Mutant Burger Stands

'Midnight Cafe' from Christopher Smith Features Ferocious Food

'Midnight Cafe' proves that when it comes to mutation, it is best to leave it to the Ninja Turtles and the X-Men. These ads were created by Christopher Smith for a fictional restaurant that serves mutant food.

I've never been intimidated by food before, but I'd be lying if I said that the confections in 'Midnight Cafe' didn't scare me. Simple food like a cheesburger or muffin can instantly be terrifying if you add a mutant mouth full of sharp teeth to them.

Looks like I won't be eating burgers for awhile -- thanks, 'Midnight Cafe.'
