5 luxury gifts for the cook who has everything

Z5 Automatic Coffee and Espresso Center by Capresso ($3,198.95): Of course, you'll probably only want this if you really, really, really (that's three "reallys") like coffee and espresso. But then again, this is a set up like they have at Starbucks or Border's Cafe or one of the luxury coffee shops, so maybe you can set it up in your kitchen, put some flyers around town, and open up a little coffee shop for yourself.
Tresses Stainless Steel Pepper Mill ($99.95): Seems like a lot of money to just grind some pepper onto your food, but it looks like it could double as a weapon or a nice piece of art for your countertop.
Jenn-Air Built-In Wine Chiller ($1,015): If the cook on your list likes wine, he probably won't ever have to buy another wine fridge or wine rack again.
Caspian Royal Osetra Caviar ($109.99): I've never had caviar, and I'm not sure if this is incredibly expensive, but it's $110 for an ounce. I'd probably finish that during one episode of Family Guy. If I ate caviar.
Dinner at one of the world's most expensive restaurant ($$$$$): I'm talking about Aragawa in Tokyo, or Sketch in London, or maybe Arpegé in Paris. Sure, a couple hundred bucks per person might seem like a lot, but if you throw in airfare for the cook on your list, they'll be so happy that they'll probably never expect another gift from you again!
