The 40 Most Expensive Restaurants In America

With almost as many ingredients as dollar signs, this $1,000 sundae at Serendipity is worth every penny. Madagascar vanilla-infused Tahitian vanilla bean ice cream is covered with 23-karat gold leaf, chocolate syrup made from Amedei Porcelana (one of the most expensive chocolate’s in the world), chunks of rare Venezualan Chuao chocolate, candied fruits from Paris, chocolate truffles, gold-covered almonds, marzipan cherries, more edible gold leaf, oh, and a small bowl of unsalted caviar infused with passion fruit, orange, and Armagnac. Because apparently, caviar goes great with ice cream.
