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.
