While tooling around the internet this lazy Sunday I came across an over priced food item which inspired me to find more and share them with you all. Enjoy.
The Boca Raton Resort and Club has a $100 hamburger to get you in the mood.
At about 5-1/2 inches across and 2-1/2 inches thick, the mound of meat includes beef from three continents -- U.S. prime beef, Japanese Kobe and Argentine cattle. It's garnished with organic greens, exotic mushrooms and tomatoes.
The Westin Hotel in Times Square offers guests $1000.00 bagel.
The bagel is topped with Alba white truffle cream cheese and goji berry infused Riesling jelly with golden leaves.
Chef Domenico Crolla, from Glasgow, created the $3700.00 Pizza.
The pizza is sprinkled with gold and topped with champagne-soaked caviar and lobster marinated in the finest cognac.
New Yorks beloved Serendipity is now selling a $25000.00 sundae.
made from a blend of 28 cocoas from all around the world and is infused with five grams of edible 23-karat gold and served in a goblet lined with edible gold. It is topped with whipped cream, more gold and a side of La Madeline au Truffle from Knipschildt Chocolatier, which sells for $2,600 a pound. It even comes with souvenirs, an 18K gold bracelet with a carat's worth of diamonds that rests at the base of the goblet and a gold spoon set with white and chocolate-colored diamonds.
And not to leave out drinks: The Hemingway Bar at the Hotel Ritz in Paris has a $489 Ritz Side Car.
The cocktail contains 1865 Ritz Fine Champagne.

My daughter told me about the ice cream last night as we went by the Dove bars at Safeway. Now I believe her. BTW, she said the burger looked gross.

Those who pay $100 for a Kobe burger can consider themselves duped by a culinary charlatan. Kobe beef is valued for its marbling and fat, the stuff that makes it taste so f-ing incredible; cooking it as a burger drains most, if not all of the delicious fat from the burger. The same argument could be made for the Argnetinian beef. Just ask Anthony Bourdain. ;-)
It's all in how you season and cook the meat.

Boca Raton, the area of excess.
Also the area of PESD Post Election Stress Disorder.
