Who knew art could taste so good?

Okay, so I had this Creative Writing teacher in high school. William Yachymiak, or, 'Yak" as we called him. I guess it was about a week ago when I started feeling a little sentimental, and decided to try and track him down. Therefore, I did what we all do: I Google'd him. Sadly, I must report that I did not find Yak. But on the bright side, I found something almost as interesting.
The first thing that came up in my Google search was an article entitled An Ode to William Yachymiak. It was written by Jennifer Iannolo, who just happens to be an alumnus of my old stomping grounds. I read her article, and it certainly brought back some fond memories. Now, I won't bore you with Yak's biography, or my tales of adolescent education. But if any of you are interested, check out Jennifer's article. She said it better than I ever could.

This brings me to my point. (I know I tend to run off a little bit, and again, thanks for sticking it out with me.) Jennifer is involved with the Culinary Media Network. Upon further investigation, I discovered something shocking: food can be very artistic. Were you aware of this?(DISCLAIMER: that was a rhetorical question. If you were aware, than you are clearly much smarter than I am, and should probably stop reading now.) Normally, I would leave this topic for Janice Gregg, who is our Philadelphia Food Examiner. However, this struck me as such an untapped venue for artistic expression that I felt the need to address it.
Take a good look at this picture and then tell me if you disagree. Seriously, I don't know if I should frame this or eat it. (Strangely enough, I think I'm fighting the urge to do both.) A well-crafted piece of art should open doors in your mind, and tap into parts of your soul that you have either forgotten about, or never knew of to begin with. And I'm here to tell you; this stuff is certainly food for thought.
