For more than a few years chefs have been quietly toying with one of the great culinary combinations: foie gras and doughnuts. But finding a place where you could with any consistently find that so-silly-it-works delight was never simple. Now all you have to do is go to Bed-Stuy. The two-month-old "American izakaya" Do or Dine is doing its best to have the liver delight on its menu Wednesday through Saturday.

Do Or Dine Does Their Doughnuts With Foie Gras
Donut Report: Dunkin' Donuts Grills, Donut Plant Expands, "Dough" Is Really Good!
It's an exciting time in the land of donuts! First, Dunkin' Donuts is branching out to the exciting world of backyard grilling. How, you might ask, does a chain known for their sentimental heart-shaped pastries plan to tackle barbecues? With Dunkin’ Donuts Coffee BBQ Rub, of course! Recommended for use atop choice cuts like "New York strip, porterhouse, filet, etc.," the recipe involves mixing Dunkin' Donuts ground coffee with a variety of spices and seasoning your meat with them. No, it's not a new concept, but something just seems wrong about massaging your premium cuts with coffee from a chain that also makes a Mountain Dew Coolatta.
Pita Bread Mogul's Alimony Rises
A pita bread entrepreneur tried to argue that his ex-wife's alimony demands (when added to his own lifestyle costs) would leave him poor, but the NY Post reports that judges ruled Joseph Ayoub must temporarily fork over $30,000 a month: "$20,000 a month for an apartment for the wife, $7,500 a month in child support, $2,500 a month in alimony." While that is a lot, ex Isabelle was asking for "$52,658.80 a month to maintain her kids' lifestyle, including $7,166 a month for food and $4,583 for clothing"!! The judges noted that Ayoub, who started Aladdin Bakers, paid $200,000 in cash for a Lamborghini—plus how he and his ex slept on a $50,000 mattress (the three kiddies' beds were $6,500 each) and had homes in Manhattan and the Hamptons—"By purchasing the Lamborghini, the husband confirmed his free-spending ways." Isabella Ayoub's lawyer said, "This is the lifestyle they led. Sometimes, it's difficult for those of us not in that stratosphere to comprehend that, but they always lived a very generous lifestyle."
