If you’re to believe modern science, you only live once. So let other people commit to New Year’s resolutions involving Bikram juicing or whatever. This is your time for <em>Flintstones</em>-size steaks and titanic plates of caviar. This is your time... for anti-resolutions.
You probably never used the word “moderation” to describe any of your 2013 dinners at Mari Vanna. But now they’re kindly offering you the chance to drop $595 on 90 grams of Imperial Kaluga caviar. And you’ve already gone almost two full days through 2014 without 90 grams of caviar...
Cans. Bottles. Taps. As far as beer-delivery vessels go, these aren’t exactly unprecedented. But on the off chance you’ve never ordered a $42 bottle of beer that shows up in a wine-bottle-size bottle, head to Little Bear for their oak-aged, strawberry-brewed sour ale from Goose Island named Gillian. Good name.
Going big: steak dinner. Going anti-resolution big: Chi Spacca’s hulking slab of dry-aged bistecca alla Fiorentina, which weighs 42 ounces and costs $175. First week of the new year, and you’re already dipping into your T-bone fund...
Most people out there are cutting back on sugar. Most people are not calling up a pudding truck for a private pudding-truck party—think chocolate, butterscotch and vanilla-bean puddings with endless custom toppings. Most people are now awaiting an invite to your place.
Theoretically, there are ways for you to wisely spend $40,000 in a single month. One of those ways is probably not renting a 12-bedroom, three-acre Santa Monica estate with a wishing well and a secret wet bar hidden behind fake books. Emphasis on “probably.”
