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:

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.

PE is the new black.
 

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.

Get busy living

milehighIn 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
