Out of 15 items: 8 of them use gold leaf to seem more expensive 3 use truffle oil/butter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truffle_oil) which is often fake and used mostly as a buzzword to inflate the price At least 1 of them (the shark fin soup) is illegal to make in most civilized countries
The only one of those that a sane, rational person would even consider eating is the The California Capitol City Dawg, which actually sounds like it was crafted for flavor rather than to bilk new money suckers into conspicuous consumption. It's essentially the culinary equivalent of 3-Card Monte, and if you're stupid enough to put your money down you deserve to have it taken from you.
