New York eaterie offers 1,000-dollar omelette

[QC]

"Norma's dares you to expense this," reads the footnote in the breakfast menu currently being offered by New York's Le Parker Meridien.

The concerned item is a 1,000-dollar, caviar-laden omelette being served by "Norma's" -- the restaurant inside the swanky midtown Manhattan hotel.

The ultimate breakfast bank-breaker is made with six eggs, chives, butter, cream, an entire lobster and 10 ounces (280 grams) of servuga caviar.

And people ask why the rich should be taxed?

1. Sounds Like A Real Artery-Clogging Omelette

6 eggs, butter, cream and an entire lobster.

Damn.

2. Chicken eggs? That's the best they could do?

I was expecting bald eagle, California Condor, or T-Rex for that price. :)

3. No idea how to spend their money...

A whole barbecued pig, a couple of cold kegs, a bathtub full of potato salad, a bushel of corn, and the whole neighborhood in your back yard whoopin' it up... with change left over for a real coffee shop breakfast in the morning...

...or eat that nasty melange by your lonesome.

Nope, no idea at all.
