The $1,000 Bagel

This is just ridiculous:

"The bagel is the creation of chef Frank Tujague of The Westin
New York hotel..."

Anybody can pile on a bunch of expensive (truffle), fufu (goji
berry), and completely tasteless (gold leaf) ingredients onto a
$1 bagel and call it a "creation". It's the equivalent of
scatological performance art.

You don't need to be a chef to come up with something as absurd
as this. And goji berries are nasty! I wonder if they'll knock
of 20% if I order one without goji.
