Saccharine sitcom Friends and Cronut-creator Dominique Ansel: together at last. The chef has created a new treat for Valentine's Day, which references one of the show's more memorable scenes, where Phoebe explains true love through lobsters. Adorkable. The lobster-shaped linzer cookies come with a "You're My Lobster" note, and a rep for the bakery confirmed to us that yes, this is a nod to the below scene, adding, "So very New York and nostalgic." They roll out this Friday, but remember, if you buy them for someone that's it. True love, forever. No breaks.
