(CNN) — Twenty-four karat gold is normally something associated with jewelry — until now. New York City restaurant The Ainsworth partnered with Jonathan “Foodgōd” Cheban on the ultimate high-low menu item, 24K gold chicken wings.
Despite the luxurious luster, these wings won’t break the bank: you can get 10 for $45 or 20 for $90.
If you feel like splurging, there’s also an option to get 50 — plus a bottle of Ace of Spades brand Champagne — for a cool $1,000. That grand also includes a bit of celebrity connection, as Ace of Spades is owned by Jay-Z.
But there’s one more question to ask: Why?
Brian Mazza, president of Paige Hospitality (which owns The Ainsworth) told CNN, “We wanted to create something over-the-top that’s never been done before, and you’ve never seen or tasted anything like it before.” Consider that a mission accomplished.
