The Most Expensive Food In The World | Top 10 expensive food in the world 2017 
Precious. Expensive. Elegant. Luxurious. These are just some of the adjectives one can use to describe gold and for good reason. People appreciate gold. But how would you react if someone offers you gold that you can eat? Edible gold? You might wonder if such a thing does exist. But it does. Many classy and high end restaurants now offer gold infused foods on their menu. It might be hard to believe, but the fact is gold has now found its way to the world of fine dining.
Gold is certainly edible, but would you part ways with your money to have a taste? Here are the 10 ritzy foods made with gold.
#10 23-Karat Gold Chocolate Bacon – $39.99 / strip
Combining chocolate and bacon into one is already a bizarre, if not weird, endeavor. Add gold to the equation and you get something that is totally out of this world. But Baconery seemed to be adamant with the idea and soon made it into a reality. Baconery blanketed a strip of Nueske cherrywood-smoked bacon with Guittard semi-sweet dark chocolate. To complete the creation, makers of this striking fare then dusted it with flakes of 23 karat edible gold.
#9 Marni-Laduree Gold Leaf Macarons – $100 / box
In 2009, a Paris-based pastry shop Ladurée teamed with fashion house Marni to create a delectable pastry that fuses food and fashion. This unusual partnership resulted in the renowned Marni-Laduree Macarons. Each of the two-bite size chocolate macaron is made of premium ingredients. To give it a hint of lavishness, the creators decided to cover each macaron in thin sheets of precious, yet palatable gold.
#8 Douche Burger – $666.00
If you are more than willing to shell out $666 from your wallet, then you can try 666 Burger’s most expensive item on their menu – the Douche Burger. Aside from the usual buns and beef patty (which is made of expensive Kobe beef), you will also get imported aged Gruyere cheese, a special BBQ sauce, rock salt from the Himalayas, caviar, foie gras, lobster, and truffles. Precious gold leaf is used as a special wrapping for the patty.
#7 The Thousand-Dollar Bagel – $1,000 per piece
In 2007, Westin Hotel chef Frank Tujague turned the ordinary New York City bagel into something high rollers can appreciate. With the soft classic bagel as base, Tujague then applied some luxury to it, including Alba white truffle cream cheese and goji-berry Riesling jelly. He then speckled it with gold leaf, giving the bagel its ritzy aura. Here’s the catch, the bagel is only served during breakfast hours and must be ordered 24 hours in advance.
#6 24K Golden Torpedo Cigar – $1000 / five-pack
The only non-food in this list, this exquisite cigar from Daniel Marshall is still meant to be savoured and tasted. The DM 24K Golden Torpedo is basically a cigar, lit and smoked for your enjoyment. That being said, the cigar’s premium tobacco is wrapped in 24-Karat Italian gold leaves, which you can enjoy like how you would any other cigar – smoke and chew. And when you are done, just place those golden ashes in the case.
#5 Decadent Cupcake – $1300 a piece
To commemorate National Cupcake Week last year, a golden cupcake was placed on display. It’s list of ingredients was not only long; it was also confusing. Why would someone bake a cupcake with Hawaiian tea? Other ingredients in the mix include peach and champagne jam. It has a chocolate center and its butter frosting is made with Chateau Yquem wine. The whole cupcake was covered in Charbonnel et Walker chocolate fondant. A topping made of gold lead serves as a crown for this very tempting pastry.
