This week, two of the country's top chefs gathered at New York's Per Se restaurant at the Times Warner Center to prepare a 20-course feast. The cost? $1500 per person.
Thomas Keller of California's French Laundry (among numerous other ventures) and Greg Achatz of Chicago's Alinea have recently released a cookbook, and what better way to celebrate and market than to cook three of these blowout meals - one at Per Se, one at Alinea, and one at the French Laundrty. $1500 sounds like a lot for one meal (and who are we kidding, it is), but it's also a once-in-a-lifetime experience that includes 20 courses from two of the nation's top chefs, wine pairings, tax, tip, and a signed copy of the book.
Here's the menu... http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2008/11/11/dining/Mentor_Protege_Dinner.pdf
(and in case anyone wondered how bad the economy is, not to worry - all three dinners are sold out with mile-long waiting lists)
