But Does it Contain Trans fats?

Via WCBSTV (CBS Broadcasting):

If you are in the mood for gourmet pizza and have money to burn – lots of it, stop by Nino's Bellisima for their luxury $1,000 pizza. Yes, $1,000. Drudge had this story linked (at 5:55 PM EST) with the obnoxious headline “GILDED AGE: $1,000 PIZZA AT NYC RESTAURANT.” I see nothing inherently wrong with someone who has that kind of money spending it on a slice of pie. In fact, it has been people with extra money to spend who have long funded innovations most of us now take for granted. The book was once the privilege of the upper class, so were the television and the computer. I have not personally tasted this pizza, but if it is worth $1,000 to people with lots of money it might be damned good pizza. And it might have a recipe that will eventually filter down to those of us with less extravagant incomes.
