Norma's, Nino's and Seredipity III, Oh My!

Yesterday, on Stephen Colbert's Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert dines and "dashes" on some of the most famous four figure meals in NYC. Colbert "does his part to keep the industry alive."

At Norma's at Le Parker Meridien Hotel, he tastes the Zillion Dollar Lobster Frittata. According to Luxurylaunches.com, "the breakfast dish rolls in six eggs, the tail of a roasted Maine Lobster, 10 ounces of Sevruga caviar, all priced for a $1,000. The caviar used in the Zillion Dollar Frittata supposedly comes from the Caspian Sea sturgeon and retails for $80-$170 an ounce." Doesn't this look like a better way to spend $1k USD than burning it as firewood?

Colbert uses the bathroom run as an excuse to dash on the check.

Then he heads over to Nino's. Nino's Bellissima Pizza has a $1,000 pizza, the Mamma Mia, which is composed of (12") thin crust topped with caviar, lobster, creme fraiche and chives. If that lobster and caviar from breakfast wasn't enough, then you should eat this for lunch! He asks about the pizza, "Does this come with crazy bread? If you think about it, any bread you serve with a $1000 pizza would be crazy." After tasting it, he tells Nino that "this is one of the best 1,000 pizzas that I've ever had....Right up there."

For dessert, Stephen Colbert goes to Serendipity III, like the movie, to finish his food-sploration. He has the Golden Opulence Sundae, costing $1000.
Consisting mostly of 24k gold power, paper 24k gold, and imported chocolate, vanilla, fruits, nuts, all made of money.....then, Stephen Colbert covers his face in gold foil. It is amazing. Please watch the clip.
