Most Expensive Pizza
New York's Industry Kitchen recently added to its menu what is being described as the world's most expensive pizza.They're charging $2000 for the whole pizza (I don't think they sell it by the slice). For that you get a wood-fired pizza "topped with stilton cheese, foie gras, truffles, caviar, and 24-karat gold flakes."
Doesn't sound appealing, at all.
For the sake of conspicuous consumption, you could pair it with the world's most expensive potato chip on the side.

And here.
