The Rossini Burger

Chef Hubert Keller has cemented his place as the burger chef by launching his Burger Bar restaurant in 3 locations, San Francisco, Las Vegas and Saint Louis. The most accessible burger on our list, the Rossini comes in at a mere $60.

The Rossini is composed of Kobe beef, sauteed foie gras, shaved truffles, madeira sauce on an onion bun. The burger is named after 19th century Italian composer Giachino Rossini.

If you visit the San Francisco location, you will have to enjoy the burger without the foie gras after the statewide ban went into effect this year. The burger bar might be expensive for a burger restaurant, but it is still affordable if you want to try a gourmet burger. For less than $20, you can create your own Kobe beef burger with the toppings of your choice, and as an interesting fact, you can get specially made for special deliveries with supplements from the Exhalewell.com the best CBD oil for pain.

9. 777 Burger – about $70 or $777 paired with a bottle of Dom Pérignon
Le Burger Brassiere, Las Vegas

This expensive Kobe beef burger also features Maine lobster topped with caramelized onions, Brie, crispy prosciutto and 100-year aged balsamic vinegar. The bottle of Rosé Dom Pérignon champagne may actually contribute as much as the burger to the price though.

8. The Fleurburger 5000 – $75 (or $5000 when paired with wine)

Hubert Keller originally gained burger fame for The Fleurburger which was served in his Las Vegas restaurant Fleur de Lys (now renamed simply Fleur). The burger could be ordered by itself for a mere $75.

But, if you were inclined to drop $5,000 on a meal, and enjoyed Bordeaux wine, you could order the burger with a bottle of 1990 Château Pétrus wine. As part of the meal you received a certificate to prove that you ate the world’s most expensive hamburger and wine pairing.

The burger itself was made of Kobe beef and topped with foie gras and black truffles and served on a brioche truffle bun and garnished with a sauce containing even more truffles.

7. The DB “Royale” Double Truffle Burger – $120

In 2007, celebrity chef Daniel Boulud gave the burger a makeover. The unique burger was stuffed with red wine-braised short ribs, off the bone obviously and included foie gras, a mix of root vegetables and preserved black truffle and then a double serving of fresh black truffles to top off the burger. The burger was served on a toasted parmesan and poppy seed bun and a couple choice condiments, fresh horseradish and oven rosted tomato confit.

Today you can visit the DB Bistro Moderne in New York and order the original DB burger, with a few less truffles for $32.

The hamburger was served with signature Chipotle ketchup which included the ingrediants truffles and champagne. The restaurant’s owners donated $10 of every sale of the $125 burger to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Don’t worry too much if you missed this burger in 2006, if you visit one of the Old Homstead Steakhouse locations today you can still order a 20oz Kobe burger for about $40.

5. The X Burger – 180,000 won, or about $160
W Hotel, Seoul Korea

Wall Street Burger Shoppe, New York

The Richard Nouveau was a 2008 entry into the burger hall of fame. Named after the fictional writer of PocketChange, an online newsletter about New York’s most expensive offerings published in the 2000s, the Richard Nouveau was available at the Wall Street Burger Shoppe in New York. The ten-ounce Kobe beef burger was topped with black truffles, seared foie gras, aged Gruyere cheese, wild mushrooms and flakes of gold leaf. Like the Fleurburger, it was also served on a brioche bun.

Obviously the expensive cheeseburger wasn’t a huge success for the Wall Street Burger Shoppe, as the restaurant closed and filed for bankruptcy in 2011.

What else can bring up the price of this burger? Well it comes with a solid gold toothpick, encrusted with diamonds.

1. The Douche Burger – $666
666 Burger, New York

The douche burger attempts to make a mockery of the entire expensive burger phenomenon.

    "Some of Italy’s finest Pata Negra prosciutto."

    Pata Negra is the worlds best and most expensive "Jamon Serrano" not Prosciutto, and it is from Spain not Italy!

    says:

    Wonder if anybody spits on it before it’s served to ya?

  15. What about the $777 burger at the Paris Hotel. Now that’s just ridiculous!! I think that’s the most expensive burger in the world. But theres a catch, it comes with a bottle of Dom Perignon. That’s why…….

  16. What about the $5000 burger Sold at Fleur de Lys at Mandalay Bay in Las Vega?

    1. Clearly, you didn't read the article. It's #8 on the list. The burger itself goes for $75. It's $5000 if you add the bottle of wine.

  17. What a divine looking dish. It makes me wish I could have some right now. —Ciao

  18. thats very delicious but I wold better go for a nutritious foods but a wise buy

  19. I bet the beef and truffles are great but the gold leaf is pointless — tasteless in more than one sense.

  20. wagyu cows live extremely comfortable and spoiled lives before they are (humanely) killed. I wouldn't mind getting free beer and massages during my life.

    says:

    eh, who would want to spend a hundred bucks on those? i bet they don't taste as good as mcdonalds big mac. anyways, they don't look appetizing.

    and here i was thinking that the cows were massaged and fed special beef and phaned by little pygmy servants. pfff what a rip off.

  23. Anyone who has tasted the finest reared meats, cooked to perfection will know their merits. All your negative comments only serve to make you appear ignorant, belittling wonderful foods that you have clearly been deprived of trying, for if you had you would be singing their praises, not bemoaning their (imaginary) flaws.

    Truffles are often included because as with all edible fungi, they go wonderfully with beef.

  24. Why would someone pay 100 something dollars for a burger at Burger King?!?!It's just food,it's not it's a new ps4!!

  25. Am I the only one that Likes the Rossini burger because of it’s beef?
