Lobster Corn Dog — Sharky's Fish Stand

It might sound odd, but this place actually makes lobster sausages to use for this dish, which is deep-fried like the classic and served with a homemade lemon aioli. "Nothing but pure lobster meat right there," Anthony said.

Macaroni-and-Cheese-Stuffed Bacon Burger — Stuffie's Char-Broiler

When cheese on top of your burger just isn't enough, head for this stuffed burger. It's got macaroni and cheese baked right into the meat, and it's all covered with bacon and served with a side of peanut butter-and-jelly french fries. "That's not bad!" Anthony said.

Spaghetti Ice Cream — Cardinali Family Ice Cream

Don't worry, there's no actual pasta in this. It's just vanilla ice cream that comes out looking like spaghetti. Then, it's topped with strawberry "marinara" and chocolate "meatballs." "I didn't know what to expect with this, but this right here is delicious," Anthony said.
