An illustrated guide to celebrity eating habits with a surreal twist is sizzling on Instagram. @CelebsOnSandwiches imagines playfully gaudy caricatures of the rich and famous, from Snoop Dogg (chicken and waffle sandwich) to fictional characters like Tyrion Lannister (braised beef sandwich), perched atop sandwiches they've spoken about or that creator Jeff McCarthy infers match their personality. "Deciding which sandwich to pair with which subject varies from person to person," McCarthy tells The Creators Project. Sanders, for example, sits on a meatball sub because he devoted an entire press event to getting Mrs. Robino's meatballs with Vice President Joe Biden in Burlington, VT. Action Bronson earned himself a spot on a chicken cheddar biscuit because that's a sandwich he enjoyed in a video for our food-focused sister site, Munchies.

"I always try to choose subjects who I think would appreciate the humor," McCarthy says. Comedians are thus an obvious target, and one of the most spot on mashups is Ilana Glazer with the "garbage bagel" from Broad City Season 1. So far, Snoop Dogg, Lena Dunham, and George Takei are but a few of the names who have embraced his delectable take on their likenesses. He continues, "Our obsession with celebrity and pop culture is crazy, so the goal has always just been to bring some levity and humor to it all."

We asked McCarthy to sandwich-ify a few of the most influencial creative minds of the last half century, and he delivered. "Quentin Tarantino would be on a Royale with cheese," McCarthy suggests. "Andy Warhol might be on grilled cheese dipped in a side of Campbell's tomato soup. And Kanye West would be on a fish fillet, in reference to the song from Watch The Throne."
