A $ 5.000 hamburger, the most expensive in the world
There is no self-respecting hamburger lover who would not want to taste the one that is the most expensive in the world. Christened The Fleu Burger, this copy costs a whopping $ 5.000Yes, unlike other menus in which the drink is excluded from the price, here it is included and that is where the ‘trap’ of this exorbitant figure lies.
How could it be otherwise, this exquisite and expensive delicacy is served in Las Vegas, land of gambling, shows, parties and first class restaurants. Located in the Mandalay Bay Casino is the Fleur gourmet space and it is there that this and other exquisite bites are served. The truth is that this space has rather affordable prices, since a normal dinner can cost an average of 75 dollars, about 61 euros to change, but it also has dishes that are not suitable for all budgets.
The restaurant is run by the prestigious French chef Hubert Keller and in its menu you can find, above all, typical French dishes, such as coq au vin, onion soup or French bistro. But, in its offer there is also room for one of the American classics, the hamburger.
The Fleu Burger is made with wagyu meat, one of the most expensive on the market. These Japanese cows have been created and prepared to have more physical resistance with more intramuscular fat cells, which makes their meat much more tender than usual. Because the Japanese government has imposed strong regulation on this type of meat, Its value has increased considerably, costing more than 400 euros per kilo. In addition to this, it includes Braised foie gras and black truffle shavings. So far it is clear that these are premium ingredients, but far from it, they make sense of this high figure.

It is the drink that accompanies it that puts the luxury of this first-class menu. To pass every bite, the diner has a bottle of 1995 Chateau Petrus de Bordeaux, one of the most expensive and exquisite wines in the world, a first class pairing that leaves a delicious flavor on the palate.

Those who want to taste luxury do not need to go to Las Vegas, or even leave Spain. In Malaga, at the Gottan Grill Gourmet, they also have one of the most exclusive hamburgers on Earth. This exquisite Burger is made of Galician blonde ribeye with the Discarlux seal, authentic Kobe wagyu, slices of Lafitte foie from Montaut goose, black winter truffle flakes, imperial beluga caviar, payoyo cheese with tempura in Moët Chandon Rosé, brioche bread with poppy seeds and 22 karat edible fine gold.
And since the presentation is also important in a dish of such size, the burger is pierced by a stick encrusted with Swaroski. The price? Nothing more and nothing less than 1.950 euros. To taste this delicacy you have to request it on request and pay half in advance.
