At $200, Burger King Does World's Most Expensive Burger

Posted by Adam Kuban, June 19, 2008 at 1:00 PM

The pricey burger is for charity, and it's only available in one Burger King in West London once a week. Here's what it's made up of:

The fine ingredients of what is called simply 'The Burger' include Wagyu beef, white truffles, Pata Negra ham slices, Cristal onion straws, Modena balsamic vinegar, lambs lettuce, pink Himalayan rock salt, organic white wine and shallot infused mayonnaise in an Iranian saffron and white truffle dusted bun.

Another megaexpensiveburger. Meh.

This competition to make the most expensive burger, just to get buzz in the newspaper and TV news "oddly enough" sections, is getting ridiculous. Next someone will add gold leaf, then diamond dust, then something else, just to get attention.

@Raphael, they use the gold leaf in Serendipity's $10,000 ice cream sundae.

I wonder how good the burger actually is-- I mean, it is from BK...

Sorry-- $1000. Still.

@Raphael, they're already using gold dust/leaf in the ridic $175 burger at Wall Street Burger Shoppe. Just linked it in body of post above.

This is the perfect snack to eat in your $250,000 Mercedes-Maybach (as long as it's available at the drive-thru window).

Check out this video The Telegraph did on the burger.

At many points, people didn't even want to taste it. And the best that the people who they did get to try it said was things like "it's not terrible" or "thanks for the chance". And the chef sounds horribly pretentious about it. Perhaps it is the accent, but he's talking about a burger in such a highfaluting manner. It just seems wrong.

total decadence in the name of charity - revolting!
