New York restaurant The Ainsworth has been responsible for the latest culinary eccentricity: some 24-karat gold powder coated chicken wings.
The person in charge of the most sophisticated fried delicacy is the owner of the premises, Jonathan cheban, an American celebrity who came to the role of the hand of Kim Kardashian and consolidated on the small screen after her participation in the British version of Big Brother VIP.
His fame considerably fattened the accounts of his restaurant, and extravagance seems to be the way that the businessman and public relations have chosen to give a new boost to its establishment.
The recipe is simple: the wings should be soaked in brine for 24 hours. They are then baked and finally fried. The final touch will be to dip them in a mixture of chipolote butter mixed with honey and butter with melted gold. Once plated, it will be spread over them gold dust.

The result of the caloric recipe is more visual than tasty, because the precious metal does not add too many nuances to the palate. It is worthy, yes, of the menu of an NBA player.
The premium version of the menu includes 50 units of chicken and a bottle of champagne Ace of Spades, the brand of Jay – Z, Beyoncé’s husband. The delicatessen menu is paid to more than 1.000 dollars (857 euros).
The fashion of wrapping food in edible gold It has become a powerful marketing tool that some of the best-known restaurants in the city that never sleeps have latched onto. The Serendipity 3 is one of the most recent examples since on the occasion of the National Sandwich Day created a gold leaf sandwich that became the most expensive in the world according to the Guinness Book of Records.
This fashion has also reached the most ostentatious circles of Los Angeles, where startup Stone Road Farms, specialized in joint distribution, seeks to establish itself in the luxury sector by wrapping its cigarettes in 24-karat gold foil. The latest feat of the particular company, the most expensive joint in the world.
