The $100 omelet at Beverly Wilshire -- and it's a bargain!

At Beverly Wilshire's the Blvd., you can create a $100 tab before 9 am. "Egg and Eggs" -- an omelet topped with a presumably generous portion of Black River Ossetra Caviar, imported from sturgeon farms in Uruguay -- will run you a C-note. Thoughtful fellow that he is, chef Conny Andersson is putting the item on both the breakfast and the bar menus. 

Selling points: Uruguyan caviar is delicious. And it's not only free and clear of the ban that, until recently, affected caviar from the Caspian sea, it's also procured in a more humane manner: The sturgeons are numbed before the eggs are harvested (caviar must come from live fish). "By the time the fish know what's happened," says importer Graham Gaspard, "they're filets."

Indulgent, you say? No, this is indulgent:

Sri Lanka, the island off the coast of India with South Asia's highest per capita income, also has the world's most expensive dessert.

The Fortress Stilt Fisherman Indulgence is available for $14,500 at luxury resort The Fortress in Galle, Sri Lanka. It comes with an 80-carat aquamarine. There's some chocolate and mango involved, too.

The Blvd, 9500 Wilshire Blvd. (310) 275-5200

I've never understood why they can't siphon out the eggs and then let the fish free to spawn again. People get lipo all the time.
