Food Porn Compliments of Urban PL8 Restaurant

It’s Sunday evening. So we wanted to give everyone something to look forward to before they start their workweek tomorrow. Those of you who employ yourselves, we know how you’ll be starting your workweek after reading this.

Betsy Pitts, chef and owner of Urban pL8 restaurant at 1082 Huff Road in west midtown, has created a dangerously succulent dessert. Don’t let the name deceive you.

The Elledge (six dollars):

Pitts starts with a glazed Krispy Kreme doughnut (she had us at glazed). She cuts the doughnut in half and char grills each piece over open flames. Next, she places heaping scoops of vanilla ice cream in between each piece and tops the Elledge with mint.

It’s as good as it looks:
