A
while back, I posted a picture of this area's most expensive Pizza,
from Pizza
House in Ann Arbor. That one was only about $25.
Now I see there is one that is a wee bit more than that:

NEW
YORK (Reuters) - A New York restaurateur has cooked up the most world's
most extravagant pizza -- a $1,000 pizza topped with six sorts of
caviar and fresh lobster.
Nino
Selimaj, who runs six pizza restaurants in New York, on Wednesday
unveiled his Luxury Pizza, a 12 inch (30 cms), thin crust topped with
caviar, lobster, creme fraiche and chives. Cut into eight, it works out
at $125 a slice.
"I
know this won't be for everyone but there are people in New York who
can afford it and once tried, they'll be back for more. It is
delicious,"...
I
don't know about that. Seems perverse to pay more for a pizza
that a car payment.

Today the soccer team I coach (on which the younger Free-Ride offspring is a player) had its last game of the spring season.
"Yay! Trophies!!" screamed the players at the end of the game. So, off we all went to the traditional end-of-season pizza party and trophy distribution event.
This week's Ask a Scienceblogger inquires about our other research interests:
Assuming that time and money were not obstacles, what area of scientific research, outside of your own discipline, would you most like to explore? Why?...
In honor of Pi Day, Greta is baking one of our favorite Chicago-style pizzas. This is our reconstruction of the pizza we ate as undergraduates at the University of Chicago.
For weeks, our emergency department (ED) has been "red," meaning that--theoretically, anyway--it is no longer accepting patients. Of course, sick people who come to the door are not turned away.
There's also a thousand dollar omelette in New York. Apparently that's what everything costs there.
You're right. The story about the pizza also mentions $1,000 ice-cream sundae called Golden Opulence which is covered in 23K edible gold leaf.
I wonder what sort of profit margin he's pulling in on that.
And if it tastes like a dog's breakfast, who's going to spit it out and admit they paid that kind of money for garbage?
And who is eating this: the 2% who have stolen all the money, they need something to do with it. You can only carry so much bling, might as well eat bling.
Those better be some good chives!

Probably what they eat at United Health board meetings.
Yes, your health care dollars at work.
