Where to hold it: how about Mall of America

World's Wealthy Meet for $25,000 a Head Dinner in Thailand (FoxNews)
BANGKOK, Thailand — Beluga caviar, truffles and Dom Perignon sorbet were on the menu Saturday for a night of gourmet dining in Bangkok that chefs, wine experts and organizers dubbed the meal of a lifetime.
High-rolling food lovers flew in from Europe, the United States and around Asia for the dinner, which carried a price tag of $25,000 a head, excluding tax and gratuities.


I'm going to go one better, and organize a dinner for $50,000 a head. Surly Dave has catering experience, I'm sure he'll help out. First order of business, set the menu.

First of all, everything is going to be cooked in liposuctioned body fat. Some of the delicacies will include: sweet and sour squirrel wings, anaconda snake cakes, calf-lung shish-kabob, barbecued mouse beavers (nutria, or water-dwelling rodents for you peons), tuna stuffed baked potatoes.

For appetizers, we'll just have someone make a quick swing around the country roads and collect up as much roadkill as they can find, we should have plenty of raccoon bits that we can throw into a deep-fryer. Anything tastes good coming out of a deep-fryer.

In order to try and earn a little more profit for ourselves, we'll make it a BYOB event.

The fact is, wealthy people like this will drop cash on anything that makes them seem special and above the lives of mere mortals. We just need to throw out the right lunker and we'll reel 'em in like walleyes. Night Writer will be able to come up with something.

For entertainment, we can put out a call to all the American Idol rejects from the MN auditions. High class cuisine deserves high class entertainment.

Who's with me.

"Expensive is very relative. Some of the world's best chefs will be cooking their best dishes with the finest vintage wines," he said. "It is an experience of a lifetime."

U r right in that the rich do this to make themselves feel like they are the elite. The thing is I feel sorry for them if they have to throw so much $$$ away to make themselves feel good, the same reason I felt sorry for Anna Nicole Smith when she died this past week.

Huh...
We should get Budwieser or Miller or someone to sponsor the event as well, so we take the cash they pay, and the sponsor pays for the materials.

I'll make the salad of Pine Needles, poisen ivy stems, and holly-leaves, topped with a slash of spring water.
