New York's Most Expensive Omelet

Culinary craziness has reached new heights in New York with the debut of the $1,000 omelet! Le Parker Meridien hotel on W. 57th St. added the bank breaking breakfast dish to its menu, charging patrons what it costs to buy about 200 omelets at your local greasy spoon.

This massive offering of an omelet features a whole lobster, six eggs and 10 ounces of Sevruga caviar and it is all served on a bed of roasted potatoes. Much like this dish, Norma’s is known for its quality of ingredients and attention to detail. Fans of both succulent lobster and the finest of caviar will surely enjoy the Zillion Dollar Lobster Frittata.

For penny pinchers, Norma's, the restaurant in Le Parker Meridien, offers an economy version of the frittata, a crustless quiche that contains 1 ounce of sevruga caviar.  It costs $100. 

   When Pipes and Norma's executive chef, Emile Castillo, decided to incorporate caviar into a frittata, they knew it would be a costly proposition. They pay $65 an ounce for sevruga.
