If we go to a restaurant or food court, of course we gonna order delicious foods with reasonable price, right? But how could people eat a food that cost up to $290???
Here are some of the MOST EXPENSIVE foods in the world!
Let's start with Burgers! :)
Price: starts from $295
What Makes It So Expensive: Le Burger Extravagant
is made with white truffle butter-infused Japanese Wagyu beef, topped
with James Montgomery cheddar cheese, black truffles and a fried quail
egg. It’s served on a gold-dusted roll spread with white truffle butter
and topped with a blini, crème fraiche and caviar. If that weren’t
enough to excuse the price, it also comes with a solid-gold,
diamond-encrusted toothpick.
There’s Competition Though: While they may not be recognized by Guinness, New York food truck 666 Burger offers the $666 Douche Burger
that features a Kobe beef patty stuffed with foie gras and gold-leaf,
covered in caviar, lobster, truffles, Gruyere cheese melted with
champagne steam and BBQ sauce made with Kopi Luwak Coffee.
While the burger was a satire of La Burger Extravagant, it is actually
available for sale, but as of yet, only one person has actually ordered
it.
There’s also the Fleur Burger 5000,
from Vegas restaurant Fleur that features a Wagyu beef and foie gras
patty with truffle sauce and shaved black truffles. Your order for this
$5,000 burger also includes a bottle of $2,500 wine, Chateau Petrus, so
really, you’re not just paying for the burger -- but still, the $2,500
burger might be the world’s most expensive, even if it’s not official
yet.
Who loves Chocolate Ice Cream? This is the $25,000 ice cream. You'll melt when eating it!
Price: $25,000
What Makes It So Expensive: The Frrrozen Haute Chocholate
ice cream sundae contains a blend of 28 cocoas, including 14 of the
most expensive in the world. It is decorated with edible gold and served
in a goblet lined with edible gold. As if all that weren’t enough,
there is an 18 karat gold bracelet with 1 carat of diamonds in the
bottom of the sundae, and the treat is served with a golden spoon
decorated in white and chocolate diamonds, both of which go home with
the dinner.
Who doesn't love curry, one of the most popular food in India? Of course everyone does!
Price: $3,200
The Most Expensive Pie!!
Price: $14,260, or $1,781 per slice
What Makes It So Expensive: The Zillion Dollar Lobster Frittata contains 10 ounces of sevruga caviar, one pound of lobster, six eggs, cream and chives. While that might not sound that impressive, consider the fact that the restaurant has to pay $65 per ounce for that particular caviar.
Want to taste $1,000 bagel? Go to Westin Hotel, New York and you can find "Gold-Leaf" Bagel
Price: $1,000
What Makes It So Expensive: Executive Chef Frank Tujague topped the most expensive bagel with white truffle cream cheese and goji berry-infused Riesling jelly and gold leaf. At least a portion of the proceeds are donated to the Les Amis d’Escoffier Scholarship, which benefits current and future culinary students.
The Most Expensive Hot Dog in Capitol Dawg, Sacramento
Price: $145.49
What Makes It So Expensive: The California Capitol City Dawg is a ¾ pound, 18” all-beef frank with French mustard, garlic and herb mayo, sautéed shallots, mixed baby greens, applewood smoked uncured bacon, Swedish moose cheese (which costs $200 a pound), tomato, dried cranberries, pepper and a basil olive oil/cranberry-pear-coconut balsamic vinaigrette. It is then served in an herb focaccia roll toasted in white truffle butter.
The most expensive Ramen in Fujimaki Gekijyo, Tokyo
Price: $110 per bowl
What Makes It So Expensive: This isn’t the ramen you snacked on during your college days. Owner/chef Shoichi Fujimaki opens the doors to his menu-less, reservation-only restaurant to those who have already dined at one of his other restaurants. Once you get access to the restaurant, you will be served the Five-Taste Blend Imperial Noodles made with over twenty ingredients and two different soup stocks.
Qualified Soup in Kai Mayfair, London
Price: $190 per bowl
What Makes It So Expensive: The Buddha Jumps Over the Wall contains shark’s fin, abalone, Japanese flower mushroom, sea cucumber, dried scallops, chicken, huan ham, pork and ginseng. Orders must be placed five days in advance so the chef can source all the ingredients.
The most expensive sushi - Request it From Filipino Chef Angelito Araneta Jr.
Price: $1,978.15 for five pieces
What Makes It So Expensive: Well, each piece of sushi is wrapped in gold leaf and topped with caviar, three Mikimoto pearls and served with a diamond. No word on what fish was actually used on the inside of the sushi rolls, but I’m kind of hoping it’s imitation crab.
The most expensive Ham in The Food Hall in Sefridges, London
Price: $2,682 for a 15 pound ham (about $180 a pound)
What Makes It So Expensive: The Albarregena Jamon Iberico de Bellota is made from pigs that were only fed acorns and roots to give them a distinctive flavor. The ham is then cured for three years before being put in a handmade wooden box with an apron handmade by a Spanish tailor. And just so you know what you’re getting, each ham comes with its own DNA certificate confirming its authenticity.

caviar, gold leaf, a Scottish lobster coated in gold, four abalones and
four quail eggs.
The Most Expensive Pie!!
Price: $14,260, or $1,781 per slice

(that cost around $400 a pound), winter black truffles, and French
bluefoot mushrooms (they go for around $160 a pound). Two bottles of
vintage 1982 Chateau Mouton Rothschild wine are used in the gravy
(another $1,740 per bottle) and the crust is covered in edible gold
leaf.
Frittata! What's that? Well, it's an egg-based dish similar to an omelet or quiche, enriched with additional ingredients such as meats, cheese, vegetables or pasta. Sometime, it's also flavored with herbs.
