Most expensive thing you've ever ate/drank?

Most of a bottle of JW Blue Label. Wish I could've said a bottle of Cristal.

I've had meals in the $100-$150 per person range, nothing very expensive.

Cristal after high school graduation because my friends and I are idiots. 250$ a bottle I think I paid.

If we are talking drinks at a bar/club this is definately my case. My buddy (anonymous 2+2er) took a bunch of us out after a good night and we drank some handles of kettle for 200 a pop. If we are talking most expensive, as in from a store, I had some JW blue label and it was amazing.

It was. I've seen people drink tequila in a snifter too. Oh! I've had a 30 dollar shot of tequila... can't remeber the name but it was very smooth.

Looking back... wtf was I thinking wasting this money away?!

Things that were worth the money:
Cristal champagne
Kobe beef carpacio
Black truffle on brie.

Things that were not worth the money:
Uni - gross and tasted bad
Any and all expensive vodka - Make no impression on me.

[mmbt0ne]

Never had a shot over $6, a drink over $15, or a meal over $50.

[SammyKid11]

Guess it was a formal event that was about 500/head, 800/couple. Lots of great food, great wine, etc. But I didn't pay for that, so it doesn't count.

As far as what I've paid for myself...200-dollar bottle of Dom for New Year's...any meal at Al Biernat's in Dallas sets you back several buy-ins (at Backgammon or whatever game you happen to play).

My most expensive meal was at Paul Bocuse's L'Auberge du Pont de Collonges in Lyon.
The meal was about $300 per person (not including the wine which was about $100). The best part of the meal was an unbelievable black truffle soup. I'll also add a picture of the place beacause it is so beautiful:

[JihadOnTheRiver]

Food: I was at a lobbyist funded drug-company/politician dinner and had a Kobe beef filet that ruined all other steaks for the remainder of my life.

Drink: I've had all the requisite Scotches, Cognac's, and Champagnes, but the one drink that costs more then all others is Tiger Penis liquor. It tastes like hell but you can't even begin to imagine how expensive it is.

[BottlesOf]

IT depends on how you define most expensive. I've had black, white truffels (very small quantities) so on per oz. basis I guess that wins. I've had some expensive wines, but nothing off the meter.

[rohjoh]

1. Friends bachelor party, we had a 3800 bar tab at Body Enlish in the Hard Rock, which included $1100 bottles of Cristal. FYI, when you pay $1100 for a $250 bottle of chapagne, they bring it out on a silver platter with sparklers. I was not paying, so it was cool.

We started with some cocktails, Kir Royale. Every french meal starts with an "aperitif".
My first course was this delicious and well-known Black truffle soup. It was unbelievable. The flavor of the truffles was so esquisite and the consistency of the soup was just perfect.
My next course was Beef Rossini with a Perigueux sauce which is also truffle based and was served with vegetables (I do not remember which ones). The beef was so tender, the weight of the knife was enough to cut it.
I believe the wine chosen was a mature Claret, I do not recall the name though.
Next course was of course the cheese and salad. I chose a salad with warm goat cheese on toast. Excellent.
Dessert was an assortment of small pastries.

What was very spectacular about this place was the surroundings. The place is charming and very intimate. There is a beautiful garden behind it where you can sit and enjoy a nice cognac. An unforgettable experience.

If you have the opportunity to travel to France, I would highly recommend to stop there. It is worth the trip and the money. I was introduced to Mr. Bocuse and got to talk to him for a few minutes. It was just an incredible experience.

[poincaraux]

[not a high roller]
Most expensive meal: Charlie Trotter's (http://www.charlietrotters.com/). Also the best meal I've had. I had the Grand Menu (the Kitchen Table was booked) and a different 1/2 (1/4?) glass of wine with each course.

Obligatory truffle story: In college, we mannaged to get school funding for the Gourmet Cooking Club. It was sweet. Per ounce, the most expensive thing I made was twice-baked potatoes. They were made with white truffle oil and had ~1.5" of thinly sliced black truffles on top. Yum.

Never had a shot and only one bottle of mediocre beer.

Can't recall directly but I'm relatively certain I've never had a meal cost more than $25. My daily food bill is in the ~$10 range and even when I go out to eat I keep the bill under $5 if possible.

Dinner at top of the world 240+ tip....

I went to a bar in the middle of March somewhere in central Ontario with 150 of my closest friends. I ordered a pint of beer for $3.50 and left a $1.50 tip. At the end of the night, after the bar is closed down, we're about to hop on a bus for a 40 minutes ride back home. I know I won't be able to make it that far without going for one last bathroom break. So I jog around the corner and begin to relieve myself behind the bar, when...
"Excuse me, sir. Can you put that thing back in your pants?"
Enter police officer, who proceed to collect my identification and hand me a ticket for "depositing in public". Add $130 to the cost of the beer.

