That is one bougie burger.
A Philadelphia restaurant that opened on Friday is serving hamburgers with a $700 price tag.
The delicacy — on the menu on the DBG, the Drury Beer Garden and dubbed the “Gold Standard” — is made from A5 Wagyu beef, caviar, truffle, lobster flambeed with Louis XIII cognac, gold leaf and Wexford aged Irish cheddar.
It’s accompanying fries are drizzled with rare and potent 1500+ Manuka Honey, produced from the nectar of the mānuka tree that’s native to Latest Zealand.
The honey can cost as much as the not-so-sweet price of $816 online.
DBG’s expensive entrée can be served with a 1-ounce side of Louis XIII cognac, which is aged a minimum of 40 years and produced in limited quantities by Remy Martin.
A 750 ml bottle retails for $4,100, in accordance with Forbes.
“Burgers are one of the crucial loved food items around the globe,” George Tsiouris, who co-owns the Center City restaurant together with his sister, Vasiliki Tsiouris-Balis, said in a press release.
“We’re excited to offer our guests some amazing, creative and engaging options with our recent menu concept.”
Even though it doesn’t cost anywhere near the world’s costliest burger, which sells for $5,964, Twitter users said they might not take pleasure in the pricey patty.
“No that’s rent money,” said @adaywithoutlove.
“I’d hold the burger and make a donation as a substitute,” added @jenniferlogue. “With people struggling a lot today (especially with inflation) that is in really poor taste.”
Other than a Waygu cheeseburger that goes for $85, DGB’s other burgers range from $19 to $23.
