“I’ll have the $12,000 dog’s eye, thanks.”
Hello there. We're Mark and Gyan from BuzzFeed dot com the website, and as you are reading this, we are digesting the world's most expensive surf 'n' turf pie.
(Please feel free to hold your applause until the end.)

Before we begin this tale of bravery, perseverance and unashamed gilded gluttony, it's important to understand why a meat pie worth $12,000 exists.
The dish, affectionately known as the "Posh Pie" inside the kitchen where it was born at Paddington's Lord Dudley Hotel, was created to celebrate the sale of the two millionth Groupon voucher in Australia.

The pie's ~fancy pants~ ingredient list includes Australia's dearest wagyu eye fillet, West Australian rock lobsters, french truffles worth $180 a pop and German gold leaf.
Because what pie worth its tomato sauce is served without a good old slice of gold?

Naturally, the pie also contains Australia's most iconic wine, Penfolds Grange.
Oh, baby.
