The Donut Daddy’s catchline is he knows what you knead.

A thirst trap for salivating housewives in the US midwest, sweet tooth foodies and almost everyone in between, Melbourne’s Donut Daddy, aka Anthony Randello-Jahn, has become the world’s biggest food porn star.

Yes you read that right, food porn is now a thing, with shirtless chefs and edible erotica taking over the internet, one sticky, glazed, cream-filled donut at a time.

But none of the food porn stars does shameless innuendos (and we thought this column was bad), or has the social media following in the combined millions, quite like Melbourne’s Donut Daddy dubbed the love child of Nigella Lawson and Channing Tatum.

Also the daddy of the double entendre, his captions ooze like a Mills and Boon novel.

Think “I will fill your flower with my dragonfruit”, “roll it tight and fill it right”, or the downright saucy “I won’t stop until your legs are shaking and the neighbours know my name.”

Oh my.

Longing at the camera, he pours runny batter down his shredded six pack, smothers his face into a mound of flour and suggestively manhandles a dragon fruit — Donut Daddy shows a particular penchant for the spiky pink seeded fruit, with several sitting in his fruit bowl ripening in anticipation at his modest spotless Southbank apartment where he shoots all his videos.

Other reels show Donut Daddy licking his tongue inside a pear and slapping (with determined force) some moist cookie dough as he winks for toe curling results, while he pulls cling wrap off pastry with his teeth.

He can even make cracking eggs feel dirty.

So how did a boy from Melbourne working the stoves as a former manager at Grill’d Burgers become the world’s donut daddy?

Speaking exclusively to Page 13, and er, yes without his shirt on, for an exclusive photo shoot to show off his donuts, Randello-Jahn says his 50 shades of batter social media side hustle is all part of his business algorithm.

“It honestly started as a bit of a joke but then over time it got a lot of traction and the videos started going viral,” he said.

But the attention was helping drive traffic and customers to his award-winning Hawthorn Levain bakery and Jamm’d catering business.

The mouth-watering videos can take anywhere from one to three days to film, with Randello-Jahn saying his loyal fanbase is largely in the US.

“You should see the DM’s (direct messages) that come sliding in,” he chuckles.

One can only imagine given the online comments are not for the faint hearted.

“I suddenly identify as a cream-filled pancake,” was a personal favourite, or,

“I could only imagine having this dude over for beers, and he starts dry humping all my kitchen appliances.”

“They are really forward about it,” Randello-Jahn says without a hint of irony. “They like the content and I started responding and it became like a dopamine trap. Now I try and stay away from all the comments because then I don’t have as much time to get content out, it’s like a double edged sword.”

The interview has deteriorated to not knowing what is and isn’t a double entendre anymore.

He says a move to expand his business to the US is on the cards, with several TV executives sniffing him out for potential opportunities.

Surely next stop is adult subscription site Only Fans?

“I have been considering it,” he winks with rose in mouth and donut across nipple, before adding with a smouldering look: “What about Only Pans?”
