If you dream of satisfying your taste buds with extravagant delectables, look no further. Rich and luxurious food items are available to satisfy the most discriminating taste of those for whom money is no object.

Start of your day of extravagant eating with a $1000 omelet from Norma's at Le Parker Meridien in New York City. This six-egg omelet is so expensive because it is filled with caviar and lobster.

If you want something lighter for breakfast, enjoy breakfast in New York City's Times Square at the Westin New York Hotel. A $1000 bagel is offered there topped with edible gold leaf, white truffle cream cheese, and Riesling jelly.

What's this?

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Am I crazy? I have no desire to spend this kind of money on food. I mean a grand on a bagel?! Now, I don't mind paying for a nice meal out, but that's going overboard IMO.

I would not either. When in New York I buy from street vendors.$120 will feed me for a month.

Well you should have a least one nice meal in a restaurant.

My husband's late father swore sausages from a street vendor were the absolute best.

How do you pass by homeless people and look them in the face after spending 25,000 on a sundae, 1,000 on a bagel, or 1,000 on an omelet???

I don't know. Do you realize how many people could be feed from the money spent on the three items you mentioned?

If I had that kind of money I might have a $30 meal and then donate some to a homeless food program.

Caviar! This was made famous because the taste overwhelmed the terrible champagne and vodka they had to drink. It is nothing but a status symbol for the people with a lot more money than sense.

It is useless to point out how many others could be fed with the money. The people spending it have absolutely no use for charity (unless you get to spend $1000 a plate at a society dinner)
