Today’s column comes from the Department of Useless Info. You’ve been warned.
One of 30-Second Read’s correspondents reported to our world headquarters about a new restaurant that offers an $80 burger. The offender is La Jarrito Mexican Grill in Bossier City, Louisiana.
The La Mamalona Burger features a fancy cut of ribeye steak and comes dressed with bacon, roasted bell peppers, grilled pineapple and … bone marrow. On brioche bun.
Here on Earth, $15 is a pricey burger. But $80?!
Hold on, fellow Normal People. We sicced our researchers – with Google’s help – to find other extravagant burgers. Turns out La Jarrito’s premium burger is comparatively el cheapo.
Consider the DB Royale Double Truffle Burger in New York City, at $120. With truffles and foie gras.
Or the Indulgence Burger, also in New York, for $250. It features Kobe beef and truffles, among other adornments.
Or the Douche Burger – in, yes, New York – for $666. Your burger will come wrapped in three (greasy) $100 bills. Other garnishments include lobster, caviar, foie gras and truffles.
Earth to chefs: y’all are nuts. Truly.
OMFG. What will the one-percenters think of next? Three greasy $100 bills? Shoot the bastards. Now. Put us out of their misery.
Guess I’ll stick with Whataburger an Burger King!
