Sure, you can go to Masa anddrop $1,160 on dinner for two, but why stop there when you

can order a frittata, pizza, or ice cream sundae for nearly that much each? Or, even

better, why not just go all in by burning through $3.95 million on a strawberry dessert?

Restaurants from New York and Las Vegas to Sri Lanka and beyond compete to create the

world's most outrageously expensive dishes some certified, some not, but certainly all

over-the-top. Some use gold leaf and foie gras to jack up the prices, while others go for

pricey cuts of meat or rare wines to accompany. Plus, of course, there are the diamond

engagement specials.

Eater reached out to restaurants and bars around the world who are known for their high-

rolling ways to find out the story behind theirwhale-friendly dishes and see how many

of these they actually sell. Here now, 18 of the most expensive dishes and drinks in the

world and in the interest of not having entirely steaks and burgers on the list, somehonorable mentions, too:

$100 hot dogs and $3.95 million desserts. >>>

18. DougieDog, Vancouver $100 Dragon Dog

WhenDougieDogowner Dougie Luvset out to make the world's most expensive hot dog,

he didn't want to use some of the ingredients restaurants traditionally use to kick up their

prices such as caviar. But, as he tells Eater, he sure didn't mind high-end meat. So this

$100 foot-long bratwurst is infused with hundred-year-old Louis XIII cognac and topped

with fresh lobster, picante sauce and Kobe beef seared in olive and truffle oil. Luv says he

has sold 783 of these dogs since creating them last year and while he usually requests 12

hours notice the restaurant does keep three on hand just in case.

17. Barclay Prime, Philadelphia $100 cheesesteak

Stephen Starr'sBarclay Primedresses up the Philadelphia classic cheesesteak with wage

ribeye cut down with foie gras and topped with truffled homemade fontina cheese on a

sesame roll. It also comes with a glass of Dom Perignon 2000 and comes out to the tune

of $100. According to a rep, people order the cheesesteak pretty often and usually in

groups. There's no need to order it in advance.

16. Kai Mayfair, London $170 Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup

The Guinness World Record for the world's most expensive soup belongs to London'sKai

Mayfair, though some changes have been made since that record was logged in 2005.

While the dish once contained shark's fin, an employee tells Eater that particular (and

controversial) ingredient has been replaced with noodles to go along with the abalone,

Japanese flower mushroom, sea cucumber, dried scallops, chicken, huan ham, pork and

ginseng. It must be ordered with five days' notice and sells for 108 ($170).

15. Bar Masa, New York City $240 Masa toro with caviar

It's pretty easy to rack up quite a bill at New York City'sBar Masa, but it'll go a lot quicker

with just one order of the Masa toro with caviar roll. This is an eight-piece roll that will set

you back $240 because, well, fatty tuna and caviar are not cheap. It'salso on the menu at

Bar Masa's Vegas outpost, and is served with a crispy, buttery brioche.

14. The Old Homestead Steakhouse, NYC $350 steak

For those whales who love to drop a lot of money of expensive cuts of meat, August 2012

brought some very good news. That was when the US Department of Agriculture lifted its

import ban on Japanese beef, meaning the great return of Wagyu beef for those who

can afford it.Old Homestead Steakhouse's New York City location offers the A5 Kobe

served NY Strip-style in a 12-ounce portion for $350. They recommend to reserve the

Wagyu steak in advance as apparently "steaks fly off the grill as quickly as the beef arrives"

at the restaurant. According to a rep, on any given night, they sell as many as 25 Wagyu

steaks.

Serendipity 3 [Photo:Facebook]

12. Serendipity 3, New York City $1,000 Golden Opulence Sundae

Perhaps the most well known of all these dishes is the $1,000 Golden Opulence Sundae

at New York'sSerendipity 3. First created in 2004 for the restaurant's 50th anniversary,

the Golden Opulence involves three scoops of Tahitian vanilla ice cream infused withMadagascar vanilla beans, topped in 23K edible gold leaf, sprinkled with a couple of

expensive and rare chocolates plus there's the candied fruits, gold dragets, chocolate

truffles and bowl of caviar. It's sold in a Baccarat Harcourt goblet with an 18K gold spoon,

naturally. About 200 of these have been sold in the nine years since it was created,

according to a rep, who adds that there are two more reservations coming up on

Valentine's Day. These sundaes require 48 hour advance reservation because the ice

cream and caviar are flown in.

10. Norma's, New York City $1,000 Zillion Dollar Lobster Frittata

There are two versions ofNorma'sfrittata for high-rollers: there's a $100 frittata with only

one ounce of caviar on it or the $1,000 frittata topped with 10 ounces of caviar. The

latter is officially the world's most expensive omelette,according to the Guinness Book ofRecords, and also involves one pound of lobster covered in egg on a bed of fried potatoes.

According to a rep, the restaurant at New York's Le Parker Meridien sells about 10-12 of

the $1,000 Zillion Dollar Lobster Frittatas throughout the course of a year and that same

number per month for the $100 dish. There's no need to order in advance.

9. Margo's, Malta $2,420 White truffle and gold pizza

An employee who answered the phone at Margo's Malta tells Eater that the pizzeria needs

one week advance notice to make its white truffle and gold pizza only available during

truffle season from October through May.As its menu indicates, the truffles are flown in

from Piemonte and its minimum price is 1,800 ($2,420), depending on the price of white

truffles. The pizza is topped with organic water buffalo mozzarella and 24K gold leaf. As the

menu reads, "This is not just a pizza, this is a sign from God telling us how great She is."

8. Fleur, Las Vegas $5,000 FleurBurger

Part of chef Hubert Keller's inspiration for the eye-popping $5,000 Fleur Burger 5000 at

his Las Vegas restaurantFleurwas borne out of competition: In 2005, Keller noticed Daniel

Boulud had a burger that was $100 and wanted to beat it. So this Kobe beef burger comes

topped with seared foie gras and truffles on a brioche truffle bun. But what really jacks up

the price is a bottle of 1995 Chateau Petrus wine and the two crystal stemware glasses

that the restaurant delivers to the home of anyone who orders the burger. So far, a rep tells

Eater the restaurant has sold about 26 Fleur Burger 5000s and there is no need to order in

advance.

Chef Marc Guibert of the Lindeth Howe Country House Hotel in England's Lake District

went after the world's most expensive dessert titlein late 2011 with a chocolate pudding

that costs 22,000 ($34,531). Shaped to look like a Faberge egg, the pudding is made

with high-end chocolate, gold leaf, champagne, caviar and a diamond. It's layered with

champagne jelly and laced with edible gold. So far, a rep tells Eater Guibert has sold just

one egg. The dessert must be ordered two weeks in advance.

with MS Rau antiques on a proposal package that includes theirsignature Strawberries

Arnaud dessertand a diamond ring. While the original 4.71 carat ring is no longer available,

it has been replaced with a 7.09 carat pink diamond to accompany the dish of strawberries

served in a marinade of port, red wine, spices and citrus with vanilla ice cream. "Needless

to say," she writes, "it is our worst selling dessert."
