The pizza is made with layers of glazed lobster and mango, Osetra caviar, black truffles, and avocado. The dish was created by Michael Armstrong, chef at Bodega Negra, a Mexican eatery in New York City's Dream Downtown Hotel, and it's available through Feb. 22.

Kaden Newton isn't your average 7-year-old boy in Rockwall, Texas; he's a kid with a passion for helping others that has led him to donate 7,000 food items to hungry families in his community. Diana Newton, Kaden's mom, told WFAA 8 that while on a trip to the Helping Hands food pantry in Rockwell, he noticed children at the pantry were missing out on a few of his favorite treats.

Starbucks Will Soon Start Serving Ice Cream

Starbucks will begin serving ice cream at 100 locations in Orange County, California, to test out their Frappuccino version of the Italian affogato (which means "drowned" in Italian), traditionally a scoop of ice cream anointed with espresso, like a caffeinated sundae. This version will be made with Starbucks' Narino 70 cold brew and chocolate bitters, according to Business Insider. More expensive versions of the affogato will be served at 10 of the upscale Starbucks Roastery bars in Los Angeles, Boston, and Washington, DC. The classic affogato is priced at $6, but the more elaborate Cold Brew Malt, which is made with small-lot cold brew, vanilla ice cream, and chocolate bitters, will cost you $8.50.
