Wall Street's oldest steakhouse has a secret menu for billionaires — here's what's on it
Rating:
Loading...Delmonico's, located just a few blocks away from the New York Stock Exchange in downtown Manhattan, opened in 1837 as one of the first sit-down restaurants in America.
But while the restaurant is perhaps best known for its steaks, it also has a selection of food items you won't find on the menu. Called the "Secret Billionaire's Menu," these dishes will set you back quite a bit — there's a grilled cheese sandwich for $100, for example, and a golden twist on the classic black-and-white cookie for $50.
"We have a lot of Wall Street guys down here and they're always looking to outdo one another," Executive Chef Billy Oliva told Business Insider.
We recently got to try out the menu in person — here's what it was like.
The most expensive of the secret menu items is the "Billionaire's Flatbread," which costs $150. It comes topped with wagyu beef, lobster, foie gras, black truffle shavings, and edible 24-carat gold leaf.
Then, there's the "Wall Street Grilled Cheese," which is priced at $100. It's definitely not your typical grilled cheese sandwich. This one comes with Scharfe Maxx and L'Etivaz cheeses, in-house cured bacon that's been slow-roasted for 18 hours, black truffle shavings, and fig mustard.
Next, you can have a black & gold half-moon cookie, priced at $50 each. A twist on the classic black and white cookie, it's made with 24-carat gold dust mixed with white fondant.
The $35 "Billionaire's Milkshake" comes in two flavors: chocolate and coffee. They're topped with ice cream, caramelized popcorn, and chocolate garnish and draped in edible 24-carat gold leaf.
