7) The Burger (Burger King London, England)
You probably don’t think of fast food as expensive, but in fact, a special hamburger that recently hit the Burger King menu in West London, England, is changing things up a bit. The popular chain now offers (in this location exclusively) “The Burger,” which is a specialty item made of Wagyu beer and slices of Pata Negra ham. Other ingredients include Cristal onion straws, Modena balsamic vinegar, organic white wine and shallot infused mayonnaise in an Iranian saffron. The results are served on a white truffle dusted bun and priced at $200 a pop, making it one of the most expensive burgers for sale. While this sounds over-the-top, it’s all for a good cause. The proceeds are earmarked for a London charity called Help-A-Child.
6) Sushi (Sushi Masa)
If sushi is your thing, you must try New York City’s Sushi Masa. This Japanese restaurant specializes in the finest sushi that money can buy. All of the food is flown in directly from Japan and the chef adjusts the menu daily according to the best and freshest ingredients that are available. The price of $300 per person or more doesn’t seem to deter the restaurant’s loyal guests. There is such a steady stream of customers that to reserve a table, you often have to call three or more weeks in advance.
5) Lobster Omelet (Le Parker Meridien Restaurant)
Can you imagine ordering an omelet that costs $1,000? That’s what guests at the Le Parker Meridien Restaurant in New York City spend for the restaurant’s masterpiece. The ingredients include an entire lobster, coupled with sevruga caviar and of course, eggs. In fact, half a dozen of them are used in this pricey breakfast treat.
4) Grand Opulence Sundae (Serendipity 3)
The best meal isn’t complete without finishing it off with the Grand Opulence Sundae, which has made Serendipity 3 on the Upper East Side in New York City a favorite ending spot for many of the rich and famous. This edible treat consists of five scoops of Tahitian vanilla bean ice accented with Madagascar vanilla cream and topped with Amedei Porceleana chocolate. The finishing touch on this masterpiece is a design of edible gold leaf pieces. The price for such extravagance is $1,000, causing this dessert to be listed in the Guinness Book of World Records.
