This is a Fleurburger.
It costs $5,000.00

How much is too much to pay for a burger? (Obviously the ideal is "make it yourself" but we don't always live in an ideal world)

The best burger ever was from a little grill inside a gas station back in the late 80s in rural South. Good quality buns, 1/4lb beef, sharp cheddar, lettuce, tomato, red onion, mustard, mayo, ketchup that were $1.50.

I've yet to eat a burger that ever matched Mr. G's cheeseburger that was consistently that high quality for decades before the grill shut down. I've had countless others from $1.50 to $30 with nothing standing out compared to the un-pretentious grill owner with high quality ingredients.

They specifically did "just" a burger, but then pulled a lot of tricks and obviously optimized everything like you would expect. Using beef garum etc. You can read up on that if you want.

I also tried their vegetarian version which had a quinoa-tempeh patty. I actually got more of a seared bite out of that one. The caramelization was incredible. It's difficult to explain but there was definitely more of a cookout flex compared to the regular burger. You can find David Zilber's (head of Noma fermentation lab at the time) explanation of how they made it if you Google it.

Because they're not buying the burger to have good food, they're buying fuel to get through a working schedule that has less days off than any other major Western country.

The wine: a 1995 Chateau Petrus, $2,500 a bottle.
You also get a $75 Ichendorf glass to take home. Kobe beef burger? $50.

The most expensive ingredient is the $300 black truffles. Mix those with foiegras for the sauce. Stuff them in the bun too.

All the ingredients don't come to $5000, but even setting aside the wine, that's a burger with fucking expensive ingredients.

a double bacon cheese burger from mediocre chain like carls jr is what 9 bucks now? A decent place like bad daddys or the local bar is 11-14 before you add anything. 2 patties, bacon, cheese, onions and pickles is right at 17 dollars after tax. The saving grace is ill get two meals out of it because i won't eat 2/3rds of a pound of beef in one sitting.

more than $6 (plus large sprite and fries with BBQ sauce) and you're getting ripped off

>Colorado, im just not poor.

I've over 100,000 in the bank. It's the principle of the matter. $20 for a damn burger is one step away from going "I mean it's one banana Michael. What could it cost, $10?"

This was only during the early stages of the corona hoax.

They were making 3000 burgers a day. The line was half a kilometer long when I went, and I arrived as they were opening.
