This Beverly Hills Restaurant Will Be Charging $1,912 For A Salad Served With White Gloves

The Polo Lounge in the Beverly Hills Hotel announced a special edition version of their famous McCarthy salad, with a hefty new price tag.

The new menu item is a part of the hotel's opulent plans to celebrate its 110th anniversary and will be available from June to December, according to Traveller.

The McCarthy salad usually costs $44, but the upgraded version will go for $1,912.

In 2020, the restaurant shared its recipe for the popular menu item which usually consists of iceberg and romaine lettuce, grilled chicken, roasted beets, crumbled boiled eggs, cheddar cheese, bacon, tomato, and avocado.

The special edition version however, will add caviar, lobster, and edible gold flakes.

The Independent states the luxury meal "will arrive via white-gloved waiters in a bowl specially made by French porcelain house Bernardaud, and comes with a bottle of Dom Pérignon champagne."

The hotel says that a portion of the proceeds from the extravagant salad will be donated to the Los Angeles Conservancy. The charity is dedicated to preserving unique and historic buildings in the city.

Customers will be allowed to keep the bowl it's served in, which is inspired by the hotels pink and green botanical wallpaper.
