World's most expensive egg roll: A $100 Lobster Egg Roll

Lobster egg rollThe most expensive $100 lobster egg roll

If you are the one who looks for the environment friendly dishes for the A la carte, then the renowned Hollywood chef Jack Lee and his catering team are removing shark fins from their dishes to make the delicious lobster dish eco friendly, as well. The company, known as Chinoise Cuisine, has said to do so because of the ocean sustainability concerns.

Earlier this week, the company introduced its exceptional lobster egg roll, which had shark fin, Maine lobster, julienne baby carrots, Shitake mushrooms and wild Taro root. It’s served after eight hours of braising, and costed $100. But, now the delicacy does not have shark fins in it as the owner thinks sharks play an essential role in the marine ecosystem.

The dish has been modified and now has Maine lobster tail, summer black truffle, baby carrot, julienned nagaimo (mountain potato), Alaskan king crab, and wild baby taro root. It’s still topped with a crown of Sveruga caviar and gold leaf, and is made balanced with a fresh raspberry along with a 2009 Dry Creek Sauvignon Blanc reduction dipping sauce.

The chef is concerned about the marine life and states;

“Shark fin has long been a popular delicacy in Chinese culture. However, it has recently been brought to our attention that growing global demand for this item has resulted in a sharp reduction in shark populations. As ocean predators, sharks play an essential role in the marine ecosystem. For this reason, we are happy to have found a more environmentally friendly, yet equally delicious way to make our famed Lobster Egg Roll.”
