This $35,000 Thanksgiving Feast Will Make You Thankful For Nothing

A Thanksgiving feast is already a lot to be thankful for, but this family meal for four makes you $35,000 thankful … sort of.

New York City’s Old Homestead Steakhouse is offering the finest Thanksgiving feast money can buy — for $8750 per person, you better hope it’s the best meal of your life. Unfortunately, you can’t eat there alone as only pairings are allowed. With a family of four, that $35,000 bill will make you thankful you can even afford to eat at such a place (but you can also have the meal catered at a location of your choosing).

But don’t just take out word for it. The menu items are actually pretty impressive. Here’s what the meal comes with:

You get a roasted, farm-raised organic turkey stuffed with seven pounds of ground Japanese Wagyu filet mignon. You also get a smaller bird, a squab, stuffed with exquisite foie gras soaked in Courvoisier L’Esprit Cognac, which goes for $5000 a bottle. The turkey gravy is made from renderings soaked in Chateau Mouton Rothschild red wine, priced at $1750-per-bottle.

Of course, no Thanksgiving meal would be complete without cranberry sauce. Old Homestead’s sauce is an alcoholic cranberry-orange pairing with Gran Marnier.

On the side, you have the potatoes of the Gods. Old Homestead’s mashed potatoes are made with ultra-rich Swedish Moose milk and topped with Swedish moose cheese.

Still not enough for you? Then there is also the butternut squash, which is accented by winter black truffles ($160/ pound), and the whipped sweet potatoes, which are topped off with three pounds of Royal Osetra 000 caviar ($1600/ ounce).

And don’t forget about dessert, which is a soul-satisfying poached pear soaked in bourbon and topped with pumpkin paste and 24-carat gold flakes.

But wait … there’s even more.

Those who purchase the meal also get grandstand seats to watch Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, a $6000 gift card to go shopping at Bloomingdales with limo service, and dancing lessons at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio … to work off all the food perhaps?

Old Homestead’s co-owner Marc Sherry told the press:

“We know it’s over-the-top, but Thanksgiving comes once a year. If you can splurge for this, you have a lot to be thankful for.”

With this much fine food and money going around, everyone has a reason to be thankful.
