The $5000 Burger

January 30, 2008

Created by French chef Hubert Keller,FleurBurger 5000 FleurBurger 5000
the FleurBurger 5000 is a luxury burger served at Fleur de Lys at Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay. The FluerBurger 5000 is made from Kobe beef and topped with black truffles, foie gras, and served on a brioche truffle bun with a special truffle sauce. The burger is served with a bottle of 1990 Chateau Petrus in imported Ichendorf Brunello stemware, which they let you keep.

Looking at their menu, some of the appetizers include burgundy escargot with garlic and parmesan gnocchi and smoked salmon raviolis with guacamole. A sample of the entrees include filet mignon with braised oxtail tortellini and slow roasted Alaskan king salmon with a parmesan and herb crust, artichokes, lemon, and capers. The FleurBurger will set you back $5k, but hey at least they send you a certificate of authenticity and some Italian Ichendorf Brunello stemware.

    People over the world are dying of huger and these people pay $ 5000,- for a burger.

    This is a lie, I ate there several times and it will cost you $100-500 at max. I think someone made a mistake and added an extra “0″ cause it will cost up to $500 max, according to the last time i visited which was about 4-5months ago.

    Worth the experience, aromas and tastes that will long be rembered, this is what seperates casual cuisine and extraordinary fine dinning. I absolutely loved it.

    One man’s garbage is another man’s treasure. Given the right time, the right companion, and enough money, I might try it, just for the experience. I think some of you are missing the point. It’s no different from having a night on the town with many indulgences, It has nothing to do with those who are starving, if you are not. That’s like saying you have to do without because others do without. We all splurge from time to time. Lighten up and live a little when you can.

    This is not a lie. The component that makes the meal so expensive is the bottle of 1990 Chateau Petrus that is served with the burger. Average U.S retail is around $3000/bottle. Factor is restaurant markup typically 100%(keep in mind its vegas so, 100% is considered kind) and there you have it. It’s a highly collectable bottle served in rare, expensive stemware which they mail to you after your meal. Yes, they may serve you “just the burger”, for $100-$500 but if you want the wine with it you WILL be paying the $5000.

    intro: there is no unambiguous evidence which proves star formation is taking place: just because dust gets blown in certain directions, doesn’t mean it collapses into a new star!!! dust just clears from one area and goes to the next and a star which is ALREADY THERE is now exposed when it was previously hidden by dust!!! but u don’t see that explanation in textbooks … drdino.com
