Most Expensive Burger in NY
$175. Would you try it?
The burger, created by chef and co-owner Kevin O'Connell, seeks to justify its price with a Kobe beef patty, lots of black truffles, seared foie gras, aged Gruyere cheese, wild mushrooms and flecks of gold leaf on a brioche bun.
The eatery sells 20 or 25 per month in the fine dining room upstairs versus hundreds of $4 burgers each day at the diner counter downstairs, Tierney said.
They recently raised their price from $150 in order to retain Pocket Change's title.
That last link goes to a video where the interviewer is just a wee bit of a breathtaking dick.
What do you guys think about the flakes of gold leaf on the food? I'm thinkin' gimmicky, but good. What could it hurt?
