Quote of the Day
Art is very subjective, but rarely delicious. Fortunately, some heroes in New Jersey are fixing that by turning french fries into sculptures in an annual contest.
Each year on the boardwalk, thousands of french fries are consumed by beachgoers, snatched by seagulls or tossed in the trash at the end of the day.
But once a year, the truly lucky ones become art.
Entrants in the city’s french fry sculpting contest take paper plates full of deep-fried potatoes and mash them together in previously unimaginable ways to produce oily, high-carb masterpieces.
“Anybody can work in paint or clay,” said Kevin Brown, one of about 150 contestants this year. “But it takes a real artist to work in potatoes.”
