On Manhattan’s Upper East Side, a US$200 plate of French fries stretches the definition of haute cuisine.

The New York restaurant Serendipity 3 already claims world records for the most expensive burger (US$295) and ice cream sundae (US$1,000), so if the question is, “You want fries with that?” its answer is a resounding yes.

Guinness World Records certified the feat. As of July 13, the fries are officially the most expensive on Earth.

“Serendipity is really a happy place,” said creative director and chef Joe Calderone. “People come here to celebrate, to really escape the reality of life sometimes.”
