First, Chef Daniel Boulud of DB Bistro Moderne in New York created
the first $100 burger. That whopper was made with sirloin steak, layered with truffles, stuffed with braised short ribs, foie gras and more black truffles.
Then the race was on to create the world’s most expensive cocktail - the
Ritz Side Car. Bar Hemingway in the Paris Ritz created the $500 cocktail made with an extremly rare 1830 cognac. British model Kate Moss was apparently seen drinking one.
So is it any surprise that a restaurant in Atlantic City has come up with a $1,000 brownie? Yup, you heard that right (
watch the video report).
Brûlee’s "Brownie Extradordinaire with Saint Louis" is a chocolate brownie made with Italian hazelnuts, dusted with edible gold powder and served with a very rare port. After each bite, the dessert captain squirts a mist of the vintage port on your tongue with a $750 atomizer, which incidentally is yours to keep.
I won’t even try to guess what they’ll come up with next.
