Michel Rostang's $122 Sandwich (Yes, Truffles)

Filed under: Dining

It seems whenever there's some kind of exorbitantly expensive food there's an ingredient that almost always makes an appearance: truffles. This sandwich, called LE "SANDWICH" TIEDE A LA TRUFFE FRAÎCHE, and created by French chef Michel Rostang, is no exception. It will appeal to purists mostly as it is amazingly simple: fresh truffles are sliced and placed on toasted country bread with salted butter. The sandwich sits for two nights (so the flavors can marinate together) and then the whole thing is lightly grilled on both sides. That's it. Heck, if you have some spare truffles lying around you can make this at home instead of a grilled cheese or something. Or maybe not. 98 €

BLT Ring

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Jewelry

Based on past experiences, food and fashion do not always work well together, especially when food is trying to take center stage. When it is used as an accessory, however, things start to look much better. The Sandwich Ring from designer Carrie Weston is a good example of the melding of the two. It consists of a series of stackable rings in sterling silver or 14K gold, where each ring is cut to look like a "slice" of a sandwich: two pieces of bread, bacon, lettuce and tomato. Ms. Weston also has a hamburger ring if BLTs aren't your thing. In silver, the ring is $150 and in gold, it is $750.
