Chef Josh Elkin, known for his Chicken Corn Dog Bleu-ing and Pizza Caking, has Larry O’Brien’d his way into food history with his endearing rendition of the infamous NBA award. With a base of noodles/garlic bread, and crowned with a glorious cheese-stuffed meatball, Elkin’s creation is a beautiful contribution to the world of sports-food crossovers.

Even more majestic—the trophy’s internal pool of marinara lets a stream of sauce gently runneth over the cup, down the body of bread in all its glory.

Josh Elkin is the real MVP.