Total: $135.00 for a pint of Canadian beer.

There is a farm in Virginia that got some of the Kobe cows. They feed and raise them the same way and everything. Not sure if it still qualifies as Kobe although everything about it is the same as the Japanese meat.

For anyone in No. Va, the Fairfax Wegman's sells Kobe steak and ground beef and it's not too expensive. In fact, I almost always buy it instead of a regular steak.

[Arnfinn Madsen]

A lot of $300+ dinners, so I don't really remember which one is the most expensive. 3 that sticks out to me though as the best ones are the following:

I. I was invited to Amsterdam by CISCO to go to Amsterdam to meet some of the managers and ground floor workers at their regional headquarter. At that time I had lately traveled a lot inside Scandinavia, in which you did not need a passport and thus I managed to forget my passport /images/graemlins/blush.gif. At the airport, I remembered and told a CISCO-representative that was there to hand me the tickets about it. She said she could fix a later plane for me, but then I would miss an extraordinary dinner. It was appx. 40 minutes until the plane was leaving so I decided to hurry up. I ran to the police station to try to get a passport, but there all the officers were busy with a Swiss guy who had been expelled and seemed to be in serious trouble. I was polite, but after 5 mins I just told the police officers that I need their help immediately. They told me I would not get a passport without a picture, so I had to run to the other side of the airport to get a picture and then run back. They put the Swiss guy on hold and gave me an emergency passport and I then ran to the gate. The CISCO-worker had explained the situation, so the airline kept the doors open longer than ordinary, so that I could enter.

In Amsterdam, having checked in at the hotel and taken a shower /images/graemlins/smile.gif, some CISCO representative picked me up and we had a nice walk to the restaurant. It was definately worth the running, it was a sushi restaurant and we were sitting on a circular table with two designated chefs with a kitchen in the middle. They kept making sushi and other dishes to us for some hours. Watching them prepare the food made the dinner more exciting. I am a sushi lover and the taste was heavenly, never before or after have I tasted such good food.

2. On a visit to Paris, my employer (Alcatel) had hired a woman to organize dinner a night for me and my guests. She delievered /images/graemlins/laugh.gif. We drove by a bus to an old castle previously owned by the Rotschild's family (if Mslif is reading maybe you can give me some information on this place since I met only French-speaking people there /images/graemlins/wink.gif). When we entered the stairs had people standing on both sides with costumes (from 17th century I think). They made a fanfare to salute our entry. Inside we entered into a room where the tables were filled with served drinks and waitresses with traditional customes to serve additionals, so we had a good party before entering into some dining hall. The food was surprisingly mediocre (usually it is very good in France) with some goose pate and some meat from wild animals but having the castle to ourselves was a great setting for a nice dinner/party.

3. In Paris about 2-3 am regular hang out we had (Latina cafe on Champs Elysses was closing) and some women we had met offered to show us the nightlife (nightlife meaning after 3 am /images/graemlins/smile.gif) of Paris. First we went to a ordinary night club on Champs Elysses. Then I convinced them to join me to go to a strip club, since I had a lot of friends that had gone there. They had a good time at the strip club and when we left the strip club at 5am we started to get hungry. They took us to a nice restaurant on Champs Elysses that was surprisingly open. Having a 3-dished dinner at 5 am when being drunk and tired was really a nice/slightly absurd experience, and kept us partying till about 9 am. What we ate and drank I don't remember /images/graemlins/smirk.gif.

In general, all the wining and dining in Paris was really the best part of working for a French company since exclusive restaurants in Paris are really good. In other cities, I haven't always been too impressed with exclusive restaurants, but in Paris they almost never fail to deliever.

[/ QUOTE ]

That is for the most part correct. Most people who think they have had "Kobe beef" have actually not had real Kobe beef.

The general takeaway from most of this stuff is that if you've had a "Kobe steak" or "Kobe burger" or something like that, you probably haven't had Kobe beef. If you've had something like Kobe carpaccio, there's a higher chance you had real Kobe beef.

I think I've posted this stuff before, interesting reading.

- good overview. (http://members.tripod.com/~BayGourmet/wagyu.html)

Apparently much of the "Kobe beef" sold in Japan are actually cows from the Wagyu breed, raised in the US using "Kobe procedures" and then shipped back to Kobe for slaughter.

Some more information (http://www.american.edu/ted/kobe.htm) -

There was a US ban on Japanese beef import from 2001 due to mad cow. But that ended in Nov 2004, so you can once again obtain true Japanese-raised Kobe beef here at some places.
