A $54,000 Dinner

A 268 dish dinner for $54,000. I thought Dubai was the land of conspicuous consumption but it looks like China has it beat.

From NPR...
Next up on my plate is a deer's lip, soft and smooth with a chewy outside layer. After that there's sea cucumber with the meat of a swan goose, a rare waterfowl found in Manchuria.

You can forget about getting a quick takeout from Sun's restaurant. His imperial feast contains 268 dishes, not including appetizers and deserts. His clients take up to a year to sample all 268, for which Sun charges them just over $54,000.
