I happend accross a chef called Todd Wilbur at the weekend. Apparently Todd, based in Las Vegas, has sold a couple of million recipe books on how to clone food from chains such as McDonald’s, TGI Fridays and KFC. He used his lab (kitchen) to reverse-engineer things like Twinkies and Big Macs, once he finds out what they are made from he reproduces them. Simple huh? I have never tried any of his stuff or read any of his books but he’s a pretty entertaining cook and has screen presence.
Here is his take on the Big Mac. If you were to get this right your kids would either love your ability to produce McDonald’s food on tap, or they’ll resent you for depriving them of their treats in life. Some things are about more than just the raw ingredients, the first step are the burgers and a year later you’re sending your kids to school in home made Nikes. Where does end? Interesting character none the less, take a look.
If you try it, the burgers not the shoes, let me know how it turns out.
