[Guest guest]

Okay.

Obviously this caught my attention and I had to find out WHAT ON EARTH could the

ingredients be to make it SO EXPENSIVE???? So I checked out the link...

" In honor of National Hamburger Month, Serendipity has created a haute cuisine

version of the iconic American dish! Known as Le Burger Extravagant, this

$295.00 burger is a mix of Japanese Waygu [sic] beef infused with 10-herb white

truffle butter, seasoned with Salish Alderwood smoked Pacific sea salt, topped

with cheddar cheese—hand-formed by the famous cheesemaker Montgomery in

Somerset, England, and cave-aged for 18 months—shaved black truffles, a fried

quail egg and served on a white truffle-buttered Campagna Roll, which is topped

with a blini, creme fraiche, and Paramout Caviar's exclusive Kaluga caviar—a

beautiful golden caviar with a buttery, nutty taste and large pearls from the

Huso Dauricus farm raised in Quzhou, China. The finishing touch to this

incredible burger is a solid gold " Fleur de Lis " toothpick encrusted with

diamonds and designed by world-renowned jeweler Euphoria New York. "

CLEARLY, I'm now thinking 'ooooh, what would ingredients would I choose for a

local version of this (sans the gold toothpick...that'd probably cut 75% off the

cost right there ;-)
