Forget talk of a recession - a new $175 burger has set the city's gold standard for conspicuous consumption.
The Richard Nouveau - from the Wall Street Burger Shoppe, natch - comes topped with a blizzard of real gold flakes, plus 25 grams of black truffles, a seared slab of foie gras and an aged Gruyere typically reserved for a high-class cheese tray.
The patty is made from 10 ounces of Kobe beef, a pricey meat so rich that grinding it up is like bathing in bottled water.
Hefty but not too hard to handle, it's as juicy as a summer peach, complete with drippage down your chin. Any chef will tell you fat means flavor, and this baby has twice that of a normal burger...." nydailynews.com
Venom, for the first time, we actually agree on something; anyone who would actually pay for something to eat THIS expensive deserves a special helmet to wear while they eat it. lol seriously, why would i spend that much, when i could drop 3 bucks at the supermarket and buy me enough ramen noodles to last me a decade? lol

Trust Me, the first time you actually manage to have Kobe beef somehow, you'll think that that's a cheap burger...especially with all the "toppings"...not had foie gras yet but have heard it is as smooth as butter as well...
No thanks I'll pass..Oh and please don't judge me, thanks
Same here, i'll just stick to the Ramen. lol what can i say? im 21. thats one of like 5 things i can actually cook. lol
Ok seriously people, if you were to go and order that burger, does the garnish come with it for the $175 or is that an extra $50? That's pathetic.
My mom used to get mad at me for buying a burger at a "decent" place, I wonder how pissed she'd be if I told her I went to a fancy place and paid $175 for one! lol
kobe beef ahahahahah (drools homer style) this is one of those things for people with more money than they could possibly know what to do with

What is the point of eating gold leaf? there is no nutritional value, and i wouldn't imagine it tastes great or anything. It's just so a bunch of rish jackasses can think they're better than anyone else because they eat gold. I hope they choke and die on that burger.
Must have been one hell of a stuck up cow!!!!
Oh for crying out loud! I think I'll stick to BBQ at my home. Wonder if it is served on engraved gold plates...
Hell I can stock my house w/ groceries for a while on what that costs! Screw that!
