舌尖上的疯狂：2013年7大极品美食盘点

    极端食品并不是什么新事物。还记得肯德基(KFC)在2010年推出的双层炸鸡汉堡(Double Down)吗？但在今年，连锁餐厅业把这项概念推向了一个新高度。“我们看到不同领域的运营商推出引发热议的混搭食物，让好奇心重的客户备受震撼，惊喜不已，”食品研究公司Technomic的劳拉•麦圭尔说。一个恰当的例证是cronut（上图所示）：一种把甜甜圈和羊角面包混合在一起的食物。无论这些极端食品是让你垂涎三尺，还是恶心不已，它们总是能够成为新闻，让你牢牢记住蕴含于其中的餐饮理念。现在，我们就一起来回顾一下过去一年最具代表性的7种极端食品。

    Extreme foods are nothing new. Remember KFC's Double Down of 2010? But this year restaurant chains took the concept to a new level. "We've seen operators from different segments roll out buzzworthy food mash-ups that shock and delight curious customers," says Laura McGuire of food research firm Technomic. Case in point: the cronut (see above)—a doughnut/croissant hybrid. Whether these items left you drooling or repulsed, extreme food items keep restaurant concepts top of mind by generating news. We took a look at seven of them from the past year.
