmallows shaped like small animals, it's true that the kitchen has become more like an art gallery than anything else. Often the food looks so good you don't even want to eat it.
