Thanks, Ruth (Josh Friedland of Maplewood, NJ), for three years of being the food world's favorite mashup (it's the cronut, now).
The season finale of Melt Master was easily the most heartwarming episode to date. The bakery featured was originally established as a gang intervention program, and is now one of LA's premiere artisan bakeries.
As someone used to a "tiny portions/expensive plates" meal plan in New York, it became obvious as I drove cross-country that plates were getting enormous, as if by 1) magic, 2) me shrinking, 3) me actually being an ant that lived in an ant city and discovering that, say, in Ohio, real people eat big plates.
Uh, we don't know if you knew, but Justin Bieber was videotaped being "an oblivious, self-important little twit" in the wee hours of this morning, relieving himself in a restaurant's kitchen mop bucket instead of in the bathroom. Of all people, perhaps because he senses the impending obsessive tweendom about to befall his little angel, Anthony Bourdain took to Twitter to expel his Bieber aggression on the record.
WATCH: Dominique Ansel Frankensteins The Frozen S’More On A Stick Into Existence; Boasts That It Can’t Be Scalped
Dominique Ansel wields such enormous amount of pastry power that he can reveal his latest unholy mashup creation — the frozen s’more on a smoked stick — in a fancy video on The New Yorker’s website. But while we tremble in fear of Ansel’s tampering with the laws of nature (putting ice cream inside a marshmallow? Heretic!), we have to admit the ingenuity of a frozen treat: they can’t be scalped as easily as a cronut, especially in the sauna-like heat of a New York summer. “You have to eat it on the spot,” he tells the camera with a devious grin. “When you have it in your hands, you have to eat it immediately.”
Watch Ansel genetically modify a s’more below, and feel guilty for liking this perversion of nature:
