From Wu steak to Clan pizza, food artists everywhere craft edible homages to the beloved group.

Originally published by First We Feast

With the release of Wu-Tang Clan’s single-copy, incredibly-expensive album Once Upon a Time in Shaolin earlier this year, it’s clear that the legendary rap crew has no fears of losing its cultish fan base.

In fact, admirers of the Wu often express their love by fashioning items of food in the shape of the group’s iconic W logo. Wu-Tang food art is especially appropriate because more than one of the group’s members are conscious about what they eat: Raekwon “the Chef” has always been associated with his cooking prowess, while GZA is a follower of the raw food-movement and has convinced other Wu members to adopt vegetarianism.

The exquisite food artwork below is a testament to just how much Wu-Tang is loved and admired in both the food and art worlds.
