Fat & Furious Burger is a project established by Thomas Weil and Quentin Weisbuch. The two men are also the founders of Furious, a graphic design and art direction studio. The project began because of a rather common feeling, one of being bored with the selection of food available at lunchtime. Tired of random, boring sandwiches the pair began to create their own highly experimental burgers in their kitchen. The duo use ingredients that are extremely varied in themselves. They range from the expected, onions and cheese, to the surprising, squid and prunes, and even extravagant, gold powder. The concept behind the different burgers are incredibly exciting as well. Weil and Weisbuch have created burgers for different occasions like Christmas or Valentine’s day. They’ve also created burgers that are unified in terms of colour, like the Going Green burger or the Burger Blanc sur Fond Blanc. Perhaps most excitingly, they have also created burgers that celebrate different groups and figures that frequently dominate popular culture like that of James Bond (My name is Bun. James Bun), Lord of the Rings (A Burger To Feed Them All), or even just the vampires (Brrrrgeur).
