My husband just told me that they've been talking about it
for weeks and someone finally ordered it (10 oz of caviar).

Apparently they also have a $100 omlette with ONE once of
caviar...

BTW: If the caviar is American grown, it shouldn't be so
expensive. If the caviar is from elsewhere, they are
overfishing their sturgeon and the idots who put it on the
menu should be horse whipped.
