Serendipity3 is coming to Boca!!!

Ick. OK sure. It's like me saying despite the chemical spills, I'm gonna vacation in Chernobyl for the scenery. I'm sure I could have my Mom's cats take a dump in cat litter and it'd taste better.

Plop, plop, ese!

New York's $25,000 dessert sets Guinness record

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A day after New York City came up with a $1,000 bagel, a local restaurateur unveiled a $25,000 chocolate sundae on Wednesday, setting a Guinness world record for the most expensive dessert.

Stephen Bruce, owner of Serendipity 3, partnered with luxury jeweler Euphoria New York to create the "Frrozen Haute Chocolate," a blend of 28 cocoas, including 14 of the most expensive and exotic from around the globe.



The dessert, spelled with two Rs, is infused with 5 grams (0.2 ounces) of edible 23-karat gold and served in a goblet lined with edible gold. At the base of the goblet is an 18-karat gold bracelet with 1 carat of white diamonds.

The sundae is topped with whipped cream covered with more gold and a side of La Madeline au Truffle from Knipschildt Chocolatier, which sells for $2,600 a pound.
It is eaten with a gold spoon decorated with white and chocolate-colored diamonds, which can also be taken home.

"It took us a long time to experiment with all the ingredients and flavors, and more than three months were needed just to design the golden spoon," Bruce told Reuters.

Four years ago, Bruce unveiled a $1,000 ice cream sundae called Golden Opulence, a staple on his menu and a favorite with rock stars, socialites and other celebrities.

Both desserts are sold only with advance orders. Bruce said he has received inquiries about his latest creation, mostly from Europeans planning to visit New York.

"I wouldn't be surprised if soon we get a call from a Middle Eastern prince or Shah willing to give something sweet to his many wives on his next trip to the city," Bruce said.

On Tuesday, New York chef Frank Tujague of The Westin New York hotel at Times Square unveiled the $1,000 bagel, topped with white truffle cream cheese and goji berry infused Riesling jelly with golden leaves. Sales will help raise funds for culinary school scholarships.

"edible 23 karat gold"? How about leave the precious metals out of the recipe and lower the price?

What a bunch of horse shit!!!!! So I decided to call them up to find out. And ALL the restaurants at the Boca Raton Resort & Club are only for resort guests & club members.

WTF maite! Why couldn't Serendipity open anywhere else in Boca?! Hell, even in a ritzy, PUBLIC part of Boca, but c'mon... Why close it off to the rest of the public?!

Oh, NOT happy day!

That is ridiculous! You can eat Sunday brunch at Carman's on the roof and you don't have to be a guest. Perhaps they are keeping it low and telling everyone that only guests can eat there.....for now. Perhaps if we all B---- they will change their mines!! I am calling them myself to complain!!!
Let's keep trying!
