Most Extravagant meal in the World

Most Extravagant meal in the World

Daniel Boulud's Caviar (New York City)
At $205, Daniel's tasting menu is a relative bargain compared to other high-end Manhattan eateries. But it doesn't take much to catapult that check into the stratosphere. Care for some Champagne and caviar in the lounge before dinner? Fifty grams of Boulud's private-label Caspian Sea Golden Ossetra caviar goes for $860.

The French Laundry (Napa Valley)
Even the wiliest concierges have trouble scoring reservations at Chef Thomas Keller's The French Laundry, arguably the best table in America. Each day Keller (and his staff) creates two separate nine-course $240 menus (a chef's "tasting" menu and a "vegetable" menu) each offering a parade of "peak" palatal experiences. Despite the kitchen's dedication to hyper seasonal cooking, it promises not to repeat a single ingredient on either menu. Expect to linger in the chic but cozy intimate dining room for hours.

$1,000 Sultan's Golden Cake (Istanbul)
Upon request the pastry chef at this historical palace will prepare a "golden cake" that has been flavored with fruits marinated for years in Jamaican rum, vanilla beans from Huahine in French Polynesia and wheat culled from French fields. But what makes this the ultimate bakery bling is the generous dusting of 24-karat edible gold. Feeds six.

White Truffle Dinner at Les Amis (Singapore)
For special clients, Les Amis, the elegant French restaurant in Singapore, can arrange a top-to-bottom white truffle menu that starts at a heady $800 per person. That doesn't even include the blue-chip wines the restaurant is famous for.

$5,000 Fleur Burger (Las Vegas)
Created by Fleur de Lys chef Hubert Keller, the man behind Burger Bar in the Mandalay Bay hotel, this burger contains kobe beef, truffles and foie gras. The real cost comes with the concoction's accompaniment, however: a bottle of 1995 Chateau Petrus from Bordeaux. Only a few thousand cases of the wine are made every year.

Nino's Bellissima Pizza (New York)

There's nothing special about the sauce or the crust--this pizza earns its $1,000 price tag with its toppings. Nino's in New York loads down this pie with caviar and fresh Maine lobster. There's also some salmon roe and a little wasabi to give it a kick.
