In the race to create new and clickable content, our culture churns out a massive amount of nonsense under the guise of creativity. Every now and then, however, a real gem will rise to the surface. Such is the case with the Food Surgeon, who’s brilliant, hilarious, and no doubt delicious work stems from a place of ironic inspiration that so many snarky viral video creators can only strive to emulate on a second- or third-tier level.

Equally amazing are his notes, found on his blog at thefoodsurgeon.com.
