# Toad Burgers 'Fire the Chef 2' Shows Creepy but Faux Photoshop Cuisine By Bianca | Published 2010-01-13 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fire-the-chef References: [fxb.worth1000](http://fxb.worth1000.com/contests/24421/fire-the-chef-2) Fire the Chef 2 is a clever followup series to a Worth1000 photoshop contest held a while back with the theme: *strange meals from around the world*. Of course, these dishes are the devilish concoctions of photoshop chefs, and not real culinary masters. The Fire the Chef 2 images include a Toad Burger, Grub & Maggot Burger, Egyptian Kebab, a real cocktail and maggot pasta, Breakfast Eyes, brain-infused wine, Toasteye, Moo Goo Gaibug, a WcBurpger and an eyeball omelet. I'm pretty daring when it comes to food, but yuck! I would not like to eat these items! For more pictures of truly bizarre meals concocted by some truly photoshop savvy entrants, check out the whole Fire the Chef gallery on Worth1000. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Multimedia](https://www.trendhunter.com/multimedia) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Fake Food Creations:** Opportunity to explore the market for faux food products that mimic bizarre culinary creations. - **Photoshop Culinary Art:** Potential to develop a niche market for digital artists to create visually stunning but imaginary food creations. - **Viral Food Challenges:** Possibility to create viral social media campaigns around bizarre and unconventional food challenges. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food Manufacturing:** Opportunity for food manufacturers to produce and market novelty food products based on imaginative culinary creations. - **Digital Art:** Potential for digital artists to offer their creative services in designing visually striking but fictional food images. - **Social Media Marketing:** Opportunity for marketers to capitalize on viral food challenges by collaborating with influencers to promote unconventional food trends. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Distorted Burger Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ailloween.md) - [Comedic Limited-Time Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fake-burger-1.md) - [Unusual Food Tattoo Challenges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omaha-steak.md) - [Shooter Game-Inspired Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doom-burger.md) - [Future-Facing Food Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/future-food-menu.md) - [Plant-Based Human Meat Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/human-meat-burger.md) - [Controversial Snack Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illegal-chips.md) - [Super Spicy Squid Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squid-devil-burger.md) - [Grotesque Halloween Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloween-pizza-campaign.md)
