This Extravagant Thanksgiving Dinner Costs More Than You Probably Make In A Year

Thanksgiving dinner can mean a lot of different things. Some families splurge while others opt for Chinese food. If you’re one of those people who anticipates Thanksgiving all year round, you should know about the $76,000 dinner at the Old Homestead Steakhouse in New York City. The set up for this exclusive dinner is something out of a fairytale. The owner of the restaurant says you’re paying for a whole experience, not just the food, according to CNBC.

CNBC points out that $76,000 is roughly $16,000 more than the median household income in the United States. Crazy, we know.

The hefty price tag, one that could probably cover someone’s student loan debt, includes extravagant items starting with $100 imported king oysters and  mignonette sauce with an Opus One wine. The winery it comes from in California produces some of the most expensive red wines in Napa Valley.

After the oysters, there’s a plate of inch-thick smoked bacon slabs that are cured from an imported Japanese black boar, at $225-per-pound, and they’re topped with an orange marmalade glaze made from $75 Dekopon oranges and $1,800 special reserve cognac.

There’s also imported Japanese Wagyu beef lollipops that go for $475-per-pound, topped with a peppercorn au poivre dipping sauce, infused with $4,800 Louis XIII cognac.

Don’t worry, there’s still a turkey. The organic turkey, at $105-per-pound, is sourced from a free-range farm in upstate New York. It’s basted with $17-per-ounce Italian olive oil, seasoned with spices from the Middle East and served with a gravy that’s infused with $3,300 Pappy Van Winkle Bourbon.

Even your sweet potatoes come topped with black caviar, at $1,600-per-ounce, from the Caspian Sea. You’ll still have your traditional mashed potatoes, but they’re whipped with imported Swedish moose cheese that goes for $455-per-pound.

Let’s cut to the stuffing, which is nothing short of luxurious as it’s made with foie gras, $54-per-pound,  Wagyu beef and sourdough bread imported from the United Kingdom, which sells for $46 a loaf. To top it all off, the cranberry sauce is made with a $1,750 French Cabernet Sauvignon reduction and an extra dash of $1,800 orange liquor.

For dessert? Strawberries dipped in a sabayon cream sauce made with a vintage 1968 Cristal champagne.

Welp, we’ll stick with our $50 and below budget this year, but this lavish Thanksgiving dinner is no joke.
