As you peruse their menu, filled with culinary wonders, brace yourself for the pièce de résistance that lies inconspicuously at the bottom. No, it's not a mere cheese steak that graces their offerings, oh no. It is none other than a burger, my dear friend. But not just any burger, mind you, but a $700 burger!
Yes, you read that correctly. Seven hundred dollars for a single hamburger.
From UPI:
For $700, you can get the Gold Standard. That's a Wagyu meat burger with caviar, fresh black truffle, lobster flambeed with cognac, topped with aged Irish cheddar and drizzled with honey.
Fries are included. As is a 1-ounce pour of Louis XIII Cognac, which fetches around $5,000 a bottle.
George Tsiouris, a co-owner of the beer garden, told local news station NBC10 the Gold Standard is about the joy of cooking.
"We are excited to provide our guests some amazing, creative and tasty options with our new menu concept," he said.
Tsiouris, however, said nothing of the gratuity that would come from a tab that included a $700 sandwich, though a 20% gratuity is added on to parties of six or more.
Good grief.
For $700, this hamburger better offer something more than just a culinary experience.
But based on the ingredients, it sounds like nothing more than a smorgasbord of excess and a rather generous tip for your waiter.
