That’s not all. The dinner is also accompanied by out-of-this-world gravy that has been infused with bourbon priced at $2,890 a bottle. The steakhouse’s orange cranberry sauce included wine from France that costs $1,750 bottle.
Co-owner Marc Sherry told ABC News that it’s these unique elements in each recipe that make the dinner exceptional.
“I have to say that when someone pays $50,000 for this dinner, I hope he’s not counting calories,” Sherry said, with a laugh. “The culinary team here at Old Homestead goes through great lengths to find the ingredients that make this so special. It’s a collaborative effort of all the culinary staff here.”
He added: “Our executive chef just wanted to bring Thanksgiving dinner to another level and this year, we definitely have.”
