Here are some of the most expensive foods!
And just wait until you hear how much Salt Bae charges just to add some gold to a steak!
10 - Rolls Royce of Tacos For a modest price of $25 THOUSAND dollars,
you can get the world’s most exclusive taco!
You’ll just need to go to Frida's restaurant in Grand Velas Los Cabos Resort, on the Pacific
coast of Mexico.
With this taco, of course there’s gold involved – an infusion of gold is found on the corn
tortillas.
There’s also the exquisite combination of Kobe beef, beluga caviar, civet coffee, black
truffle brie cheese, langoustine, and dried Morita chile pepper salsa.
As if all these ingredients weren't enough, even MORE gold is added to the taco as an
embellishment.
Let’s keep in mind that the 25 thousand is all for just ONE single taco.
How many of these tacos do you guys think they’ve sold so far?

9 - Billion Dollar Popcorn $5 for a SINGLE KERNEL of popcorn.
This is how much Chicago-based company Berco charges!
They’ve made it their mission to provide an unforgettable experience for whoever buys
their billion dollar popcorn.
And of course, it’s covered in gold.
But that's not just it.
There’s organic sugar, butter from some Vermont Creamery, and Nielsen Massey Bourbon
Vanilla.
There’s a very special salt that brings everything together and it’s produced only
on the Danish island of Laeso.
According to ancient mythology, the island of Laeso was a place where many Gods would
feast.
That’s why this salt is so special.
The process to create it is known to be at least a thousand years old, and supposedly
the salt doesn’t taste like any other salt.
The creator of Berco's popcorn had to make some calls to the Danish consulate, fly to
Denmark, and have a meeting in an office that was behind a couple of bank vault style doors!
8 - Louis XIII Pizza Renato Viola is one of Italy’s best Master
Pizza Chefs in the world.
This is why he charges eighty three hundred Euros for the most expensive pizza in the
world!
He’s a proud member of the Italian Acrobatic Pizza Team.
This team has won various awards in pizza making competitions in Italy and all across
Europe.
So what’s on the pizza?
Let’s just say there’s a whole bunch of expensive ingredients.
The dough is made with certified organic flour with natural yeast and paper-thin flakes of
pink salt from Australia’s Murray River.
The salt is highly mineralised and flaky and it provides the dough with a delicate flavour
and texture.
And the dough takes 72 hours to make for some reason.
Then there’s caviar.
And not just one, but THREE different kinds of caviar!
There’s also lobster, prawns, and a special mantis shrimp.
So far, this is a pizza for seafood lovers.
Then there’s SEVEN different types of cheese, including organic buffalo mozzarella.
Okay, then there are the drink pairings to go with the pizza.
It’s served with Remy Martin’s Louis XIII Cognac and Krug’s Clos Du Mesnil 1995, a
fruity Champagne.
That’s where all those euros will go!
Is this pizza wayyyy too fancy or no?

