This exists! Keizo Shimamoto's brainchild began as a dream and rapidly turned into a reality. Because there are so many different things you can do with ramen and burgers, you can now create endless varieties. Make mine a ramen double cheeseburger with jalapeños, please.

Martini purists might dispute that this cocktail is properly called a martini. For example, Neatorama commenter nihil once wrote:
Dear Interwebs/Chain Restaurants/Peeps who love booze,
Stop calling every cocktail you make up a "martini." True martinis are a very small group of drinks and do not include things like chocolate, apple schnapps, or fruit. Also, serving a cocktail in a martini glass doesn't make it a martini any more than putting an elephant in a lake makes it a fish.
Sincerely,
Martini snob
I won't dispute this argument. But I would definitely try Brown Sugar's delicious-looking cocktail made of vodka, peanut butter syrup, hot fudge and peanut butter cups.

Slater's 50/50, home of the legendary all-bacon cheeseburger, has just released their monthly specialty burger and this one sounds particularly fantastic. It's a nacho burger topped with melted cheeses, lettuce, onion, tomato, black beans, bacon, tortilla strips, fresh salsa, and guacamole, then wrapped in a flour tortilla and deep fried and smothered in nacho cheese sauce, sour cream, and sliced jalapeños.
I think we need to schedule a Neatorama food field trip to Slater's.

His wife left him in charge of labeled the corn harvest for the freezer. He thought labeling them was silly because the cobs were in clear plastic. But he did it anyway. Link
Do you need to know more, or are you already licking your monitor? JB made her sweet concoction with graham crackers, brownie mix, Nutella, chocolate pudding, cream cheese, Cool Whip and chocolate chips.
BLTs are great...with the exception of the bread part. So why not spruce up your next sandwich by switching out the boring old sourdough with a delectable seared scallop? Plus, this might be the only way you can get away with serving BLTs at a wedding or black tie affair.
Or maybe you could just call it an octopi. I can't find the baker or photographer, but I found a song about it. It looks dreadfully delicious. -via Nag on the Lake
Update: The artist/baker who made this is Sandy Yoo. -Thanks, Buster Stanley!
Andrea of Cupookie made this impressive set of cookies inspired by the classic children's game. With a few modifications, this version might become playable.

Cronut, the hand-crafted hybrid of donut and croissant, is no longer so artisanal. It took Dunkin' Donuts just two months since it was created by Dominique Ansel bakery in downtown Manhattan to mass produce the confectionery:
A Dunkin Donuts spokesman told Quartz that the chain introduced the “New York Pie Donut” this past weekend. Dunkin Donuts also launched a “Donut Croissant” in Manila a few weeks ago but has no plans to introduce them in the US right now.

These exist! It had never occurred to me to combine these two wonderful flavors, but now I can imagine how well they would work together. Faith Durand's s'mores consist of toasted marshmallows, graham crackers and key lime pie filling.

For a going-away party for a co-worker who likes burritos, redditor parakeetpoop made her first cake that looked like something besides a cake. The cake itself is chocolate with a fondant wrap. The lettuce is colored coconut, the tomatoes are strawberry fruit snacks, and the meat is a crushed chocolate bar. It looks so realistic that it made commenters crave burritos instead of cake! Link
