While IHOP was serving up free pancakes for their guests yesterday, a British chef took quite the opposite approach. Alex Lovell, the 21-year old head chef at a Coventry restaurant, created what is being dubbed as possibly the most expensive pancake ever prepared. At £95, which is approximately $185 USD, the pancake includes heavenly ingredients such as Madagascar vanilla pods in the batter, jelly made with Dom Perignon Champagne, and berries flambeed in Louis XIV Cognac, all served alongside amaretto ice cream.
The young chef, who in his short career has already turned down a job with Gordon Ramsay, wasn't really expecting sales to go through the roof due to the price - he simply wanted to create something special for Pancake Day. There's no word yet on how many were actually sold.
