If you want to eat some truly luxurious French fries, you have to be in New York City , in the world-renowned Serendipity 3 ice cream restaurant, located on the Uper East Side of Manhattan.
This is the most expensive plate of French fries in history, for the modest sum of $ 200 dollars. But they are not just any French fries, they are prepared in such a special way that they cost the imposed price.
The dish was made for the National French Fry Day, and the chefs of the place Joe Calderone and Freddy Schoen-Kiewert proudly describe their recipe: French fries are made with Chipperbeck potatoes from the north of the state, Dom Perignon champagne, Ardenne de cha vinegar J. LeBlanc French cheese, Guerande truffle salt, Urbani summer truffle oil and topped with scraped Cretan Senesi Pecorino Tartufello.
The potatoes are fried in pure goose fat and passed through that fat twice in order to be ultra crispy. They are also sprinkled with edible gold and served on a glass plate decorated with an orchid.
This haute cuisine preparation has just received a Guinness World Records certification and since the past 13 July is officially the world’s most expensive plate of French fries.
Joe Calderone, chef of the place and creative director assured that this restaurant is really a happy place and of escape: “People come here to celebrate, to really escape the reality of life sometimes,” he said.

To Freddy Schoen-Kiewert, Executive Chef of the company, assured that “the truffle is the main star l of this plate. ”
After being closed due to the COVID pandemic – 19, now they thought they should recover so they went to their haute cuisine. These fancy fries seemed to be the ideal way to make up for what was lost.
And it seems to be working, Since the dish came out, at least a week ago, until today, there is a waiting list of eight to ten weeks at least.
“It’s been a tough year, so now we want to have fun,” said Calderone. So it seems that this is indeed a good way to celebrate “National French Fries Day.”
