1. I wouldn't pay that for a slow food burger.

[charlie and algernon]

4. Exactly

If you're paying more than $15 for a burger, you're doing it wrong.

[Chan790]

9. Maybe it's because I'm a food nerd and sometimes culinary professional...

but not only did I spent more than $15 dollars on a burger, I've spent >$150 on a burger twice. Sometimes, you just need to know what can be done to modest foods when cost/price is an irrelevant factor. It's inspiring and it makes your own food better.

No, you're doing something very very right, the artistry and creativity therein are worth the price of admission...it's not something that one should do with any regularity though.

2. Hell no.

[Buns_of_Fire]

3. It depends. Does it come with fries and a free toy? nt

[jakeXT]

5. The question is:"Can you eat it?"

[surrealAmerican]

6. It's a cute video.

He certainly entertained those fast food employees.

As far as eating it is concerned - hell no.

7. I would if I was Oprah

[Fortinbras Armstrong]

8. For that price, it had better be the burger of the gods.

Here is what to drink with it: Sam Adams Utopias at well over $100 per bottle.

[LeftofObama]

10. I hate to be the party pooper,

but since no one would be able to open their mouth that wide to eat that wouldn't it make more sense to order several burgers with one or two extra patties? I would imagine that it would be cheaper too.

[In_The_Wind]

11. I was thinking of laying it down so I could use a knife and fork on it.

[LeftofObama]

12. OK,

if you need any help give me a call. Have fork, will travel!

[Yavin4]

28. However you eat that burger, you're going to be some kind of "pooper" n/t

[alarimer]

13. Only if it was served to me by George Clooney naked.

Then I wouldn't care how much it cost.

[In_The_Wind]

15. Very nice thought ...

... swoon ...

[KamaAina]

14. Yes.

And I'd make them break this:

[Locut0s]

17. That was probably only worth a couple of dollars :D...

Inflation in Zimbabwe in 2008, date of issue of that bill, was at 471,000,000,000%

[AsahinaKimi]

16. no, no...and No...

I can not eat beef or Pork. Turkey burger, I can eat..but nothing that huge. OMG.. that is like the express lane to heart attackville!

[In_The_Wind]

19. It's over 9,000 calories.

More like lunch for 4.


IMO: It would be yummy made with turkey.

[Locut0s]

18. If I won the powerball maybe. nt.

[In_The_Wind]

20. I would ask Chan790 where he bought his burger ...

[B Calm]

21. Maybe for a brat, but for a burger, hell no!

[struggle4progress]

22. Why are you overstating the price? It was only $38.23

[In_The_Wind]

23. whoopsie ...

It was early, I was flabbergasted
inflation in the northeast

I just baked a batch of green apple muffins [img][/img]
FFS I don't know [img][/img]


[img][/img] pick one [img][/img]

[struggle4progress]

24. I think you're just trying to make him look like a crazy spend-thrift

[greytdemocrat]

25. WOOT!!!

That looked fantastic!!! Enough food for days!!!

[Xyzse]

26. Maybe...

I can see paying for some sort of burger for that much, but not for "Fast Food" type burger.
I mean, I generally won't do such a thing, but, there must be some serendipitous things happening for me to do so.

1 - If I am with friends or family that want to do it too
2 - It has something special about it
3 - It must be memorable

For me to consider paying that much, there has to be artistry involved.
I've spent over a bill per person on food at times. I can't see a burger being able to pull that off.

However, for a 38.32 burger, like I said, I won't go for anything that is "Fast Food" type.
It would have to have:

-Genuine Kobe Beef or something of the same quality(Wagyu Beef?)
-Heirloom Tomatoes
-Heirloom Lettuce(If there even is such a thing)
-Sauce made by an actual Sous Chef

Saying that... For a damn burger, I would never pay more than $45 for it adjusted to inflation.
I mean seriously, a burger is a damn burger. It could only go so far.

Out of the ones I would maybe try in that link that I put up, I'd probably try the 10, 9 and 7(there is a $32 version).
The douche burger makes me LOL.

[BainsBane]

27. I won't eat fast food burgers period.

If I want a burger, I get a juicy lucy at a nearby bar.

29. Chubby's Burger Shack in Ft. Worth

Has a $25 burger. http://www.chubbysburgershack.com/menu.html

Chubby Challenge = The challenge is to eat a 3 lb burger (6 pieces of meat with 6 pieces of cheese) and 2 lbs of fries. Eat it all in 45 min, get a T-Shirt and it's free. More than 500 have tried it, only 4 have done it. Eat it at your own risk.
