WORLD’S MOST EXPENSIVE COFFEE

And I thought Starbucks was crazy for slinging $5 lattes! Famed London-based department store, Harrods is home to the most expensive and luxurious coffee in the world. Terra Nera originates from a region of the Peruvian Andes, and what makes it to special is coffee cherries that are passed through the elusive civet cat’s digestive system, and are then hand-collected to be processed. Wait, wait? The world’s most expensive coffee (ranging from $225-$11,000) is just fancy cat excrement? Tomorrow morning, I think I’ll switch to tea. Source

NOMIYA RESTAURANT

Nomiya: A 12-Person Restaurant in Paris by Laurent and Pascal Grasso. ‘Situated near the breathtaking Eiffel Tower, Nomiya only seats 12 and spots are available one month in advance. If you don’t plan on booking all 12 places at the dining table, then don’t be surprised if you’re seated by 10 complete strangers. In honouring Grasso’s word, Nomiya looks to provide an “experience” with helo from their guided tours. The tour consists of first visiting the awe-inspiring garden and dining room, and then works its way up to the top of Palais de Tokyo.’

BURGER KING BRINGS A BLACK BURGER TO JAPAN

To celebrate Burger King’s 5th year in Japan, the fast food chain will be hocking the Kuro Burger. It’s a black bunned and ketchupped (ketchupped is a word!) cheese burger. I don’t know what kinda person thinks that changing the colors of a burger would make a good present, but my birthday is less than a month away and I would really appreciate you coaching them on proper gifting in the meantime. Mainly I’m looking for either cash-money, hooch, or drug-money. The bun is blackened by mixing the dough with bamboo charcoal, the ketchup is regular ketchup with garlic, seasonings, and squid ink thrown in there. Squid ink, eh? You know, call me a tradionalist, but when I think of cheeseburger, the last thing that comes to mind is squid ink. The first thing that comes to mind? Might as well make it a combo!
