The Edison’s Angel Eggs, a pairing of the common chicken egg with exotic Osetra caviar, prove to be a delicious addition to an already accomplished menu.

The creamy texture of the deviled yolk compliments the smooth caviar, welcoming your tongue to a sensory delight. Just as the name - initially ironic but now understandable - suggests, the eggs take your taste buds to heaven.
Price: $30 each !
