In Worth It season 2 episode 4, the hosts Andrew, Steven, and Adam embark on a sugary adventure to explore the world of ice cream. They start off with a humble $1 ice cream from a corner store and quickly discover how much variety and creativity lies in the world of frozen treats.
Next, they head to artisanal ice cream shop Salt & Straw to try out some more unique flavors that cost around $5 per scoop. The hosts are blown away by the complexity and inventiveness of the flavors, which range from avocado and Oaxacan chocolate to strawberry honey balsamic.
But things really heat up when the trio visits Serendipity 3 in New York City, home of the famous $1,000 Golden Opulence Sundae. This extravagant dessert features edible gold leaf, rare Tahitian vanilla ice cream, and a variety of exotic fruits and toppings that add up to an eye-popping price tag.
As they indulge in this fancy feast, the hosts are forced to confront the question: is this ice cream really worth that much money? Is there any way that a dessert could truly be worth a thousand dollars?
To find out, they talk to the chefs and artisans behind these frozen treats, learning about the effort and creativity that goes into each flavor and each scoop.
