The Most Expensive Day’s Worth of Food Possible

This was a fun article: “How much could you spend in one day on food?”

“I was thinking recently as I watched some of these ‘lifestyles of the rich and famous’ type shows, what would really be the ultimate in extravagant, unnecessary opulent indulgence? After some thought, (maybe because I was hungry) I put together the ‘The Most Expensive Days Worth of Food Possible.’“

You know there’s going to be some damn good chocolate in there, right?

This is called a Golden Opulence Sundae and is sold at Serendipity 3 (home of the famous Frrrozen Hot Chocolate) in New York City for $1000. It was created to celebrate their 50th anniversary in 2005 and they sell about one a month:

“Made with 5 scoops of the richest Tahitian vanilla bean ice cream infused with Madagascar vanilla and covered in 23 carat edible gold leaf, the sundae is drizzled with the world’s most expensive chocolate, Amedei Porcelana, and covered with chunks of rare Chuao chocolate, which is from cocoa beans harvested by the Caribbean Sea on Venezuela’s coast.

The masterpiece is suffused with exotic candied fruits from Paris, gold dragets, truffles and Marzipan Cherries. It is topped with a tiny glass bowl of Grand Passion Caviar, an exclusive dessert caviar, made of salt-free American Golden caviar, known for its sparkling golden color. It’s sweetened and infused with fresh passion fruit, orange and Armagnac.

The sundae is served in a baccarat Harcourt crystal goblet with an 18K gold spoon to partake in the indulgence served with a petite mother of pearl spoon and topped with a gilded sugar flower by Ron Ben-Israel.”
