Is $2,000 Spaghetti the New Killing It?
Just try and watch this without laughing. New York restaurants are no strangers to pimping outrageous dishes to garner attention, but I think this one is going to backfire. A $150 Kobe beef hamburger? Yeah, I can almost see that. But a $2,000 plate of spaghetti (which doesn't even include a bottle of wine)? C'mon, bro. Just keep in mind, kids, that in 2006 first-year analysts would've been knocking each other over to order this monstrosity. Bon appetit:
Livin' the raw deal, three course meals, spaghetti, fettucine, and veal
I'm mad the cook is pitching the fact that there's 2 pounds of lobster in there as a justification for the price. Maine lobsters are dirt cheap right now and there's probably just a hint of black truffle in there.
CNBC never fails to deliver the top news stories.
YOURS! All day
It reminds me of that David Cross routine about "tasteless odorless gold". I'm sure some idiots will buy it.
This is like that Gold Sundae at Serendipity. I'm not a huge gold or black truffle fan so it doesn't make sense. Not that I would buy it even if I had the money. No one ever went broke offering rich people a higher status.
Man, I thought I was killing it with a 500% markup on booze. Pasta markup = HolyFuck%. Yeah buddy, you're an inspiration to us all.
In other news, I had Stouffers lasagna last night at a fraction of the price and it was f*ckin delicious
I'm not sure what's more offensive. The $2,000 plate of spaghetti or the fact that you found a Stouffers lasagna to be "f*cking declicious".
I think it's great, especially given the price. Different strokes for different folks I guess
If there's a market for this, then God bless them for exploiting the fuck out of it.
And this is why I only watch Bloomberg TV.
Just bought a dish (it's more with sales tax) ... jokes on them ... I did not tip.
Preftige on a platter.
If you actually made this yourself, it would almost certainly come out to $100, depending on how much truffle is on there and what the included wine is.
i guess i didnt get the memo we were in a bull market...
