This Week in Food: These Doughnuts Glow in the Dark

These Australian doughnuts glow in the dark — and taste like yuzu

The jury is out on whether these luminous pastries actually look delicious or totally off-putting, but they’re currently blowing up Instagram in the only place they’re currently being sold: Sydney.

“Unicorn Pizza” is here to fill the rainbow-shaped hole in your heart

Starbucks’s much hyped Unicorn Frappuccino broke the internet briefly back in April, but was only available for a few days. Since then, a technicolor torrent of Lisa Frankenfoods has been unleashed on Instagram, and this mess of rainbow-colored sugar cookie dough, sprinkles, and cotton candy is the latest.

For what it’s worth, I’m old enough to remember when this monstrosity dessert would have just been called a cookie cake.

The Trump administration gave McDonald’s a major win this week

The Department of Labor just rolled back an Obama-era legal recommendation that attempted to clarify the nuances in employee and employer relationships. It’s a decision that’s going to make it that much harder for fast-food workers (and employees of other major corporations with franchised businesses) to fight for benefits and a livable wage.

Watch how this Atlanta couple creates the perfect fusion of Korean and Southern BBQ

Think pulled-pork sandwiches stuffed with kimchi, miso-injected brisket, and smoky gochujang ribs. It’s exquisite.
