Whopper of a price!

The Milly La Foret located in the Rose Hotel Yokohama has a hamburger on its menu for the whopper price of 4,500 yen. . . About $45!
The SK Burger contains fine wagyu filet beef, a range chicken egg, French foie gras, mushrooms, and other fine incredients.
The website claims that the hamburger is part of the food culture of the United States, but I could never imagine any American I know shelling out $45 for a burger. . . Especially one that has an egg in the center!
The SK Burger is served with soup and coffee.
I guess thinking that monstrosity looks pretty good is a sign I’ve been over here too long.

California? Why am I not surprised. . .?
June 7th, 2005 at 9:47 amThe most expensive burger I’ve had was $30 at Smith and Wollensky. It was good burger, but I didn’t understand why it cost $30 … This was a few yrs ago, I’m assuming it’s more now

June 8th, 2005 at 2:05 amFor the love of God, I’d never waste Kobe beef on a freaking hot dog. Or a burger. It’s meant to be eaten as a lovely steak.
