It may be impossible for fast food to ever be classified as fine cuisine, but Alejo Malia feels the least people can do is present it on fancy dishware like these concepts he cooked up. KFC, McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Subway, Starbucks and Burger King are among the ornate plates Malia created for this series entitled ‘Good Dishes, Bad Food.’ Each plate is designed to reflect the corporate logo and design motifs of the respective fast food chains, and the results are so well done that they could be used to serve food from real restaurants.
Alejo Malia, for those who don’t know, is a designer, illustrator and overall creative who’s already making waves on the Internet thanks to his ‘Google’s World’ series, in which he draws images taken directly from Google Maps Street View.
