Now, THAT'S desert!!!

#1 Postby Stephanie » Wed Nov 30, 2005 7:40 pm

According to Esquire's Restaurant Awards for 2005:
Most Expensive Dessert The chocolate-hazelnut brownie topped with gold and served with a 1996 Quinta do Noval Nacional port in a Baccarat crystal atomizer: $1,000 at Brûlèe at the Quarter at the Tropicana, Atlantic City.

That's me!!

Incredible and shameful at the same time, isn't it? :roll:

The day that I have the money to spend $1000 on a desert will be the day I am dead. :lol:

It better taste like and feel like heaven for that price. I sure would like to see a picture of that if there is one. That is just insane, sad part is I am sure they sell a few of those, to people who have money to burn. :lol:

They must've loved their cake so much, that they priced it THAT high. :eek:

I stopped eating desert long ago. Far too gritty for my tastes, although the Saharan had a nice bouquet to it.

In my experience, "dessert" means two cookies between coffee and cigarettes after dinner. :roll:

Yeah, uh, most normal people eat dessert, not desert.

Sounds good though, regardless.

I'm the one that spelled "desert" instead of "dessert", so don't worry about it!! :lol: I'm not normal though... :roll:

I've heard of other "desserts" that have had gold dust on them, though I can't think of an example right now.
