Sydney restaurant offers $120 bacon and egg sandwich
 

SYDNEY, May 12 (UPI) -- A restaurant in Australia is offering a $120 egg-and-bacon roll this week as part of Bacon Week, officials said.

4Fourteen, a restaurant in Surry Hills, will have the extravagant breakfast sandwich on its menu for just one week, The Sunday Telegraph, Sydney, reported.

The sandwich features award-winning bacon from Slade Point Meat Specialists in Mackay, Queensland, a pan-fried duck egg, semi-dried and smoked gourmet truss tomatoes, duck foie gras, caviar, creme fraiche, shaved truffles and English cheddar, squeezed between a handmade brioche bun. It will be served with a side of chips and shaved truffle aioli.

4Fourteen head chef Carla Jones said she doesn't believe many people will try the new menu item.

"It's not something I ever thought I'd be doing but it will be interesting to see how many we'll sell," she said. "I reckon some people will buy it just to see what it's like. I'm not sure I'd eat it -- I'm not that into truffles and stuff like that."

Bacon Week was created to promote quality Australian pork. Chefs in Sydney are featuring items on their menu that use bacon.

"About two-thirds of bacon sales made in Australia are from pork that's imported and the average consumer doesn't know that's going on," Australian Pork Chief Executive Officer Andrew Spencer said.

thanks dvtimes

Sydney is crazy expensive these days - You would be equally shocked at the price of a 'normal' Bacon sarny - Its rated as the top city in Oz, but there are so much better...

Try Adelaide or go across the water to Auckland.....

your welcome chris :winkwink:

For that price I better get to eat it off a hot naked chick.

:1orglaugh or a handy

I dont think so i thought Melbourne was

I am not a fan of Melbourne either - Adelaide is the best city in Oz - In the area Christchurch is the best...

The weather is not so good, but for a well timed trip it wins hands down...

no fucking pictures ?

that's better :rasta

I shit $120! I'm not being baller either!

I went for a crap when I was drunk, fell off the toilet and took the whole thing with me whilst trying to grab hold of the tank to stop myself faceplanting on the floor.

New shitter + Labour $129.

True story! I shit you not!

It didnt look like the sandwich as it didnt fit the description of the ingredients, if you read a little it says the real sandwich looks like this

Bought a duck egg and bacon sandwich for $4.80 in much a better area on the beach. Walk around Surry hills and you will be asked for money a few times for every mile.

Now I have to go make egg and bacon, thanks :thumbsup

Fried duck eggs are a bit dodgy. for baking lovely, but fried.. suspect texture.
