A diner in Washington, D.C. found a way to turn rumors about the president-elect’s sexual proclivities into an edible menu item. Yes, Community Restaurant & Lounge, created a “Golden Showers” burger, and per Nevin Martell, a food writer who helped dream this special up, the burger was an attempt “to pile on as many yellowish components as we could.” For $20, customers got a patty “drenched with self-tanning cheddar and yellow mustard leaking down the sides.” Naturally, it came topped “with a very small pickle,” and was also served with a glass of lemonade and a lemon-glazed doughnut, for an “unforgettable happy ending.”

Unfortunately, the item’s run was short — January 11 only — but the restaurant says $5 from every sale will go toward Planned Parenthood. It’s not clear how big a check the nonprofit should expect, but judging by the response online, people who passed on the promo were more turned off by Community’s foray into “nonpartisan” menu items than by the topic of water sports. Although that’s not really a surprise, and the restaurant seems to be handling things just fine:
