got you that fancy coffee you like i don't want it oh so expensive many people believe that a
price tag can accurately indicate whether or not something will be worth it however this rule of
thumb isn't always foolproof especially when it comes to our food and so here's the 4-1-1
on 15 expensive foods you shouldn't even bother trying world's most expensive taco
tuesday did you know that you can make your taco night even fancier well if you happen to go to
mexico you can head over to the grand velas los cabos resort and try the world's most expensive
taco oh and don't worry it will only set you back a measly 25 grand what okay maybe worry a little
the record-holding taco features premium ingredients like langostein kobe beef almost
beluga caviar and black truffle brie cheese all wrapped inside a gold-flaked corn tortilla
decadence sure is expensive so should you shell out the pesos well chances are langostein might
not leave you satisfied like a traditionally cheesy taco can plus think of it this way you get
to save the 25k for oh say your children's college fund or perhaps towards a down payment on a home
fleur burger 5000. this is a tasty burger burgers are versatile and typically very tasty they're
also usually pretty cheap but if you decide to add a bunch of overly expensive toppings you sacrifice
the price point and perhaps even some of the taste and well who wants to do that uh you tell me
no you tell me this is exactly what happened with the fleur burger 5000 sold at the mandalay bay
hotel and casino in las vegas it was created by a self-proclaimed burger fanatic chef hubert keller
who claims to have made the ultimate experience when it comes to a burger yeah we're not so sure
about that the fleur burger 5000 you guessed it costs a wallet burning five thousand dollars
and is made with kobe beef is topped with black truffles and foie gras and a sauce made with even
more truffles sure it also comes with fries and a nice bottle of wine but still this much money for
a basically elite burger combo even in sin city that's gonna be a hard pass the barkley prime
cheesesteak should we get lunch i would love a cheesesteak i was thinking the exact same thing
if you're a fan of cheesesteak then you know all about philadelphia and its unconditional love for
the stuff it is after all a sacred tradition and they take it very very seriously however barclay
prime a restaurant in philly seems to want to go against tradition so they changed the
way the cheesesteaks are made game changer the barkley prime cheesesteak is truffled
cheese whiz which is basically a mornay sauce with truffles and cheese and has wagyu ribeye foie gras
and even more truffles all piled on a sesame roll we're pretty far from the original cheese steak
that's for sure it comes with half a bottle of champagne and will only cost you 120 bucks
golden opulence sunday i think i'd like a hot fudge sundae this next item is called the golden
opulence sundae and the name already says it all this expensive treat is sold at serendipity3
a famed little restaurant in new york city that's been drawing tourists for decades mostly because
of its delicious frozen hot chocolates but now if you've got some money to burn you can just slap
a cool 1000 on the counter and you will be given the golden opulence sundae treatment that sounds
expensive three scoops of tahitian vanilla ice cream covered in 23-karat gold leaf almonds caviar
and a sugar-forged orchid that takes a grand total of eight hours to make the sundae is then served
in a 350 baccarat crystal goblet with an gold spoon on the side that's a lot of bling for just
one cup of ice cream 777 burger this is seriously as good or better than a real hamburger can i get
a couple more to take to work if you've got some extra cash lying around and you don't know quite
what to do with it here's a little piece of advice don't bother spending it on the 777 burger trust
me when i say this served at la burger brasserie the 777 burger cleverly clocks in at seven hundred
and seventy seven dollars and is served with a bottle of rose a dom perignon champagne
to you know help you wash it down it consists of a surf and turf combo of kobe beef and main
lobster along with pancetta goat cheese arugula foie gras and a drizzle of 100 year aged balsamic
vinegar earlier this year none other than gordon ramsay gave the 777 burger a try and declared
that it was disgustingly expensive but bloody delicious zillion dollar lobster frittata you
like seafood do you good okay the zillion dollar lobster frittata doesn't actually cost a zillion
dollars because well that would be beyond a little excessive but it can cost a solid 2
000 big ones depending on the version you decide to get served at norma's at the parker meridian
in manhattan the zillion dollar lobster frittata is made with 10 ounces of ceruga caviar on top of
maine lobster and a frittata base of potatoes eggs chives and cream that's the super size version
oh well i thought but if you really don't feel like downing 10 ounces of caviar you can also opt
for the regular portion with only one ounce of caviar plus this version will only set you back
200 bucks so it's definitely an improvement at one tenth of the price louis xiii very expensive pizza
pizza time pizza can run up a pretty high bill and if you go to a place where they
charge by the topping well however unless you've had the louis xiii
very expensive pizza you don't know what a real huge pizza bill truly is in italy a master pizza
chef renato viola can whip you up a twelve thousand dollar pizza in the comfort of your
own home no need to wait for delivery or to sit at a restaurant table like regular folk all you need
is a residence in italy and an open door uh scoozy baba the poopy cake also peter what are you doing
speaking italian you will get a pizza topped with a bunch of expensive seafood like lobster
mantis shrimp and prawns three types of caviar organic buffalo mozzarella and seven other cheese
varieties and have it served with rare cognac and champagne this pie takes over 72 hours to
make which is definitely part of the expensive factor but still that's a lot of moolah for such a
tiny pizza the juniban from tokyo dog i'm just getting a hot dog for those who needed a spin
on the traditional hot dog seattle's tokyo dog food truck came up with a fancier more expensive
version known as the juniban the juniban is so much more expensive in fact that it even earned
