The Top 10 Everything of 2008

2. Western Spaghetti

Filmed in stop motion, Western Spaghetti is a clever cooking simulation, an arts-and-crafts extravaganza that manages to make bubble wrap look like boiling water and lets red velvet fill in for tomato sauce. The ingeniously inedible meal is the work of Adam Pesapane, 35, a digital artist in New York City who goes by the nickname PES. For more of his self-described twisted creations, check out PES's site at eatPES. It's truly magical.
