The Hundred Dollar Sandwich

I love a well made sandwich. Unfortunately, the tastiest combinations tend to be the most calorific and this £85 ($145) gourmet creation is not going to be an exception.
Created by Scott McDonald, the chef at Selfridges London Department store this bruiser of a sandwich owes it’s hefty price tag to
it’s key ingredient - Wagyu beef. What the hell is that you may ask? Well Wagyu are a highly groomed breed of cattle from Japan which enjoy a carefully controlled diet of beer and grain.
It is said that “they are regularly massaged with sake, the Japanese rice wine, to tenderize the flesh.”
Wagyu or not this sandwich looks delicious. Is it worth the price tag? You tell me.
