Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are no doubt a staple of most childhoods. The simple, yet tasty ingredients blend together perfectly for a satisfying and typically inexpensive meal. That is until now.
A Chicago restaurant has introduced the world's most expensive PB&J that will set diners back about $350 bucks.
The eatery, which is located in the West Loop, is called PB&J but its acronym has nothing to do with the sandwich. The name actually stands for Pizza, Beer & Jukebox but that didn't stop the owners from making the elementary school staple the star of themenu.
The PB&J sandwich is called the Golden Goose and is made from an array of ingredients sourced from all over the globe. The dish, which must be ordered a day in advance, is made with bread that has gold leaves baked into it and is drizzled with New Zealand's rare Manuka honey. In-between the sliced golden bread is the world's most expensive jelly, Maison Dutriez’s red currant jam. As for the peanut butter, they kept it simple with Adams all natural peanut butter.
Although the sandwich comes with a hefty price tag, the good news is that a portion of the proceeds will be donated to charity. And, for those looking for something more affordable, the restaurant does offer PB&J in its classic state -- wonder bread, creamy peanut butter and grape jelly -- for $5.
