There's a place in New York City selling a $175 hamburger (made from Kobe beef). Its topped with gold dust!?!
Here's the story:
If you thought dropping $81 on a hamburger at The Old Homestead was enough to prove you’ve arrived, think again, hayseed – New York’s newest culinary status symbol, the “Richard Nouveau” burger at Wall Street Burger Shoppe, is going to cost you over twice that. They’re charging $175 for the experience, but money’s no object when it comes to showing the other hedge-funders you’ve completely lost touch with reality, right?
Momentarily the city’s most expensive burger, the Richard Nouveau consists of 10 ounces of Kobe-raised beef crowned with a thick “lobe” of seared foie gras, 25 grams of shaved black truffles, and aged gruyere cheese. It comes enthroned on a brioche bun anointed with a homemade truffled mayonnaise and garnished with more shaved truffles. Oh, and gold leaf flakes from Japan, which has the yummiest gold.
This edible monument of decadence also eclipses chef/restaurateur Daniel Boulud, whose $150 “Royale” burger is now the Hyundai of haute burgers. While the star chef tells the Daily News he won’t get drawn into a pissing contest and raise his price, he’s none too impressed with this arriviste competitor: “It's not about extravagance; it's about respect for real cooking. The luxury is in the care and the ingredients.” It is so on. For more on the Richard Nouveau’s creation, Pocket Change has video of its assembly and subsequent devouring.
What?? No ketchup???

Gold was thought to add strength and vitality in some cultures, much like tiger penis soup. No logic really, but funny as hell. I thought this thread was about Hamburgers NOT Hot Dogs!!
Salute!

Fatburger is really popular around the LA/Orange County area. They've even been voted one of the best burgers in LA. I think they're rather bleh. I first visited Fatburger (in L.A.) around 1980 or so. I thought they were absolutely great. I found they had a store here locally and went earlier this year - what a BIG disappointment! There was a chain, Fuddrucker's, around here (but most seem to have closed recently) that had good burgers. Dunno why they didn't do better business than they did, especially when there are so many crappy burger chains around.

Six years ago I went to Fuddrucker's a few times, and I loved it. A few years ago I went back (even the same store) and it wasn't good at all.
See, we can act as smart as we want, but at the end of the day, we still follow a guy who fucks himself with kebab skewers.

I haven't seen any Fuddruckers around here, but there's quite a few in Maryland, one of which I went to a couple times, as it was in the same vicinity as where I used to work. They have good burgers, and I like that you apply your own toppings. My aunt, whose first language was not English, could never say Fuddruckers. She used to pronounce it "Fuckerfuckers" or something hilarious like that. She was always after my mother to go there for lunch. 
"Growing up my dad was like 'You have a great last name, Galifianakis. Galifianakis...begins with a gal...and ends with a kiss...' I'm like that's great dad, can we get it changed to 'Galifianafuck' please?" -- Zach Galifianakis
