Creator of Foodiggity Chris Durso and his son Cameron have officially completed their year-long artistic food project titled 'Foodnited States of America.' This project presents images of food shaped like states on the map. Accompanying each food image is a pun-inspired name that combines the food used to create the image and the state's original name.
The creative project features all of the states in individual images. The images use brightly colored foods and backgrounds to create a unique and appealing visual display. Some examples of the Foodnited States of America photographs include 'New Jerky,' which is a piece of jerky shaped like New Jersey and 'Oklahummus,' which is a slice of bread with hummus to represent Oklahoma.
Each image is bright and exotic looking, and all of the images are 100 percent edible.
