(Web Desk) – One thousand dollars is a lot of money. In that much money, you could buy an expensive phone or a take a nice trip - or you could treat yourself to a burger. That s right. One thousand dollars is the cost of one of the world s most expensive burgers, served at The Oak Door Steakhouse at the Grand Hyatt at Tokyo, Japan.
According to media reports, the Golden Giant burger is the creation of US chef Patrick Shimada. Priced at 100,000 yen - or approximately $1,000 - it is crafted with a burger bun topped with gold leaf.
Inside, the restaurant uses a 1 kg Wagyu beef patty, along with other premium ingredients like Japanese cheddar cheese and foie gras. The whole thing comes with a champagne bottle.
The base for the burger is a garlic saffron sauce, and it is then topped with veggies like tomato and lettuce. Almost as big as a chopping board, the burger is served with freshly shaved truffles - one of the most expensive food items in the world.
