This whimsical series by Bea Crespo and Andrea G. Portolés shows tiny cities built on top of the foods those cities are known for. The illustrator and photographer collaborated on BrunchCity. Combining "food, traveling, photography and lots of creativity," the ongoing photo-illustration project consists of stunning images that remind people of the relationship between places and the food that defines them.
Every two weeks a new picture is posted to the BrunchCity Wordpress maintained by Bea Crespo and Andrea G. Portolés. The delicious locations include Big Ben, the London Eye and other familiar London-based buildings on top of a cupcake as well as the Eiffel Tower, Nôtre Dame and French capital structures on top of a croissant.
