On a recent cold day, I headed to Oooh Wee It Is on 79th for the most rib-sticking snack I could think of.

The bite: A pot roast cupcake ($5.99) that starts with a cornbread muffin base, topped with silky mashed potatoes, melty cheddar cheese, rich shredded pot roast and green onions.

The verdict: This dense mountain of comfort food delivers a full meal of love in a humble cupcake box.

  • Just don't try to stand it on the container for a picture, because it might flop over onto the window seat and make a mess.
  • And then everyone in the place will stare at you.
