Most Expensive Omelette

Written by: tom Filed Under: Food, Luxury on February 21st, 2007

Have you ever eaten at an expensive fine dining restaurant and when you get the bill asked yourself “was it worth it?” Well, depending on your culinary tastes, and budget, you may or may not find yourself asking this very same question after dining at Norma’s at Le Parker Meridien hotel in New York City.

The restaurant at Le Parker Meridien put itself on the map by offering the world’s most expensive omelette, or as they call it, “The Zillion Dollar Frittata”. This absurdly expensive breakfast item consists of a mixture of eggs, lobster and 10 ounces of sevruga caviar (which costs the restaurant $65 per ounce)…and a charge of $1000 on your bill.

For those who want a taste of the expensive omelette but prefer to not eat their money, there is scaled down version available for $100.

On the menu next to the expensive omelet there is a challenge that reads, “Norma dares you to expense this”. The general manager of Norma’s was quoted saying about the most expensive omelette, “Since we knew it was going to be a very expensive dish, we decided to have some fun with it. It’s not just a gimmick, though. It tastes good.”
