Chapter 12 breakfast at tiffany

1 lobster, 10 ounces of caviar, 1 tablespoon of chives, 15 tablespoons of butter, 5 tablespoons of fresh cream, 6 eggs fried into egg skins, rolled, and the asking price is US$1,000.This is the "Zillion Dollar Frittata" (Zillion Dollar Frittata) launched at the Le Parker Meridien Hotel in New York in mid-May. The "Norma Restaurant" in Le Parker Meridien is known as the "rich man's dining hall" in Manhattan, and it is not far from the Tiffany headquarters on Fifth Avenue.Based on this background, although the price of this breakfast is undoubtedly "sky-high", it is

It also happens for a reason.Besides, as far as the market price of caviar is concerned (take the top Beluga as an example), it costs more than three hundred dollars per 125g (approximately equal to 4.4169 ounces). If the quality and quantity are sufficient, no matter whether the taste of the lobster and eggs is good or not, I personally think that it should be worth the fare if it is so-so.At the very least, it can be regarded as a more genuine Tiffany breakfast - the one that Audrey Hepburn hid in the brown paper bag, only one Danish bread, plus a cup of coffee. Of course, the (recognized) preciousness of materials often constitutes only one part of the "sky-high price", and the other part lies in the unreasonable "plenty".Although I have also swallowed more than 10 ounces of caviar in one breath with a ladle in one hand and a can in the other, although the technical difficulty of upgrading those caviar to Beluga should not be high in my imagination, but only one breakfast 10 ounces of caviar is too much for a single person (for one person!), let alone a whole lobster and 6 eggs.The matter was just as Yuan Mei said: "I saw a certain eunuch entertaining guests. The big bowl was like a vat, and four liang of boiled bird's nest was tasteless. People competed for praise. Yu laughed and said, 'I came to eat bird's nest, not to sell bird's nest. Also.' Can be sold but not eaten, although it is a lot of ridicule? If you are just boasting about your face, it is not as good as putting a hundred pearls in a bowl, which is worth tens of thousands of gold. What if you can't eat it?" The only customer so far expressed his impressions afterwards, "This caviar is enough for 10 people."Of course, if Le Parker Meridien is not opened in Manhattan but in Harlem, I am willing to withdraw the above opinion without reservation.

After reading this news in the newspaper, I was in Guangzhou, thousands of mountains and rivers away, and the restaurant manager of Le Parker Meridien, thousands of mountains and rivers away, looked forward to the appearance of the first customer of the "sky-high price breakfast". It paid off, about three weeks later, that is, one morning on the third or fifth day after the news appeared in the newspaper, the pleasant bell finally rang in the Norma restaurant. He sat down in front of lobster, 6 eggs and 10 ounces of caviar... After paying the bill, he said with satisfaction that the taste was good, and you couldn't find such a dish in ordinary restaurants.

Dust to ashes, dust to dust, Caesar to Caesar, everything seems to be perfect, the only regret is the identity of the customer, he is Anthony Harwood, a reporter from the British "Mirror".Because of this, I suspect that Anthony's original mission is to keep an eye on the first Kaizi customer of the "sky-high price breakfast".Just because the target customer didn't show up for a long time, after consulting the London headquarters, his brother was happy to be a winner himself.Of course, according to the internal management policy of the "Mirror", this kind of good job may only be applicable to restaurants and the like, and it is strictly limited to less than 1,000 US dollars. If Meridien had opened a room and waited for the adulterer to come to meet the female celebrity, and if she waited as hard as the female celebrity in the room, the story might have a different ending.

There are those who dare to sell because there are those who dare to eat. Eating and being eaten treat each other like a reed.Not to mention a $1,000 breakfast, even if one person wants to eat another person, the other person will be willing to be eaten by him.According to Mawes, the leading man in the German "cannibalism case" that was tried at the beginning of this year, since he posted an announcement on the Internet three years ago to find people willing to be eaten by him, a total of 6 volunteers have come to apply.According to Buddhism, all things in the world are related to each other, which is the result of causal relationship. One thought must be caused by another thought. Then he grabbed a handful of caviar and piled it on top of it, and happened to be seen by the restaurant manager who passed by the kitchen during the shift change, and the latter marked a price of 1,000 US dollars-all these seemingly "random" behaviors, It’s not “casual” in terms of causation: it’s all because someone somewhere on the planet has a sudden desire to spend $1,000 on such a “expensive breakfast”.

Another example, wake up and you suddenly (or for the ninth time this quarter) have a thought, "It would be great if someone sent me $10 million today for no reason", even though the thought is three minutes later. When you turn the flush wrench on the toilet, you go downhill, but you still need to maintain a clear understanding that it is not a random delusion.The reason for this thought is that at that moment, somewhere on the earth, someone wanted to give 10 million US dollars to someone for no reason-the only difference is that the "expensive breakfast" in New York passed The spread of the media finally found customers in a certain place in London who came to eat him from all over the world; through the Internet, the cannibal in Germany also found 6 people who were willing to be eaten by him, and he was eager to sell 10 million people. The guy who gave you dollars for nothing has yet to get in touch with you.
