From food app dishpal comes an infographic detailing some of the most expensive foods in the world, among which are gold-lined, truffle-laced and wine soaked foods. The most expensive dish is a $16,000 meat pie sold at the Fence Gate Inn in Lancashire. Filled with 6 lbs of Kobe beef, each slice will set you back $2,000. What does that princely sum buy you? A meat pie marinated in two bottles of 1982 Chateau Mouton Rothschild, filled with truffles and Matsusake mushrooms, and edible 23-carat gold for garnish. At New York’s Westin hotel at Times Square, chef Frank Tujague created a limited time $1,000 bagel stuffed with white truffle cream cheese and goji berry-infused Riesling jelly with gold leaves (pictured above). And from BrewDog in Scotland comes an $800 to $1,100 pint of Belgian ale that comes in a dead, squirrel carcass. Other expensive foods on the graphic include a $12,000 pizza topped with lobster, caviar, eight different cheeses and hand-picked Australian river salt from Italy. And there is a Samundari Khazana Seafood Curry at $3,000, ironically released to coincide with the film Slumdog Millionaire….
Talent is all over the planet in every shape, form, size, and can come from people of any age. I’ve posted up a few videos of amazing people doing amazing things before, but the original ‘Awesome People Doing Awesome Things’ is one of the greatest to behold. Take a look below.
Street art is honestly by far my favorite medium for visually expressing ideas. It literally comes in all different forms, and can inspire, scare, bewilder, warn, and make people laugh. This is probably my 9th or 10th street art collection on this blog in the last 2 years. So although I think one or two photos may have been repeated in previous posts, check out all these incredibly interesting pieces of street art.
Drinks International, based out of the UK, has published its version of the World’s 50 Best Restaurant awards, with the World’s 50 Best Bars list.

For many, the idea of traveling mean having new experiences with new people, absorbing new cultures, and becoming familiar with different ways of life. For other people, it’s all about the visuals. The sights you see when your in new places are always something that people keep with them, and nothing can keep a visual memory better than a photo. I know seeing a picture is nothing like the real thing, but you can’t help but admit, the 16 photos in this collection are amazing.
I love cars. Just to put it simply. I grew up in a place where street racing was very common, and some people spent more time working on their cars than they spent attending the local high school. Luxury cars, foreign cars, or exotic cars, don’t make a difference, I’m developed a solid love for automobiles of any type. (Even thoough, I feel like the ONLY thing in the world sexier than Jessica Castillo is a fresh Aston Martin). When I recently came across a collection of automotive photography, I was enthused to say the least. This collection comes from all different photographers from all over the world, of all different cars, of all shapes, sizes, and styles. I didn’t chose the photos for what cars were in them, but for the composition of the photo, the angles, focal points, lighting, style, and depth all contribute to the beauty of the car being displayed, and I didn’t want to limit what I posted just because the car in the photo was old. So take a look both above and below and hopefully you’ll see as much beauty in these photos as I do.
