Hot Dog, $145.49
On May 31, 2012, Sacramento's Capitol Dawg made its way into the pages of the Guinness Book of World Records with its California Capitol City Dawg. Served on a foccacia roll, the world's most expensive hot dog is an 18-inch beef frank topped with Swedish moose cheese, Italian white truffle butter, French mustard, garlic-herb mayonnaise, smoked maple bacon from New Hampshire and local balsamic vinaigrette. In 2011, the restaurant was named the city's best spot for cheap eats.

Bagel, $1,000
As if hotel breakfasts weren't expensive enough, New York's Westin Hotel raises the bar with their gold-leaf-flaked bagel (in case you prefer to eat your 23-carat gold instead of wear it). Smear on a bit of white truffle cream cheese and Riesling jelly infused with Goji berries.

Ice Cream Sundae, $1,000
Served at New York's Serendipity 3, the Golden Opulence Sundae requires 48-hour advance order and features Tahitian vanilla bean ice cream, chocolate syrup made from the very fine Chuao chocolate from Venezuela, sweetened caviar and edible gold leaf. (Seriously, what is up with people wanting to eat gold?!) The Baccarat crystal glass it's served in is yours to keep.

Frittata, $1,000
Eggs are one of the most affordable ingredients in the world, but add meat from one whole lobster and 10 ounces of $65-per ounce sevruga caviar, and you've racked up quite a breakfast bill at New York City's Le Parker Meridien.

Beer, $800-1000
This 55 percent alcohol blond Belgian ale is meant to be served in small portions, but the potent brew is somewhat upstaged by its fantastical package. The bottle is nestled inside a taxidermy squirrel carcass. The beer, called The End of History, is currently sold out.

Ramen, $110
Most ramen soups in Tokyo cost a fraction of Chef Shoichi Fujimaki's 10,000 yen creation, which takes three days to prepare and is a blend of Chinese soup stock, tom yum and twenty secret ingredients. But the chef seems to think it's worth the price tag: "I believe that is indeed the number one soup in the world," he says.

Meat Pie, $2,000 per slice
This pie entered the Guinness Book of World Records in November of 2005 when eight guests at Lancashire, England's Fence Gate Inn placed their order. Six-pounds of Japanese Wagyu beef, black truffles, and rare matsutake mushrooms are packed inside a gold leaf-flaked pastry and served with a gravy made from two bottles of 1982 Mouland Rothschild.

Pizza, $12,000
The creation of Chef Renato Viola in Salerno, Italy, this posh pizza starts with dough that requires a 72-hour rise. From there, the caviar, shrimp, lobster, squid, organic mozzarella and pink Australian sea salt-studded pizza is assembled at your home by a catering team that includes a sommelier. For this price, you could buy a couple of top-of-the-line pizza ovens for a lifetime of stellar pies. Just sayin'.
