These illustrations by Kyle Platts feature TV dinner meals -- literally. His series, titled 'Imaginary Menu,' depicts meals from popular TV shows and movies. The menu belongs to his conceptual restaurant called 'TV Dinners' and the place boasts meals from Game of Thrones, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and The Grand Budapest Hotel, to name a few.
The fantasy menu's illustrations are vibrant and will probably entice you to queue up your favorite film, while eating a meal that coincides with it. For example, why not eat a scrumptious pastry like The Grand Budapest Hotel's Medel's cake while you watch the movie or a Stallion Heart from Game of Thrones (if you're that extreme of a fan that is)?
