WHAT. THE. F.........

[Finland SSR]

I'm just glad that an alien race hasn't seen this and decided to cluster-nuke the planet out of existence.

Maybe they did, it's just that the nukes take time to arrive.

Or, worse, they want to commend us for making such a treat.

When they land and to give the chef a prize, we shoot them all.

[DnalweN acilbupeR]

Horrible, simply horrible. Food is the kind of stuff that does not get better as the price increases beyond a certain point.

[SolasDagr]

I see caviar ... yuck. I'd eat it if it was given to me and I was very hungry but otherwise pass. The bacon on it sure does look good though.

[The Rich Port]

I think it would've been easier if the chef rounded up a few homeless people and anally raped them.

[Sociobiology]

truffles, caviar, and bacon thats got to taste like shit, might as well put a ball of lard in your mouth.

[Scepez]

Who the fuck puts Truffles and Caviar on a burger?
I mean, I was Donald Trump and decided to mock people for a day I guess I would buy it, but since that ain't happening, Its a waste of practically everything.

[SolasDagr]

Seriously, a $1,770 burger? It sounds like a kludge, a mash-up of high end ingredients thrown together just to say they could. I can't imagine that it tastes very good, with all those rich ingredients in there competing for supremacy. I bet Gordon Ramsay would tell them they're trying too hard. And this is from an American diner-style restaurant called Honky Tonk. I don't believe these people understand what a REAL American style diner is.

I don't think Rolex understands what a REAL watch is either, but that's not the point of a Rolex. It's a status symbol meant to tell other people you're rich and can afford these things, not to tell time. This burger isn't meant to feed you, it's meant to show other people that you can throw out the money to do so.

Yep , status symbols. I don't understand the mentality and perhaps it's because I'm not wealthy but I seriously doubt that I would flaunt my money. I don't think I'd even want people to know I was wealthy. I'd probably buy some really nice quality things but used and at a fraction of retail price. Ugh, retail.

[Rupudska]

This is heresy. Burgers are not supposed to look pretentious.

[Gauthier]

Honky Tonk partnered with Groupon to create the Glamburger in celebration of the coupon site selling its five millionth food and drink voucher. One person will be able to try the burger for free.

So it's a milestone publicity stunt and a lucky bastard gets to eat it for free.

[Des-Bal]

It's a novelty. They created it to say they did.

Seriously. This isn't a thing that people are expected to eat regularly or even periodically regardless of how much money they have. They may as well have called it the "put us in the news" burger.

I don't think he'll think he's lucky after he bites into it...

[Benuty]

Looks like a gold wrapped aborted fetus.

I don't see how eating soft gold leaf will give you problems unless you happen to be a Cyberman.

My restrictions on eating metal aside, it probably tastes like ass.

Too many strong flavors being mixed together will do that to a dish.

"Lucky".

[CTALNH]

Is that gold on the burger?

[T Roosevelt]

Let freedom ring.

[CTALNH]

More like let bullshit fly.

[Risottia]

Is that gold on the burger?

I wouldn't be excessively surprised.

In the '70s, risotto alla milanese decorated with a thin leaf of gold on it was the dernier cri among one of most pretentious chefs back then, Gualtiero Marchesi (who since then has become much better and less pretentious, luckily). And yes, you were supposed to actually eat the gold.

[Kelinfort]

Does it taste good?

And I am all why is this a thing?

[Risottia]

Puttin truffles and caviar together is A! BAD! IDEA! already. Why waste them?

[Risottia]

And I am all why is this a thing?

'70s in Italy. Economic crisis. Showing that you weren't being affected.

More of a political-economical statement than gourmandise.