7 - Bird’s Nest soup Bird's nest soup is exactly what you think
it is - a soup made out of a bird's nest.
But here’s where it gets interesting.
Chinese culture swears by its special properties, which Chinese people think helps people stay
younger.
A diet that includes at least 10 grams of bird’s nest soup a day is said to help increase
the chances of keeping your energy up and youthful looks longer!
No wonder people pay a fortune for this dish; a kilo of white nests can sell for up to $2000
dollars, while a kilo of red nests can sell for up to TEN thousand dollars!
The type of nest that’s used for the soup is only produced by a very specific type of
bird, the Swiftlet that lives in Southeast Asia.
Swiftlets are known to be an endangered species.
With the rising trend of Chinese people consuming enormous amounts of soup made from their nests,
the chances of swiftlets surviving decreases by the minute.
6 - Chocolate pudding $35,000 dollars is what it costs for the world’s
most expensive chocolate pudding.
But this dessert is much more than chocolate pudding covered in gold.
It's the combination of some of the most expensive ingredients.
Even a diamond was thrown in!
Starting with a light biscuit joconde at the bottom, this chocolate pudding stands along
a layer of champagne jelly specially created for this concoction.
The dark chocolate base is then embellished with some edible gold leaves and a diamond.
This pudding can only be found at Lindeth Howe Country House Hotel, in England.
The pudding was first bought by a 60-year old man who wanted to splurge for his birthday.
This pudding broke the record at the time for the most expensive dessert in the world!
5 - Almas' Beluga White Caviar Caviar is known as the quintessential food
for rich people.
But, there’s a specific caviar that takes it to the next level.
Known as the creator of the rarest Beluga white caviar on the market, Iranian brand
Almas has managed to create an air of mystery around the production of caviar!
Almas' Beluga White caviar currently holds the Guinness World Record for the most expensive
caviar in the world.
It’s created using only eggs from a rare albino sturgeon more than 100 years old!
As the sturgeon get older, their eggs apparently become smoother and more aromatic with a spongier
texture.
One kilo of this caviar will run you around 25 thousand dollars.
But if you feel like just trying it out, 30 grams is around 330 bucks!
4 - Yubari King Melon The Yubari King melon is gonna be tough to
beat when it comes to expensive fruits.
In 2016, a pair of these melons were auctioned for the crazy amount of over $27,000!
This melon is as exclusive as it gets because it can only be produced in the region of Yubari
in Japan.
Yubari King Melon is known for its very sweet taste, which isn’t very common for a melon.
Not only is it considered a delicacy among food connoisseurs, but it’s also seen some
of the highest bidding wars ever known for a fruit.
The man who won the auction said that he felt the need to support the Yubari region farmers,
who he thinks year after year provide some of the best fruits in the world.
Although the price he paid isn’t the usual price for these melons.
Their usual price range is still quite high.
Normal ones still are quite expensive.
They go for about $50 to $100 dollars a piece!
3 - Golden Opulence Sundae A thousand dollars and a reservation 48 hours
in advance is what it takes to try the Golden opulence Sundae in New York City!
This sundae is made at Serendipity 3, an extremely exclusive restaurant in New York's Upper East
Side.
The Golden Opulence sundae is a mixture of Tahitian vanilla ice cream, infused with a
layer of Madagascan vanilla, topped with chunks of Venezuela's finest chocolate, and Amedei
Porcelana chocolate syrup.
All of this is covered by, of course, a generous layer of 24 karat gold leaves!
2 - Golden Steak By this point, we feel that anything with
gold is as gimmicky as it gets!
THIS golden steak is coming from a guy who’s entire business empire EXPLODED because of
a gimmick!
Who would have thought Salt Bae sprinkling salt from his hands in a specific way would
have made him a star?!
Salt Bae, or aka Nus’ret, recently started offering steaks plated in gold.
Without the gold leaf, his Tomahawk steaks already cost an expensive $275 dollars.
With the gold?
It’s $1,000 bucks!
In case you’re wondering, no edible gold isn’t that expensive at all.
10 sheets of edible gold leaf is only $25 bucks at Walmart, and that’s not buying
in bulk!
But what’s the point of having gold in food anyways?
Gold doesn’t have a flavor nor taste.
It doesn’t taste metallic because it doesn’t dissolve in our mouth.
And there’s essentially no texture because edible gold is so thin!
All gold gives is presentation!
So really, what do diners get when they order a golden steak?
In reality, a gold steak just gets attention from people sitting close.
Salt Bae may want to present the steaks with sparklers like ordering an expensive and big
bottle of champagne at a club to promote sales!
But one thing he DEFINITELY doesn’t want to do is serve it completely randomly!
That was Duane Miranda’s experience when he visited Salt Bae’s restaurant in Miami
with his friends.
They ordered a few steaks on their night out.
The steaks arrived covered in gold, but they didn’t think too much of it.
Well, that was until a bill that was over $5000 dollars arrived!
Duane and his friends protested that they never ordered the gold steak.
So the staff called the police!
Long story short, they were forced to pay the bill.
What would you do in that situation?

1 - Bluefin Tuna The Tuna King strikes again!
This time it was for 3.1 million dollars!
In January of 2019, Kiyoshi Kimura set another record when he bought a 612 pound bluefin
tuna at the Tsukiji fish market auctions.
The Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo is known for providing some of the finest seafood in
all of Japan, if not the world.
They’re also well known for their bidding process for fish where prices fly by the second.
Kimura broke his own record he set in 2013 when he bought another bluefin tuna for the
price of $1.7 million dollars.
These prices are established as a publicity stunt, and Mr Kimura has been the highest
bidder at the new year’s auction for 8 of the past nine years.
On a normal day a similar sized fish would sell for around $60,000 thousand dollars.
The record is all about status because it creates a lot of publicity for Kimura and
his sushi empire.
The famous bluefin tuna is found off of the northeastern coast of Japan.
The problem is overfishing, and it’s made the bluefin tuna an endangered species.
Here's what's next!
