Tangerine and Cinnamon 
The Costes restaurant in the Pompidou Centre holds my personal award for most expensive sandwich and glass of wine ever: I think it was 30 Euros. Admittedly it was a club sandwich with chips/fries, but still… The staff were amazingly good-looking and magnificently aware of it. It was hilarious. That article makes a lot of sense to me! 😉
Good grief – that was a very expensive, but rather fun sounding, sandwich.
