After the gastronomic extravaganza of the “world's most expensive meal” in Bangkok earlier this year, where course after course of haute cuisine dished up by a bevy of world-famous, three-Michelin-starred chefs was served to a privileged few, a sequel is now being planned for the end of 2008. Although, with 500 tickets slated for sale, it is destined to be set on a far grander scale than the first iteration, which was enjoyed by fewer than forty invited guests. Thirty 3-star Michelin chefs are slated to show off their culinary talents at the next in the series of “Epicurean Masters of the World” dinners, which is going to be hosted at the breathtaking pyramids of Giza in Egypt. As with the previous event, part of the profits of the Giza feast will be going to charity, although the price of admission per person has been slashed in half from the Bangkok dinner, whose fine French wine, Champagne, and food set diners back by roughly US$30,000 each. The Egypt menu remains a mystery, however, although the culinary focus is said to be more diverse with exotic foods matched with equally unique wine.
