When it comes to Guinness World Records, not all are created equal. But some Guinness World Records just require a lot of cheese, a lot of butter and a little bit of gold. Since 2014, New York City's Serendipity3 has laid claim to the Guinness World Record for the world's most expensive sandwich: a grilled cheese that costs a whopping $214. The sandwich is served on made-to-order French bread which is made with Dom Perignon champagne and has edible gold flakes baked into it. Each sandwich gets roughly a half pound of the rare caciocavallo podolico cheese, which retails for upwards of $50 per pound.
