WHAT: Strawberries Arnaud
WHERE: Arnaud's, New Orleans
PRICE: $1.4 million

These berries with bling aren't A. Casbarian's first foray into the world of absurd eats. He previously showcased a jewel-stuffed Turducken, a dish consisting of a gem-adorned turkey, duck and chicken stuffed and cooked inside each other. Now, his 90-year-old French Quarter institution has teamed up with rare jeweler and antique dealer M.S. Rau Antiques for a dessert featuring six port-marinated strawberries garnished with mint, cream and a nearly five-carat pink diamond ring that was once owned by the British financier Sir Ernest Cassel. The dessert, available by special request, is served by white-gloved waiters accompanied by a jazz band in one of the restaurant's private dining rooms, or on the balcony overlooking Bourbon Street. An 1825 Charles X crystal cave liqueur set is included (a $24,850 value), filled with rare port. Once sold, this particular dessert will be replaced with another one-of-a-kind treasure.
