That is what they get for letting Ratatouille(tm) make their desert for them!

Ridiculous! I’m sorry, but no food or dessert is worth that price tag. I don’t care how good it is. Serendipity 3 must be laughing all the way to the bank. And who wants to eat Gold anyway? I’d rather wear it. Next, they’ll be making Silver Sprinkles and Cubic Zirconia Magic Shell. (When I first moved to NYC, I got a job at this restaurant but decided not to take it. I was afraid I’d get fat around all that chocolate.)

Great website.

$25,000 for frozen chocolate mousse and jewelery when children go to bed hungry right in town? There is no food, much less chocolate, on earth worth that. It’s like the $2000 omelet (lobster, caviar and eggs – and butter, I’m sure), also available in NYC. What’s wrong with people? Gimme a dollar candy bar, a seat on a rock overlooking Mother Nature and my place at the steam table on Thanksgiving day at the shelter and I’m good to go…

I have no desire to try a $25k dessert but I have wanted to try their frozen hot chocolate. I was thinking about going Thursday but stopped back at my hotel room to make some quick plans and turned on the TV and guess what they were talking about….
*sigh*
I just can’t believe it…. a restaurant in Manhattan with roaches.

You got me curious about that “la madeline au truffle” – had to wonder, did they mean a chocolate truffle, or the kind that comes out of the ground?

So I Googled, and came up with this link to the maker:

Knipschildt Chocolatier

It is, indeed, a chocolate truffle. AND a fungus – there’s a “rare French Perigord truffle” at the center of the confection.

Otherwise, I find an odd satisfaction at a place catering to those with more money than sense being shown to have figurative warts as bad – or worse – than the seediest dive.
