The Most Expensive Dishes on Earth

While they're almost always run as a publicity stunt, crazily priced menu items have unarguably garnered restaurants gobs of attention that brings customers into the dining room. Sometimes it's about the food-chef Masa Takayama offers an omakase menu featuring perfect cuts of the highest quality beef and seafood at his Las Vegas restaurant Shaboo for $500. Other restaurants attempt to justify the prices with 'added value.' Hubert Keller has a $5,000 burger on the menu in his Las Vegas restaurant Fleur. The burger is made with Kobe beef, black truffles, and foie gras, but what puts it over the top is the bottle of 1995 Petrus that they serve with it.
