Photo of the Day: Hamburger Macaron

Posted by Robyn Lee, November 30, 2009 at 6:45 PM

Although they're from totally different food categories, burgers and macarons look pretty similar to each other. The two have finally been brought together to make this glorious hamburger macaron, made by Helen Rosner of Eat Me Daily with the help of I Love Macarons by Hisako Ogita. The macaron features cocoa-tinted macaron "buns," dried plum "patty," coffee buttercream "cheese," green decorating sugar for the lettuce and pickles, dried apricot "mustard," and raspberry jam "ketchup." French pastry chef / macaron specialist Pierre Hermé should take notice. (I'd also like to point out that if you're a burger and macaron lover, you might like this T-shirt from Hamburger Disco—the burgers resemble macarons.)

I look at something like this, and I wonder about the taste. Because sometimes these things are technically edible, but maybe not the best flavor combos.

In this case, it all seems like it should go together. But does it? Someone needs to take a bite and get back to us.

Too cute! Reminds me of the hamburger cookies my mom has made, but on a much more gourmet level. (Hers are all from store-bought products like Nilla wafers. Pretty much solid sugar, but really cute)

That is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. @dbcurrie, I am going to just imagine that it tastes like a fresh vanilla macaron from laduree in my imagination...

This reminds me of the Dessert Dogs Marge Simpson made for a cook-off! The recipe comprised a deep-fried cookie dough wiener inside a meringue bun, and topped with cherry sauce ketchup.
