Grand bagel. The Westin Hotel in Times Square is selling a $1,000 bagel to help raise scholarship funds. “The bagel is topped with Alba white truffle cream cheese and goji berry infused Riesling jelly with golden leaves. The white truffle … is the second most expensive food in the world … It’s grown from late autumn to winter beneath certain oak trees in the Alba region of Italy, where trained pigs and dogs are called upon to find the delicacies.”
Rich chocolate. “A New York eatery is offering a $25,000 dessert bulging with top-grade cocoa, edible gold and shavings of a luxury truffle. The Frrrozen Haute Chocolate was declared the most expensive dessert in the world on Wednesday by the Guinness World Records.
