Top Five Most Expensive Burgers in The World

It was only a matter of time before top chefs turned America’s favorite junk food into gourmet creations with price tags that could feed a small country. Here is a list of the top five most expensive burgers in the world.

The DB Royale – $120

A seasonal and quite rich variation of the classic burger, Chef Daniel Bouloud turns this burger into French decadence with the DB Royale. Only available from December through the end of March, this awesome burger can be found at DB Bistro Moderne in New York City and the Daniel Bouloud Brasserie in Las Vegas.

This succulent sandwich is made with ground beef and stuffed with red wine-braised short ribs, foie gras, a mix of root vegetables, and preserved black truffles. Then everything is packed between a homemade toasted Parmesan and poppy seed bun. Also added is a little touch of fresh horseradish, oven roasted tomato confit, fresh tomato, red onions, and frisee lettuce. Top it off with fresh black truffles and voila, number five on our list.

The Richard Nouveau Burger- $175

Located in the Financial District, the Wall Street Burger Shoppe is home to the Richard Nouveau Burger. This burger is made from prime kobe beef and topped with aged gruyere cheese. Shaved black truffles, foie gras, and a golden truffle mayonnaise are spread on the bun. The burger also has real gold flakes, and in the past, owners have raised the price of this dish in order to stay on the list of most expensive, which is now priced at $175. Co-owner and chef Kevin O’Connell serves the burger with Belgian-style fries, mixed greens, and a tomato salad.

The Burger – $186

Perhaps an unlikely placed to find a gourmet burger, Burger King has created one to rival all upscale restaurants. Their gourmet burger can only be found in their West London location, and it is made with some pretty decadent ingredients including Wagyu beef, white truffles, Pata Negra ham slices, Cristal onion straws, Modena balsamic vinegar, labms lettuce, pink Himalayan rock salt, and organic white wine and shallot infused mayonnaise in an Iranian saffron and white truffle dusted bun.

On a philanthropic side note, proceeds for this special patty benefit the Help A London Child charity.

Kobe Beef and Maine Lobster Burger- $777

The upscale version of fast-food surf-and-turf, this burger has all the ingredients to satisfy an appetite fit for Sin City.  Found only at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas, this burger is topped with caramelized onions, imported Brie, crispy prosciutto, and 100-year aged balsamic vinegar. It is served with a bottle of Rose Dom Perignon champagne. A combination that is irresistibly sinful.

Fleur Burger 5000 — $5000

Beating all attempts to create the most decadent and expensive burger is Fleur de Lys, located at the Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. Costing $5000, chef Hubert Keller dares you to indulge in this mouthwatering creation. And to prove/brag that you have indulged in a $5000 burger, he will mail a certificate to your home.

Now what could possibly be in a burger that would amount to such a price? Well, first of all, it is made of Kobe Beef, foie gras, and black truffles. Then it is placed on a brioche truffle bun topped with Keller’s special truffle sauce. It’s all served with a bottle of  1990 Chateau Petrus and imported Ichendork Brunello stemware, which you are welcomed to keep.
