Last Sunday, Charlie Trotter’s celebrated its 20th anniversary with an eight-course over-the-top extravaganza cooked up by Trotter and many other international culinary luminaries like Thomas Keller (The French Laundry, Per Se), Ferran Adrià (el Bulli), and Hester Blumenthal (The Fat Duck). The $5,000-a-head dinner also included a goodie bag any gourmand would almost pay the same price for. Here’s what The Stew reports:

1. Tiffany box containing small pewter picture frame. Inside, a coupon for a complimentary spa treatment at the Elysian Hotel, which is scheduled to open a year from now.
2. 500 milliliter bottle Lucini Italia Organics premium select extra virgin olive oil. Around the neck of the bottle is a paper tag contain a recipe for fresh oranges and toasted fennel.
3. 375 milliliter bottle of 2004 Bonny Doon Le Cigare Blanc, a white wine made from roussane and grenache blanc grapes. The 2005 vintage was poured with the crab course prepared by Tetsuya Wakuda of Tetusya’s in Sydney, Australia.
4. Bobble-head figurine of Reginald Watkins, Trotter’s “Employee #1.” Watkins wears chef’s whites and toque. On the base is emblazoned what must be his signature line, “Chef, cut it out!!!”
5. Large-format, limited-edition soft cover book titled “20 years at Charlie Trotters: A History in Photographs.” No autograph but numbered. [...]
6. Daniel Boulud’s “Letters to a Young Chef.” Hardcover book, priced at $22.50. Signed by the Manhattan-based chef, who made a dish of wild Scottish grouse with a sarawak pepper cromesquis for the Trotter anniversary dinner.
7. Heston Blumenthal’s “Family Food.” Soft cover, priced at 12.99 pounds. Signed by the UK master of molecular gastronomy. His dish at the Trotter dinner was a show-stopper: assorted seafoods and seaweeds served while iPod-wearing guests listened to the ocean crashing on the beach.
8. Menu signed by all the star chefs participating in the dinner. Presented in a paper anniversary folder.
9. CD-rom about The Fat Duck, Blumenthal’s restaurant in Bray, England.
10. Metallic lizard from One & Only Palmilla, the Mexican resort where Charlie Trotter has a restaurant.
11. Two macaroons from Pierre Herme, the Parisian-based master baker. These little Oreo-sized cookies capped the meal. One was flavored with aged balsamic vinegar, the other with black truffle.

Man, I don’t know about you, but I’d kill for that metallic lizard.
