The Most Expensive Hamburger In The World Is Gold-Covered, A Bit Gaudy

The ‘world’s most expensive burger’ once looked like this… then this. Now, it’s a gold-covered monstrosity and, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, is officially the most ostentatious pile of meat in all the land.

Brought to us by Netherlands-based, chef Diego Buik — the burger contains Japanese dry-aged Wagyu beef, Oosterschelde lobster, Foie gras, white truffle, Remeker cheese, Japanese fruit tomatoes and caviar, in-between a saffron brioche bun covered in gold leaf.

The cost? $2,300. Fries are available, but they’re not gold, so we don’t see the point.

If that soft-serve of yours just isn’t fancy enough, there’s now golden ice cream. Kanazawa, apparently the gold leaf capital of Japan, is wrapping soft-serve ice cream with edible bling.

Although, some people already have experience ingesting very small doses of gold leaf, the jury is still out on what a cone’s worth of it will do. Stay tuned.

This $100 Gold Donut Is Fancy

And, you thought your Bavarian Creme donut was fancy? It’s got nothing on the Golden Cristal Ube Donut.

Created by Björn DelaCruz, of Brooklyn’s Manilla Social Club, the gaudy dessert ring is laced with Cristal and covered in 24-karat gold leaf.

The price tag for one donut… $100. If you need a dozen, that’ll run $1000, which will save you a few bucks for coffee.

The 24 Carrot Cake Is Valuable To Your Belly

As we all know, when gold has 24 carrots in it, it’s good stuff. So, it only makes sense to use carrots to create a gold cake.

Brought to us by Instructables user, Paige Russell, the 24 Carrot Cake looks like an actual gold bar. And, in case you’re wondering if this gold cake is legit, the recipe actually uses 24 baby carrots… so you know it’s good.

Oh… it’s gold “karats.” Never mind.
