Is It True That A New York Restaurant Is Offering A $1000 Frittata?
Sad, but true. An article appeared in the New York Daily News on May 17, 2004, describing the “Zillion Dollar Frittata” at the Parker Meridien Hotel. The frittata is made of eggs, lobster, 10 ounces of sevruga caviar, cream, and more. The price tag is $1000. Upon inquiry, Gus discovered that this hot frittata was not a joke. In fact, the hotel had sold 8 of them. However, they did offer a frittata at a reduced price (for the rest of us) for a mere $100 (only one ounce of the caviar). What a shame. For an additional $1000, well-heeled diners in New York could fly the entire Hot Frittatas to New York for a truly unforgettable breakfast! We haven’t checked with the Parker Meridien Hotel lately, so you might want to call ahead, if you’re planning a trip. The $1000 frittata may either have disappeared from the menu or perhaps gone up in price!
