Not even ashamed to admit it - I am a sucker for expensive novelty food items so I would for sure drop $100 on that. Problem is that I know I wouldn’t finish it
Four donuts is OD so I would share those with the homies but the actually shake THO!?! 12 ounces of liquor is 8 shots and it’s Vegas so the math with that plus 72 ounces of ice cream and other toppings might actually check out IMO.Two of my favorites novelties (kind of go-tos at this point
) include a cheesesteak and a box of cereal. Back in 2012 this Philly steakhouse introduced the “$100 Cheesesteak.” It consists of thinly sliced wagyu ribeye, foie gras, onions and truffled cheese whiz on a baked sesame roll and it comes with a half bottle of champagne. It was HITS. However, since I’ve first had it the price has gone up from $100 to $140 
No change in ingredients, no extra food or alcohol, no quality increase: Crazy.As for cereal, I am not sure if it was ever discussed in here but my other favorite novelty is the mini-croissant cereal (NYers might be familiar). It’s made by this Brooklyn bakery and they are exactly like they sound - handmade super small croissants that they bake, dip in syrup then I guess let them sit (cinnamon plays a part somewhere in the process and they might sprinkle them with crack but TBD.) They only have a couple boxes each morning and people legit line up for them even at $50/box. My friend in the city has these two guys who will camp overnight to get a box each then he ships me one. The bakery says that they are good for about 3 weeks so I usually keep the freshest box in the crib then rotate the older one to my office for nibbles and repeat when the next shipment comes through.
Typing that out made me realize how ridiculous it is that cereal might be my most expensive grocery purchase category each month

I know of a gourmet Chef named Alejandro that cooks a Chilean sea bass that would put Chilean food at the #1 spot if you tried it. Heard it’s to die for.
Lol. I think I remember reading that the sales of Chilean Sea Bass skyrocketed after the release of Jurassic Park. I’ve always thought that dish looked delicious, even as a kid. Folks have even recreated that specific recipe on youtube. The plating is rather pretty, I believe the orange you see is sweet potato.I know of a gourmet Chef named Alejandro that cooks a Chilean sea bass that would put Chilean food at the #1 spot if you tried it.

hot take:
Besides Mexican food, LA is actually one of the most overrated cities for food spots. Both casual and fine dining.

Respect your opinion, but LA is a big *** city, and there's an abundance of all types of great food, except Caribbean

LA is just too full and comprised of too many areas to not have top tier food in it worth mentioning for the state.

I ****s with some good vanilla ice cream with sprinkles. Not something I've enjoyed much as an adult, but it always crushes.

Explain.
Which aspects/parts of LA are highly rated that aren't worthy of the rating?

The lifestyle and quality of life. Infrastructure, etc
Alot of fake, superficial people that seem to congregate there

Is the infrastructure highly rated though? People know the public transportation isn't on the level of an East Coast major city. They know traffic is horrible.
Folks know there are hundreds of thousands of fake people there just trying to get put on. Those things are on the warning label.
But as far as lifestyle and quality of life being overrated, how so?
I come in peace.
