Ahh…the daily demands of lunch. If you’re anything like us, talk of what to eat midday begin immediately after we finish our morning coffee. Paris-based graphic design studio Furious, parlayed their lunchtime lament into a weekly burger challenge. Limited to 1.5 hours to settle on an idea, run to the supermarket, cook, eat and shoot the burger of the week, over time, their hunger and ambition grew to full stagings of their culinary creations. Last fall, they launched Fat & Furious Burger, a website and a beautifully rendered cookbook with 60 recipes, “for kamikaze livers and intrepid stomachs.”
