A New York hotel has laid claim to the world’s most expensive omelette, which will set you back $1,000. Called the Zillion Dollar Lobster Frittata, it is featured on the menu at Norma’s restaurant in Manhattan’s Le Parker Meridien Hotel. So what differentiates this lavish dish with your average $10 diner-style omelette? It is packed with lobster and caviar. The 10ounces of American Sturgeon caviar piled on top of the omelette ordinarily retails for about $65 an ounce.
With $650 worth of caviar sitting atop the expensive omelette, the extra $350 is made up of one whole lobster, eggs, cream and chives, the dish’s main ingredients, and then the hotel’s overheads.
10. Margo’s, Malta — $2,420 White truffle and gold pizza
This pizza has white truffles, buffalo mozzarella and a 24-carat edible gold leaf. If you want to order this pizza, you need to give the restaurant 1 week’s notice to make it. The truffles are flown in from Italy and the pizza is topped with buffalo mozzarella and 24K gold leaf. Definitely not a pizza that you could order from “Dominos Pizza” with a side of potato wedges.
