The expensive food craze is getting absurd. If some über-wealthy shmuck wants to pay 25 grand for a sundae, a G for a bagel and a quarter million for a bottle of tequila, perhaps they should reconsider us less so fortunate people who struggle to afford to have a can of beans for dinner.
New York's $25,000 dessert sets Guinness record
Stephen Bruce, owner of Serendipity 3, partnered with luxury jeweler Euphoria New York to create the "Frrozen Haute Chocolate," a blend of 28 cocoas, including 14 of the most expensive and exotic from around the globe.
The dessert, spelled with two Rs, is infused with 5 grams (0.2 ounces) of edible 23-karat gold and served in a goblet lined with edible gold. At the base of the goblet is an 18-karat gold bracelet with 1 carat of white diamonds.
The sundae is topped with whipped cream covered with more gold and a side of La Madeline au Truffle from Knipschildt Chocolatier, which sells for $2,600 a pound.
It is eaten with a gold spoon decorated with white and chocolate-colored diamonds, which can also be taken home.
