The break-the-bank burger
The world’s most expensive burger has been unveiled in New York.
The $295 dish has been unveiled at the city’s Serendipity 3 restaurant and is listed by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s most expensive.
For your money, you get a burger patty of Japanese Waygu beef infused with 10-herb white truffle butter and seasoned with Salish Alderwood smoked Pacific sea salt.
This is topped with cheddar cheese, hand-made and cave-aged for 18 months by famed cheesemaker James Montgomery of Somerset, England.
Extras include shaved black truffles, a fried quail egg, a blini, creme fraiche, Kaluga caviar and a white truffle-buttered Campagna roll.
The burger was invented for the US National Hamburger Month and all profits from the burger will be donated to the Bowery Mission, which serves homeless and hungry New Yorkers.
