The 10 Most Expensive Burgers in the World
Normally, we think of hamburgers as quick and not very good snacks, which also don't usually cost too much. But be aware that around the world you can find very different versions of this sandwich, made with gourmet ingredients and accompanied by fine drinks. Check out!
1. McGuire's Grand Burger
Served at McGuires Irish Pub in Pensacola, Florida, this sandwich costs $ 100 and has a filet mignon burger. To accompany the snack, the customer receives nothing less than champagne Moët & Chandon, produced by one of the oldest and largest wine makers in the world.
2. Million Rupiah Burger
When on holiday in Indonesia, be sure to try this sandwich at the Four Seasons Hotel in Jakarta. Hamburger topped with foie gras (fat duck or goose liver pate), portobello mushrooms and Korean pears. It costs $ 108.
3. The DB Royale Double Truffle Burger
Found in both New York and Las Vegas, this hamburger is stuffed with boneless ribs and sauteed in red wine, plus foies gras, mixed vegetables and preserved black truffles, a kind of underground fungus consumed by humans for over 3, 000. years. All of this for "meager" $ 120.
4. Richard Nouveau Burger
At Wall Street Burger Shoppe in New York City, you'll find this flaky burger topped with 25 grams of black truffles, grilled foie gras and aged Gruyère cheese. It costs $ 175.
5. The Burguer
In London, England, you can find "O" hamburger at One Burguer King restaurant, sandwich with Wagyu steak (also known as "Kobe Steak"), white truffles, Iberian ham slices, candied onion fillets, Modena balsamic vinegar, canonigo leaves, pink Himalayan salt, organic white wine and shallots (garlic-onion flavored bulb) dipped in Iranian saffron with sprinkled white truffles. All this for a modest $ 200.
6. Serendipity Burguer
Also in New York City, Serendipity 3 sells for $ 295 a 10-herb white truffle butter-infused Wagyu beef burger sprinkled with smoked Pacific Ocean salt and topped with English-made cheddar cheese. Famous manufacturer James Montgomery and aged for 18 months.
As if that were not enough, they come with black truffle zest, fried quail egg and served on special bread with white truffle butter and decorated with blini (a kind of very thin pancake), crème fraîche and sturgeon-kaluga caviar.
Holding the decoration on top of the loaf is a toothpick made of gold and adorned with diamonds. Roughly speaking, we can say that one is buying a jewelry that happens to have a hamburger on the end.
7. The biggest hamburger in the world
At Mallies Sports Bar & Grill in Southgate, Michigan, you can order the largest hamburger in the world, ideal for sharing with hungry groups, as it weighs in at 84 pounds and costs $ 499. .
8. Douche Burguer
Of course, amid so many extravagant snacks, someone had to have fun and make fun of it. That's what the 666 Burguer offers, a street kiosk that sells hamburgers in New York. For the owner of the cafeteria, Franz Aliquo, 36, makes no sense paying dearly for snacks with gold flakes, something he says doesn't even give the food any special flavor.
For this reason, Aliquo decided to take the most expensive and "offensive" ingredients from the other sandwiches and combine them into one. Since the traditional hamburger costs $ 6.66 in your stall, the Douche Burguer (which can be translated as "Arrogant's Hamburger") costs $ 666.
Ingredients include foie gras-covered Kobe steak, lobster, champagne-melted Gruyère cheese, truffles, caviar, and a Barbecue sauce made from Kopi Luwak beans, a coffee you may not want to know how it is produced.
Although the idea came out of a joke, Aliquo says he has already sold a snack unit and that if anyone else wants to buy it, he will make a point of delivering and invoicing the client's money.
9. Kobe Beef and Maine Lobster Burger
Another sandwich made with Kobe steak. But this time, with a twist: fresh lobster, caramelized onions, imported brie cheese, fried parma ham and balsamic vinegar aged 100 years ago. To accompany, a bottle of the famous Dom Perignon champagne. The snack is served at Le Burger Brasserie in Nevada, United States, and costs $ 777.
10. FleurBurger 5000
Did you find the above snacks too expensive? You hardly know what ranks last on this list: a $ 5, 000 sandwich or, if you prefer, $ 10, 100 (without the waiter's 10%, of course).
Served at Fleur de Lys in Las Vegas, United States, the burger contains foie gras, special truffle sauce and is served on a special black truffle bread next door. To drink, the order includes a bottle of one of the most expensive wines in the world - Chateau Petrus of the 90s - served in Ichendorf Brunello glass.
But do not worry. The investment seems to be worth it. From the photo you can see that a portion of chips accompany the meal, which makes everything very different.
