 $5,000 bowl soup

$5,000 bowl soup. A bowl of Pho, the classic Vietnamese noodle soup, will be offered at a starting bid of $5,000 in a charity auction to benefit the USCF Benioff Children's Hospital and the Children's Hospitals of Los Angeles/Orange county.

Normally this dish would only cost a few dollars, but the upscale Tiato restaurant in Santa Monica, CA created a decadent version of the soup using rare, luxury ingredients such as white alba truffles, A5 Wagyu beef, foie gras based broth, special hand-raised bean sprouts and the meat from rare blue lobsters.
