At $1,000 or £500, this bagel is currently the world's most expensive. Bagels are food landmarks of New York. This pocket-bursting bagel was created by chef Frank Tujague of The Westin New York hotel at Times Square, to help raise funds for Les Amis d'Escoffier Scholarship which provides scholarships to students of the culinary arts.

"Bagels are a New York food landmark, which is where the base for this dish came from. White truffles are a simple, quality ingredient that takes the meal, or the bagel in this case, to the next level," said Tujague.

"I wanted to create something that speaks to New York, and is also a reflection of my culinary passion for seasonality and fine ingredients," said Tujague.
