We're back with another Frontend Challenge, and this time we're hungry! 🍜🥧

Running through August 16, Frontend Challenge: Comfort Food Edition invites you to build something inspired by the food that makes you feel at home.

Show off the dish you make when nothing else will do, build a site for a restaurant that exists (or one that only lives in your head), share the recipe you've been perfecting for years, or put a spotlight on a regional dish that deserves more attention. Whether you're a CSS connoisseur, a JavaScript chef, or somewhere in between, there's a prompt here for you.

We hope you give it a try!

The Prompts

CSS Art: Comfort Food

Create a work of art using primarily CSS! Let food be your inspiration: a steaming bowl of ramen, a stack of pancakes, a perfectly cut slice of pie, or the dish you grew up eating.

Note: We're now allowing a sprinkle of JavaScript in CSS Art submissions! However, judging will continue to focus primarily on the CSS component, so keep JavaScript usage light and purposeful. The star of the show should still be your CSS skills.

Perfect Landing: Comfort Food

Build a polished, functional landing page with a food theme. This could be a real or imaginary restaurant, a recipe collection, a food festival, a love letter to a regional dish, or anything else you can imagine, as long as it captures the theme and demonstrates excellent frontend fundamentals.
