One of the coolest places we ate at in Napa Valley was Taylor’s Automatic Refresher. It’s a fast food roadside eatery that serves gourmet, high quality ingredients from local farmers and suppliers. Not only did we indulge in an ahi tuna burger (with ginger wasabi slaw on a toasted egg bun!!!), onion rings and a vanilla milkshake, but we also ordered an incredible bottle of wine… not exactly what you’d have in mind for food at a drive in!
Fast food with a twist is popping up everywhere in the event world. I love the casual elgance of this Pica Press invitation. The mixture of fonts and colors harkens to a fun and festive event! It would look great with these mini grill party favors that serve as both candles and candy containers. Pigs in a blanket are turned up a notch with Martha Stewart’s decadent recipe including cheddar cheese and caramelized onions. Bakerella makes a burger and fries a deliciously unexpected dessert making sugar cookie fries and a frosted cupcake & brownie burger. Mini milkshakes from Martha via Yum Sugar are adorable and frosty! A shot of french fries from Life Love Lipstick along with these gourmet mini burgers from Creative Edge Parties illustrates that fast food is approachable and gourmet and can be served from a casual picnic to a black tie affiar.
