A Burger Fit for The King

Burger King in the United Kingdom are set to elevate the humble hamburger to the upper echelons of fine dining with plans to include a mega-gourmet burger on the menu… at a mega-gourmet cost of £85, or about A$175.

How’s that for a, wait for it, whopper…

Burger King is rumored to have plans in the works to introduce a “premium burger” in select London upscale neighborhoods and suburbs. The sandwich will be made from top-quality Kobe beef from Japan and topped with foie gras, a French delicacy, and a gourmet blue cheese.

It better not have gherkins in it for that sort of price…
