Never mind the calories in Four Loko, or the fact that it tastes like the distilled pee of an alcoholic leper -- Four Loko is on everybody's lips right now (figuratively and horribly literally). When it became known that the drink was effectively being banned, a Philadelphia chef started hoarding it so he could create a meal centered around the malt beverage / devil's elixir.
Wanting to get out one last hurrah out of the drink, Mike Levin of Adsum restaurant decided to do so in a manner consistent with Loko consumers: ironically. He incorporated its different flavors into a four-course gourmet meal.
People paid $35 and were treated to Moroccan lamb and BBQ-picnic-style food, all adorned with Four Loko transformed in some micro-gastronomy way and served with special Four Loko cocktails.
People interviewed at the meal said the food was pretty good, but we're guessing they were so Loko'd out that you could have fed them a box of chalk and they would have thought it was aces.
