The World's Most Expensive Burger

The world's most expensive burger - flame grilled Wagyu Beef, topped with white truffles in an Iranian saffron and truffle bun - is to go on sale at a fast food restaurant.

 

Burger King's £95 sandwich, named simply The Burger, will make Guinness World Record history beating a similarly extravagant American Double Truffle Burger which cost just £65 in 1994.

 

The world's most succulent Japanese beef is complemented with white truffles, onion tempura prepared in Cristal champagne and Italy's finest Pata Negra prosciutto

 

Restaurant critics have dismissed the burger as just the latest stunt in a marketing craze which has seen Selfridges charge £85 for a sandwich and Peter Jones, the Sloane Square department store, ask £50 for a cup of coffee pre-digested by a Civet cat.

 

Jasper Gerard, The Daily Telegraph's restaurant critic said: "This is just a PR stunt, even more absurd than the coffee costing virtually as much as a semi-detached house in Crewe.

 

"Burger bars are desperate to move up market as more people question why they are filling their bodies with fast food. But who will really spend £95 in Burger King?"

 

David Kisilevsky, vice president of marketing at the fast food chain, said: "The Burger is an extension of Burger King's quality burger menu and is aimed at burger aficionados, looking for the ultimate burger taste experience.

 

"It reflects our ongoing commitment to producing the best quality burgers for a range of different pockets and reinforces our quality credentials."

The Burger in the Ritz in London is very good. About £15 if I remember correctly (with chips).

In the same way as there is a Pride of Lions and a Murder of Crows, I heard that a group of Baboons is a Congress.

Can someone please explain that whole "pre-digested" concept - and why anyone would want to drink cat's piss that cost £1.50, let alone £50?

Snobbery. As soon as something is expensive, it's exclusive (or vice versa). No other reason.

So buying this pre-digested coffee would be a bit like someone getting a personalised number plate for a pretty average looking Astra coupe then?

 

Except the pre-digested coffee things is the choice of connoisseurs, and the personalised numberplate is the choice of dunno,sirs.
