Got $1,000 for lunch? Try this white truffle bagel


NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - A New York chef has come up with a luxury version of one of the city's staple foods -- the $1,000 bagel.

The pricey bagel, that is topped with white truffle cream cheese and goji berry infused Riesling jelly with golden leaves, joins a list of $1,000 delicacies in Manhattan that includes an ice-cream sundae topped with a 23-karat edible gold leaf and a pizza topped with six kinds of caviar and lobster.
The bagel is the creation of chef Frank Tujague of The Westin New York hotel at Times Square and was designed in part to help raise funds for Les Amis d'Escoffier Scholarship which provides scholarships to students of the culinary arts.
"I wanted to create something that speaks to New York, and is also a reflection of my culinary passion for seasonality and fine ingredients," said Tujague in a statement.

This seems remeniscent of the "$10,000 Martini" they put out a couple of years back. Seems like everytime they want to make a pricey delacassie, they just sprinkle fucking gold flakes on the same old shit.

[EddieMoscone]

Gold Leaf on food is the most ridiculous thing ever. It's one thing to spend bucks on high end items like caviar, truffles, kobe beef, etc., but eating gold just for the sake of eating gold is as pompous as it gets.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

:king:

$20s??? You ham & egger, you either burn Benjamins or you don't burn at all! :wink:

Also:

The Japanese were drinking coffee with gold flakes back in the 80's fer crissake - this is so done.
Since gold comes from the same neighborhood of the periodic table as cadmium and mercury I can't imagine this is good for you on a biological level
Maybe Ron can talk Fez into buying these for everybody, like the $50 Kobe beef burgers way back when
Given the weakness of the $, this is like 5 bucks to the European tourists
Oh yeah, did I mention that I hate the conspicuously-consuming rich?
