Jump the Shark Summer; Pork Slope's Bottomless Brunch

BAY RIDGE — This weekend kicks off Robicelli's insane Jump the Shark Summer where the bakers will be turning out all sorts of crazy things like cakes made with duck fat that are deep fried and coated in "some sort of bacon Sriracha and locally-foraged mango glaze, or some equally intense stuff." This Saturday's dessert will be vafflecake: waffles slathered with sour cream custard, stacked into a pile, covered with burnt sugar and sliced up. [Tumblr]

MIDTOWN EAST — The Peacock is launching a new $40 prix-fixe dinner menu tonight that will run through September 1.
