The most expensive grilled cheese in the world costs $214 and is gilded with real gold
Despite the steep price, the chef says he's sold dozens of the speciality item. But it can't be ordered on a whim; the grilled cheese must be ordered at least 48 hours in advance.
"I think it's worth it," says Calderone. "It has the best ingredients in the world."
It starts with plush French bread that has Dom Perignon champagne and 23-karat gold baked throughout.
But what's grilled cheese without tomato soup? To complete the iconic pairing, the sandwich is served alongside a luxe version of tomato bisque filled with chunks of lobster.
