Why cook?

NYC restaurant, Old Homestead, is offering up a specialty item-laden Thanksgiving feast that exemplifies decadence, extravagance and overindulgence. So what does one get for $50,000?


A 20-lb roasted free-range, organically raised $85/lb turkeys, seasoned with a proprietary exotic spice mix of spices imported from the Middle East, basted with imported $17/oz extra-virgin olive oil from Italy.

A rich stuffing - the operative word is rich because it consists of $465/lb imported Japanese prized Wagyu beef, $54/lb foie gras, and $46/loaf sourdough bread imported from the U.K.

Whipped sweet potatoes topped with $1,600/oz caviar from Caspian Sea.

Green beans not exactly like the ones the first Pilgrims and Native Americans shared - these are prepared with chunks of imported $90/lb ham from pigs fed a special root diet.

Homemade pumpkin ice cream with $4,200/bottle rum-infused eggnog sauce.

Purchasers also receive four tickets to an upcoming Giants game, one night at the Waldorf with room service and breakfast in bed, limousine transportation while in NYC, a Fifth Avenue shopping spree and a horse-drawn carriage ride through Central Park.
