The hamburger is undoubtedly the signature fast food item, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get a nice, gourmet hamburger. Are you willing to part with $5,000 for one, though? Renowned chef Hubert Keller thinks you might be. His FleurBurger 5000, named no doubt for its price tag, is the most expensive hamburger in the world.
So how do you rationalize a five grand price tag for a hamburger? Well, you could start with the fact that the burger itself is made of Kobe beef. You could, then, move on to the foie gras that’s duck or goose liver and black truffles with which the burger is topped. You could even point out that the burger is served on a brioche truffle bun and is garnished with a sauce containing even more truffles.
Then again, it could be the bottle of Chateau Pétrus 1990 and Ichendorf Brunello stemware, specially imported from Italy, that you get to take home. That may just be what makes the FleurBurger 5000 the world’s most expensive hamburger.
The FleurBurger is available at Fleur de Lys, a traditional French restaurant located in Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. They’ll even mail a certificate to your home just to prove that you ate the world’s most expensive hamburger.

GOOSE LIVER !! o.O
ummm duck or goose liverXP! EWWWWWW SERIOUSLY.. how bout a regular hamburger cooked at home sounds much betr
thats small and im not talking about the price!!!!!!!!!!!!! $5,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I said the same thing. Goose Liver/ I pass. I'll take Burger King or Carl's Jr. for 6 bucks
Sounds good and all that, but $5,000 for something that will go down the drain (if you know what I mean) its excesive and should be considered a crime
You can get this same hamburger at The Wall Street Burger Shoppe In NY http://www.burgershoppenyc.com – less all the extras
considering it’s only 175.00
I can buy me a car for $5000 that will last me day to day opposed to a hamburger that will be eaten in 5 minutes and pooped away down the drain. I guess rich people need to eat an expensive burger while the homeless stay homeless and starving stay hungry. Ridiculous.
