6. Todd English’s “OMG”

It’s sweet, it’s bitter, it’s salty, it’s and explosion of dessert flavors! Also, when it’s hot, it can get cold and when it’s cold, it can get hot. Basically, it plays with all your senses. At the center of the entire ensemble is a small lava cake that is still piping hot and oozes with melted chocolate when you slice through it. Around the cake are silky pudding, cruchy milo cereals, and chocolate ice cream.
