…trimmed with 24 karat gold leaf. That’s all I can come up with here.
Over on the left, I serve up a regularly-updated slice of my “Choice Cuts” from the web. Last week sometime, I included a link about a restaurant that set the new Guiness record for most expensive dessert:
The dessert 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.
That’s a lot of very expensive crunchy bits. And now, you almost want to question what some of those bits were:
Serendipity 3 on the Upper East Side failed its second consecutive health inspection in a month on Wednesday night after health officials found a live mouse, mouse droppings in multiple places, flies and dozens of live cockroaches, the Heath Department said.
I don’t know how many people actually ponied up the $25,000 to eat like a king, but I’m willing to bet there won’t be many asking for a second helping.
