Two Friends Compete To Make The Fanciest, Schmanciest Meal Out Of A Big Mac Combo

With a bit of creativity, a dose of precision and some time to spare, even the most standard of fast food meals -- a Big Mac and fries -- can be transformed into a Michelin-star-worthy dinner.

Redditor MarkHayes and his friend challenged each other to craft a "fancy" looking meal by using ingredients from a Big Mac combo, including a Big Mac, an order of fries and a Coke.

MarkHayes executed an impressive plate, featuring a stack of tiny burgers, a nest of fries shaped like a Jenga game and a miniature salad made from the sparse lettuce that adorns the cheeseburger. The dish was accompanied by Coke, served in a wine glass (with a straw) to wash it all down. His pal produced an inventive spread comprised of wee shepherd's pies made from the Big Mac and sesame seed (extracted from the bun) crisps.

Check out the imaginative competition below (with MarkHayes' captions), then tell us who deserves the prize (a trophy made of golden arches, perhaps?) in the comments section.
