$200 French fries: what is the secret of one of the most expensive dishes in the world and where it is sold
The most expensive French fries in the world at Serendipity restaurant
French fries are a very common fast food dish. They are sold in many street stalls and are inexpensive. Many people cook them at home. Who would have thought that they could be the most expensive one in the world?
Today, the FoodOboz editorial team will tell you where French fries and sold for $200 and why their price is so high.
The most expensive dish in the world is listed in the Guinness Book of Records.
In New York City, the Serendipity restaurant serves exquisite French fries, which are hardly street food. That's because they cost $200 and are listed in the Guinness Book of World Records. The high price is justified by the decor made of real gold.
The secret
Champagne and goose fat.
You can understand why the dish is so expensive by looking at the ingredients. Only an elite variety of chipperbec potatoes is used for frying. They are cut into slices, bathed in champagne, and fried in pure goose fat rather than in regular oil. This fat gives the potatoes a real nutty flavor and aroma.
They are blanched or scalded with vinegar and champagne. French fries are fried not once, but twice, so they are fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside.
These fries are served on a crystal plate with an orchid, thinly sliced truffles, and Mornay cheese.
Mornay cheese and gold.
Creative director and chef Joe Calderone called his restaurant a truly happy place to celebrate life's best events and get the best emotions.
Serendipity also claims to have the world's most expensive hamburger ($295) and ice cream ($1,000).
