Guinness World Record 24K Pizza, Industry Kitchen; New York: $2,000

For those who think New York is just 99-cent slice shops, a trip to Industry Kitchen will certainly change their mindset. A 48-hour heads-up will get the kitchen started on preparing a pizza topped with stilton cheese, foie gras, Ossetra caviar, shaved truffles, and 24-karat gold. If that doesn’t feel decadent enough, you can throw on half an ounce of Almas caviar for an additional $700.

Fleur Burger 5000, Fleur; Las Vegas, $5,000

Why spend 99 cents on a burger from McDonald's when you can spend $5,000 on a burger at Fleur in Vegas? This particular burger may not come with a happy meal but it does come with wagyu beef, seared foie gras, a mound of shaved truffles, and a bottle of 1995 Chateau Petrus (a super high-end Bordeaux) to wash it all down. Cheers to hitting the jackpot.

The Gold Experience, 212 Steakhouse; New York: $400

Kobe beef is the Rolls-Royce of steaks, and when you wrap Kobe steak in 24-karat gold leaf you’re basically enjoying the epitome of luxurious foods. You can try the steak of King Midas’s dreams at 212 Steakhouse in Manhattan which sells a 6-ounce gilded steak for a casual $400.

Billion Dollar Popcorn, Berco’s Popcorn; Chicago: $2,500

It’s hard to imagine dropping $2,500 on a tin of popcorn when you can buy a $8 refillable tub at the movie theater but this isn’t the stuff you’ll find at your local AMC. Made with organic sugar, Vermont Creamery butter, Nielsen Massey Bourbon Vanilla, the most expensive salt in the world from The Danish island of Laeso, and 23-karat gold flakes, this popcorn isn’t something you’ll grab by the handful. If you want to taste Berco’s luxurious treat but can’t commit to spending two month’s rent, a reasonable $5 will get you a sample.

ZD Abacus Dinner, Bourbon & Bones Chophouse; Scottsdale: $20,000

OK, so this isn’t technically a dish, it’s a full-fledged feast. Throwing down $20,000 at Bourbon & Bones in Scottsdale, Arizona gets you a six-course dinner for 12, which includes a hand-selected customized menu complete with 12 32-ounce dry-aged wagyu tomahawk ribeye steaks, a three-liter bottle of limited edition ZD Abacus wine, and transportation to and from the restaurant in a limo. It’s kind of like going to the prom, if you paid $20,000 for your prom.

Japanese Wagyu A5+ Steak, Old Homestead Steakhouse; New York: $350

You’ve never had a steak until you’ve had an A5 wagyu steak. These cuts are the highest quality pieces of beef out there which is why the 150-year-old establishment charges $350 for 12 ounces of this premium cut. If that feels like too much of a financial commitment, there’s a more reasonably (ish) priced six-ounce option for $175. What a bargain.

High Roller Roll, Sushi Roku; Las Vegas: $250

Nothing says “I won big” quite like dropping $250 on a roll of sushi. This off-menu roll at Sushi Roku includes lobster tail, tuna, wagyu beef, avocado, asparagus, golden Ossetra caviar, truffle oil, and gold leaf. Because that’s how high rollers roll, right?
