150 dollar hamburger



Quote:
America's Most Expensive Hamburger

On May 26, millions of Americans celebrated Memorial Day with backyard barbecues. While most of our grills were filled with the usual Grade-A meat from local butchers and supermarkets, dozens of restaurants across the country served Kobe-beef burgers topped not with ketchup and mustard, but truffles and foie gras. The price tags on these wallet-busting burgers can reach $175.

Yeah man, what a coincidence, yesterday I saw something about such an expensive burger sold in london on TV.
Some mastercook tried to make it himself then.

God, people have too much cash and too little taste these days it seems.
Would I ever spend that much cash on a simple burger, regardless if it's kobe meat with truffles or not?
NO!

That's just funny to me!

This is true. The mastercook in my TV show almost cried when he had to grind that valueful piece of meat to get a damn burger from it.

Why would any chef grind up Kobe beef? It's the texture and fat marbeling that makes this type of beef so great. The preperation for making a burger patty destroys all the fine qualities of this beef.

I guarantee you the selected cuts used for this burger is probably not the best choice for a traditional burger. They say it's the best, but when the texture is gone and the fat is cooked out of it, you can't tell the difference. The chefs will save the best parts for steak, filet mignon, etc. People who eat Kobe beef burgers think they are eating the best but don't know how to eat beef. Rich people will pay for anything that's novel, even if it's crap.

Just my two cents.
