[Experimenting with typography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/times-new-ramen), the Dan Beckemeyer 'Ampersand Food Groups' project is a creative and drool-worthy work of art. Combining the [classic food duos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trigger-the-taste), this project uses the ampersand "&" symbol to merge these great foods in multiple illustrations.

Including burgers and fries, coffee and donuts, and even [peanut butter and jelly](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pbj-inspired-sandwich-plates), these creatively composed digital works are a feast for the eyes. Check out the featured gallery for the 'Ampersand Food Groups' project and try not to drool.
