Imagine spending $12,000 on a single pizza.🍕💸

The famous Louis XIII pizza, created by Italian chef Renato Viola, has been widely reported with a price tag of around $12,000. It is made with luxury ingredients including several types of caviar, lobster, premium mozzarella, prawns, and other high-end seafood.

This is far more than ordinary takeout. The pizza has even been prepared at the customer’s home as part of an exclusive dining experience.

If money were no problem, would you actually spend $12,000 to try this pizza?

Are You Team Golden Roast Chicken or Team Smoky Bbq Chicken?

Today on Foods & Roots, we are putting two of the most iconic chicken dinners of all time head-to-head! While both deliver juicy, tender meat, their cooking techniques and flavor styles couldn't be more different! 🤤✨

🍗 Classic Roast Chicken: Elegant, cozy, and timeless! Whole chicken roasted in the oven with olive oil or butter, fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme), garlic, and lemon. The result is golden, paper-thin crispy skin with savory pan drippings perfect for gravy!

🔥 Best BBQ Chicken: Bold, smoky, and sticky-sweet! Bone-in chicken pieces slathered in a rich tomato, brown sugar, and smoky spice glaze, cooked low-and-slow over live fire or high-heat grilling to get those irresistible charred, caramelized edges!

Whether you love the herb-seasoned elegance of a Sunday Roast or the finger-licking sweetness of Smoky BBQ, both are absolute crowd-pleasers!

EASY HOMEMADE KEY WEST CHICKEN AND SHRIMP RECIPE
🛒 Ingredients:

Pineapple Pico de Gallo:

¾ cup diced fresh pineapple

¼ cup diced red onion

¼ cup minced jalapeño pepper

¼ cup diced tomato

3 tbsp minced fresh cilantro

2 tbsp fresh lime juice

Pinch of salt

Key West Chicken & Shrimp:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 lb medium shrimp (peeled and deveined)

½ cup orange juice

½ cup minced jalapeño pepper

¼ cup white w**e vinegar

1 lime (zested and juiced)

2 tbsp avocado oil

2 tbsp honey

2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp granulated garlic

¼ tsp salt and black pepper

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

Make the Pico: In a bowl, toss together the pineapple, red onion, ¼ cup jalapeño, tomato, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Cover and refrigerate.

Mix the Marinade: In a covered bowl, whisk together the orange juice, ½ cup jalapeño, white w**e vinegar, lime zest, lime juice, avocado oil, honey, soy sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper.

Marinate Chicken & Shrimp: Pound chicken to uniform thickness. Place chicken in a baking dish and pour half the marinade over it; marinate for 1 hour in the fridge. Marinate the shrimp in the remaining reserved marinade for just 15 minutes, then thread onto skewers.

Grill to Perfection: Preheat grill to medium heat. Grill chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Grill shrimp skewers for 1–2 minutes per side until opaque.

Assemble & Serve: Top each grilled chicken breast with a generous spoon of fresh pineapple pico de gallo and grilled shrimp. Garnish with lime wedges and fresh cilantro!

DID YOU KNOW SWEET POTATOES AND REGULAR POTATOES AREN'T EVEN RELATED? 🥔🍠

Despite sharing a name and a place in your pantry, sweet potatoes and white potatoes are complete botanical strangers! 😲✨

🥔 White Potatoes: Belong to the Solanaceae (nightshade) family, making them closely related to tomatoes, eggplants, and bell peppers. They are actually swollen underground stems called tubers!

🍠 Sweet Potatoes: Belong to the Convolvulaceae (morning glory) family! They grow as swollen root structures (tuberous roots) and are closer to flowering garden vines than regular potatoes.

🌿 Bonus Yam Confusion: True yams are a third, completely separate plant family native to Africa and Asia. What most Americans call "yams" are just soft-fleshed sweet potatoes!

Nature pulled off the ultimate grocery store disguise! 🥔💫
