Do you love eating out? Do you like to try the latest in food trends? I am sure you know these chefs behind these restaurants: Michael Voltaggio (INK Restaurant), Roy Choi (Kogi Food Truck) and Nguyen Tran running circles as an underground phenom behind Starry Kitchen! These three chefs are part ofa web series of videos built around how to incorporate a secret ingredient into a “Snack Hack”. Each chef creates his own version of a snack hack in their signature style by deconstructing an Oreo into something “brand new”.

The Oreo Shandy is hysterical..I like these ideas because I am a deconstructionist cook..take it part and then put it back another way…very smart
I thought this series was insane. Lemon Shandy was really cutting edge (pun intended) iteration + the Oreo breading for the chicken tenders.. how cool is that?
Mmmm, LOVE Oreos! One of my fave desserts combines an entire box of them, cream cheese, sugar, vanilla pudding…it’s called Dirt and just delicious!
