foie gras? Huh. It is cheaper than aged rib eye by about half (at a local boutique grocer, aged ribeye is $30-50/lb and foie gras is about $16).

I'd finger filet mignon as an overrated showy food because it actually has very little flavor and it is bragged about among country-club suburban nitwits with their 3-series Beemers and "premium beige" mcmansions.
