$1000 brownie: [link]
The $1,000 brownie at Brulee (in Atlantic City's Tropicana Hotel) comes decorated with gold powder -- after each mouthful, the "dessert captain" mists your tongue with rare port. It's really only a $250 brownie -- when you're done eating it, you get to keep the port-wine atomizer, which is worth $750.
I think all Buffistas need dessert captains. Perhaps we can hire one for the F2F....
A guy keeps spraying your tongue as you eat? What if someone at another table wants one at the same time? Does he run back and forth?
I would hope that for $1000, each person would get their own dessert captain. Or at least each table should.
I'm pretty sure I don't want a waiter hanging around close enough to mist me while I'm trying to devour a brownie, but I guess this proves that I have no magic in my tongue.
That kind of decadence thrills me for a nano second, then it makes me really sick and disgusted.

But what of the poor dessert captains? They have to support their families!
Wait -- you guys don't have someone to mist your tongue as you eat?
Man, the rest of the country really is different.
Why is it sick and disgusting, Cindy? I think of it as terribly unneccessary (I can mist my own tongue, thanks), but that's about it.
Washington D.C. is the only place I've ridden the subway and it was pretty bland. I hope that someday there will be a convergence of time and money to get to one of those places.
It would have been cool if Kansas City had kept their public transit system, but only a few tracks remain.
Actually, that would be hilarious -- determine destinations based solely on public transit.
I really want to go to Moscow, Hong Kong, & Sao Paolo after reading the descriptions of the subways there!