a guinness world record for the most expensive hot dog this shamelessly extravagant hot dog
is available for 169 bucks and is made with a 12-inch smoked cheese bratwurst with gourmet
toppings like maitake mushrooms butter teriyaki grilled onions luxurious wagyu beef foie gras
decadent shaved black truffles rich caviar and tasty japanese mayonnaise all on a brioche bun
i love it it is simply awesome it's undoubtedly a ways away from the ketchup and mustard hot dog
combination you get at a baseball game many people have traveled from very far to get their hands on
a genie bond and most have described it as an explosion of flavors birds nest soup the secret
ingredient of my secret ingredient soup if you're at all familiar with expensive dishes from around
the world then you've probably heard about bird's nest soup at some point the very pricey delicacy
from china is made from dried bird saliva along with pieces of an actual bird's nest yup so it's
not exactly the most appetizing meal ever and yet it still sells for as much as 4 500 a bowl in hong
kong do you think a bunch of moss seaweed feathers and saliva is worth a giant hole in your pocket no
just come on no most people will compare bird's nest soup with slimy chicken soup um yummy and
will say that it has no real distinct taste it is supposedly eaten solely for the texture
nice texture or not the price tag seems a little excessive to essentially eat a heaping bowl of
bird spit black diamond ice cream ice cream i like ice cream at scoopy cafe in dubai it turns out
that you can get the comfort of ice cream and pay a ridiculously high price for it at the same time
black diamond ice cream is considered to be the most expensive ice cream in the world
and for 817 dollars for a scoop it better be this treat consists of a scoop of madagascar vanilla
ice cream topped with italian truffles saffron black truffles and 23 carrot edible gold flakes
wow on the plus side you get to keep the little versace bowl it's served in so that's exciting
we're not saying that this frozen golden dessert doesn't taste good but you might still want to
find a cheaper version for everyday consumption casumarzu now describe what you taste cheese and
cheese ever heard of maggot cheese yes you heard correctly maggot cheese oh yeah yeah
gross right guys as in a wheel of cheese crawling with little bugs surprisingly maggot cheese
actually called kasumarzu is a true italian delicacy and is very time consuming to make
which is why it sells for about a hundred dollars per pound 100 smackaroos per pound
for what well kasumarzu needs to be cured for three weeks until the top is cut off to expose the
cheese to flies then three months later boom you have a colony of larvae living inside the walls
just lovely side note kasumarzu is locally protected in sardinia due to its status as a
traditional product but it was also classified as illegal by the italian government in the 1960s now
that's some dicey cheese hopi luak kopi luwak the rarest beverage in the world if you think the
coffee at starbucks is expensive then just wait until you hear about kopi luwak one single cup of
kopi luak can easily go for as much as a benjamin that's right a cool 100 bill why well because it's
made of palm civet poop what did you say okay yes there's a lot to unpack here like for starters
what are palm civets well they are little mammals found all over southeast asia sri lanka nepal and
india also called luak in indonesia luwaks eat a lot of berries and coffee beans but the only
problem is they can't really digest the beans you see where this is going right they end up in their
feces and people thought it would be a good idea to pick up the partially digested coffee beans
and make coffee with them the industry has grown and today kopi luak is curiously pretty popular
we bet that nine dollar undigested frappuccino is looking a lot better right about now isn't it
doucheburger i am america's number one douche the doucheburger was actually created as a kind
of a joke to mock all of the other supposed douche burgers out there the foie gras stuffed burger was
sold by nyc food truck 666 burger and was probably the most outrageous thing available on the menu it
cost 666 bucks and came with a foie gras stuffed kobe patty covered in gruyere cheese melted with
champagne steam along with lobster truffles caviar and a barbecue sauce made with kopi luak the civet
digested coffee beans that's interesting that's very interesting the price was justifiable because
of all the premium ingredients but this one was more about for making you feel rich than satisfied
billion dollar popcorn money money money money once again burko's billion dollar popcorn doesn't
actually cost a billion dollars but it's still a pretty hefty price for a bucket of kernels the
luxurious popcorn costs five dollars per kernel so beware of running up a nice final bill if you're
planning on enjoying a star wars marathon may the force be with you while yes it is still a little
less expensive than many things we've seen on this list so far you can't deny that spending so
much money on popcorn sounds kind of wild it's so pricey because it is covered in 23-karat gold leaf
and salt from the island of lesa while being mixed with vermont creamery butter with strong hints of
nielsen massey bourbon vanilla it just seems to us like a good old bag of microwave popcorn could do
the trick as well but hey it's up to you to decide it's your dollar canada rouhanis we'll have the
now this next one is definitely not going to be for everybody so perhaps the squeamish should
take a step outside right about now canaan is a classic french dish invented in the 1800s and
is said to be quite delicious the only problem is twofold number one it's a super expensive
and number two the preparation process looks like it's a torture scene out of a horror film
pass yeah kenner is french for duck which is cooked rare with its breast and legs removed
before being placed over heat in cognac the carcass is then skinned and squeezed until
all of the juices have come out sparing some details the sauce is made with consomme champagne
coagulated blood and liquefied guts of the duck before it's reduced and served with the meat let's
just say this meal isn't for the faint of heart or for anyone not willing to pay between 75 and 120
dollars for a piece of this gory duck delicacy that is of course if you've still got your
appetite after learning how this dish is made get a taste of more great videos just tap or click hit
