Despite the warm wood and cheery red accents, Smitten Ice Cream can feel a bit like a mad scientist’s shop. There’s the industrial-sized tank of liquid nitrogen that greets you inside the entrance of its new flagship location in Oakland. And there’s the billowing clouds of nitrogen when the stainless steel ice cream machines churn out personalized scoops to order.

Tequila is the answer to many of life’s problems—and now, a sweetener made from the stuff might just be the answer to our diabetes and obesity pandemics, too.

These days, just casually strolling down a grocery aisle, one can find a multitude of gluten-free products. From gluten-free whole grain bread to gluten-free beer to gluten-free Betty Crocker chocolate brownie mix, the market for food items without gluten has exploded over the past decade. But is gluten all that bad for you? Should a normal person avoid gluten in their diet

Sliders. They’re made so you can eat different burgers with different recipes instead of a big monolith. But I want to eat these three Lolita burgers: "potato chip encrusted, foie gras pâte à choux, a sultry sweet onion jam, bacon peanut butter, pan seared foie gras, and a grass-fed beef patty."

Thanks to what looks like a little square of jello, you could tell your milk has gone bad without even opening the (gross-smelling) container. The gel is actually a nanorod-embedded smart tag that changes from red to green, mimicking the growth of bacteria in milk without touching it

Eating a slice of pizza on the go isn’t the neatest option on the menu. But it’s technically a quick meal on the go, and if you’ve gotta eat, you gotta eat.
Aiming to make eating pizza less of a mess is KonoPizza.
With over 130 locations worldwide, KonoPizza serves up pizza in a cone in all sorts of outrageous flavors, including the likes of Tiramisu pizza that’s filled with cream, biscuit and coffee syrup. There’s also the breakfast-in-a-cone pizza called Pancetta Prima that’s filled with eggs, bacon, and cheese. If you’re not as adventurous, you can go for the usual pizza toppings as your cone fillings, like cheese, sausage, and ham. Plus, each KonoPizza is portion-controlled, so they’re actually pretty low in calories and fat.
So far, there are only a couple of U.S. locations of Kono Pizza, including one in Edison, New Jersey, and another opening very soon in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Mmm-hmm!

Few things are better than eating a burger and fries, even if it comes from McDonald’s. This might qualify though: a full McDonald’s meal—burger, fries, coke—made completely out of cookies. Everything is somehow a cookie! Made by a Twitter user’s sister who’s presumably a master baker, it’s pretty incredible work. I mean, those fries? That patty? A cookie? Whatever. I want to eat it.

Buying meat is hard. Unless you’re a butcher or a chef, it can be difficult to tell what’s what. Does a Boston butt actually come from a cow’s butt? Where is the tenderloin? Smart graphic design can make it a little easier to answer these questions.

Sushi is at its most delicious when it’s simple. Obviously years of training is required to become a master sushi chef and details matter immensely but you can boil down the essence of sushi to rice and fish. Yum, however you slice it. But could you make sushi even simpler? One sushi chef did. He used a single grain of rice to create flavor packed nibbles.
