Fans express shock at a lavish food item introduced for this weekend’s Miami Grand Prix: a $150 hot dog topped with premium caviar and gold flakes. The event, held around Hard Rock Stadium, already draws attention for its high-end pricing on seats and concessions.
Luxury Menu Highlights
Chèvre Miami partners with TV personality Jonathan Cheban, known as ‘Foodgod,’ and Golden Goat Caviar to offer exclusive items. The ‘Golden Glizzy’ features an Australian Wagyu beef hot dog loaded with crème fraîche, 30 grams of Ossetra caviar, chives, and 24-karat gold flakes for $100.
An upgraded ‘Foodgod Edition’ swaps in pricier Almas caviar and costs $150. Other options include the $125 ‘Gold Digger’ steak sandwich with Wagyu beef bresaola, Golden Goat caviar, confit onions, crispy onions, 24-karat gold flakes, and black Perigord truffle mayo. A combo deal pairs two hot dogs and two sandwiches—or one of each—for $195. For a lighter bite, a caviar-topped Basque cheesecake sells for $30.
Social Media Backlash
Online reactions highlight the extravagance. One Instagram user commented, ‘I’ll stick with my $1.50 Costco [hot dog emoji].’ Another labeled it ‘absolutely tone deaf.’ Comments also quipped, ‘That’s an electric bill right there,’ ‘Who do they think they are, FIFA?,’ and ‘If you would buy this I have some blinker fluid to sell you.’
Event Collaborators and Context
Cheban, who co-designed the menu, maintains ties to the Kardashian family. Recent reports link Kim Kardashian to Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton. The Miami Grand Prix marks the grid’s return after the Japanese Grand Prix in late March, following cancellations of the mid-April Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix due to the ongoing conflict involving Iran.
Race Weekend Schedule
Action begins Friday with Free Practice 1 (FP1), followed by sprint race qualifying. Saturday features the sprint race and main Grand Prix qualifying. The feature race starts at 4:00 p.m. ET on Sunday.
