Neiman Marcus Cookie Recipe Redux?

While dining at the Bobby Flay Steak restaurant in Atlantic City, Joe Lentini said he ordered a bottle of Screaming Eagle Oakville 2011, at the recommendation of the waitress, who told him it cost "thirty-seven fifty." He was surprised when this turned out to be $3,750, not $37.50. After he complained the bill was lowered to $2,200. [NY Mag]

Not even close. He's not revealing the recipe for the wine. Besides if it's a hoax it's an elaborate one.

I say that because the companyh that owns the restaurant seems to think it actually happened as well
